Telegraphte Sunmary. We are disappointed in not being able to inform our readers that a vote was taken, yesterday, on the bill introduced by Mr. Pe nt of the boundary dispute between 1 length in were proposed, but reje if all the talking on the subject had been don e will be taken to-day or to-morrow, iron men of Pennsylvania, it seems, are moviog to have the tariffamended in their favor. There is not the remotest probability, however, thet the subject will be touched uatil after the | whole territorial question is disposed of; and itis very doubtfal, ev that agitation was settled to- morrow, that th ct would be taken up. Both | houses are ,and will no doubt ecjoum immediate rthe admission of the new teritories and the settlement of the slavery ques- tion. The probability is, that the iroa manufac- turersare only breaking ground for a strong effort duiing the short session. In the House, nothing very definite was dene. Afier # bill was introduced, on the petition of Miss Dix, granting ten mill of acres of land, to be devoted to the support of the indigent iasane throughout the republic, the California bill was laid aside, and the civil and diplomatic appropria- tion billtuken up and debated. This body are evidently awaiting the action of the Senate on the slavery question, and the probability is, that they will do nothing on that subject until the Senate diposes of it. In the meantime they will proceed With the appropriation bills, and get through with them, 80 as to have the field clear for the slavery agitation, and adjourn immediately after getting rid of it. Our election returns from Missouri are not very full, but, from the nature of those that have come to hend, the indications are that the State has been earried by the whigs. If such should be the re- sult, it will compensate that party, somewhat, for their loes of North Carolina. Ovr Retations witt Porrvear.—In conse- quence of the Portuguese cabinet having refased to pay the claim presented by the government at Woaehington, and as indemnity for the destruction of the privateer General Armstrong, in the port of Fayal, during the last war with Great Britain, our relations with that country have assumed an un- pleasant attitude, and even threaten war. Our representative has withdrawn, or was about to do go at the last accounts, and diplomatic intercourse is, ne doubt, by this time, wholly suspended. The whole matter will probably be laid before Congreas im « day or two. There is no doubt that the late Galphia cabinet e@ommitted a blunder in this, as it did in all other matiers that it meddled with. The Portuguese government, from the first, offered to submit the General Armstrong claim to arbitration; and agreed, in case the offer was accepted, to pay such sum as might be awarded. This course, however, ‘was too pocific for the Galphins, and, if accepted, would deprive them of an opportunity to make espital of it. They accordingly rejected it, and demanded payment within a certain specified time, Under these circumstances, payment was refused, and our diplomatic agent, in pursuance of his instructions, requested his passports. This is the present situation of this Portugal affair, Although it does not follow that war will be the result, yet we cannot but see that difficalty may grow out of it, It is rather humiliating to ovr national feelings, to see a great country Vike this assume such a belligerent attitude towards one of the weakest powers in Europe, about such a trifling matter. It looks as if we were desirous of acting the braggart and fright- ening a weaker nation out of a sum of money, fewring that if we submitted to an arbitration the injustice of our demand would be mile manifest. This is the aspect which the ma ter bears, and it is useless to conceal it. If our claim be a good one, other nations will say, why do you not submit it to the arbitrament of disin- terested parties! A good claim never loses its foree by being examined. But we will not sub to any arbitration, says the Galphin cabinet; you dauest pay up. It is really too bad that this country | should be brought into such a condition. If Porta. gal were a firet power in Europe, it would be quite erent matter, alth h, even then, the cour: of the Galphins would not be justified, in takiag the hostile attitude which they did, as long as peacea- ble means were within our control, to adjust the matter. Payment of the whole claim would not be a recompense for the stigma which the course of the Gal} ‘were it not that the demand of Eagland oa G was of « similar character, the press of that try would ring with denunciations against us. A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind. la the eyes of other nations, however, it cannot but be a Pitiable spectacle, the American republic bullying and threatening a weak power, for the purpose ef obtaining a paltry eum of money It must not be supposed, however, that there is avy real danger of war between the and Portugal. We have a different mon at the head of our State Department from John M. Clay- ton—a statesman who will do nothing to lower the dignity of the nation, at home or abroad, and ia ‘whoee ability and patriotiem the whole world has confidence Jeet of our claims against Portugal, he will, no doubt, purewe a course that will relieve us of the stigma now resting upon the country. We hardly think he will threaten and try to frighten Portugal, or order veesels of war to the Tague, to intimidate the government of that country into the payment of a claim which they are willing to submit to arbi- tration. ins has cast upon the United States: Tux Norrn Canotina Exvection axo tie Ano- nrrionrets.—The defeat of the whig party, in the election which recently took place in North Caro- lina, is attributed by the organs of the abolitionists to the Compromise bill which was sapported by Mr. Clay, and is put down by them as a popalar demon- Siration against that measure. This is a mistaken view of the subject. There is very little question that the Compromise would have been acceptable to all sections of the country, and would have been passed,ibut for the opposition of the Senators from ‘Texas, or that of other members who were fearful that Mr. Clay would derive too mach popularity from it. One of the real causes of the defeat of the Whigs fe wth Carelina was, undoubtedly, the Guusse United States | When Mr. Webster takes up the sub- | whieh that party pursued in relation to the question | of slavery. The most prominent opposer of that | measure, and of all other measures looking toa | settlement of the whole question of slavery, were | whigs, in both houses of Congress. The demo- crats proper, however, did not ideatify themselves with any oppoeition to the Soath. Hence it fol- | lowed that the people of North Carolina—or, at | least, enovgh of them to change the politica, charecter of the State—voted with the democrats. And it will be well for the whig party if that is the only State in which they w ill suffer, The slavery agitation is in a fair way ef being satisfactorily and permanently settled ; but the stigma which attaches to the whig} quence of the opposition to any practical and peaceable settlement by many of its representatives, will stick to them for years to come. Interesting from the Great Salt Lake. Through the politeness of Mr. Spencer, of the Salt Lake Settlement, we are in possession of several inte- resting items, relative to that newly settled section of the country. The territory now contains about twen- ty thousand inhabitants, of which thirteen thousand comprise the population of the chief city. The soil is very productive and eaeily cultivated. Seventy-five bushele of wheat to the acre is the ordi- nary yield, when sown broadcast; but one hundred and sixty bushels have been produced trom a single bushel of seed, when planted in drill, Corn grows only tole- rably well, in consequence ofthe nights being too cold. Potatoes are easily grown, and produce abundantly, All the smaller grains flourish. The usual time to be- gin the agricultural work is about the flest of April In consequence of the proximity of mountains, which are always covered with snow, there is very little rain, and the lands are irrigated by means of cunals, at the base of the bills, The water power is abundant, and already thore are rix flour and six saw-mllls in operation, These mills ere supplied by streams from the mountains, which afford more than a sufficiency of water to keep the | mills going all the time The climate is salubrious and healthy. During the year 1849, out of 13,000 inhabitants, there occurred but seven Ceaths—and two of those wore the result of accident. | There are several settlements in the valley, all of | which are in a flourishing condition. There is one at Utah Valley, one at San Pete, one at Little Salt Lake, three hundred and fifty miles from the chief city, one | at the west, and one at the north end of the Great | Lake. That at Little Selt Lave is more favorably situated than either of the others, It has an abun: | dance of cheice timber, and the soil and climate are excellent. The valley is almost perpetually cloar of snow. Near thelake is a high bluff of rock. upoa which are engraved bierogly phics, entirely unintelli Lie to any who have seen them. ‘The story of the spiritual wifebood is all fiction.

Sreamsuir Prsaverrnia —The following particulars of the disaster to the Philadelphia, during her late trip hence to Chagres (a briet notice of which we published on Wednesday), are extracted from a letter received | from a passen, and published in the Philadelphia | | Beening Bulletin :— | The Philadelphia gail d from New York on the 13th. | On Monday it blew hard from the South; on Tuesday it increased to a gale from S 8 W, and on Wednesday and Thursday it was a furious hurricane from the same | qvarter, During the severest of the storm, a tremen- | dows rea rtruck the starboard side of the ship abeam, tearing off the wheel house, staying the two quarter | deuts and destroying the whole starboard upper works of the ship. Breaking directly over her deck, this sea flooded her engine and fire room to the depth of four tect, instantly extinguishing her fires and leaving, of | courte, the gallant rhip in imminent peril. Her extraor- dinary sea and steering qualities saved her fromthe fury of he storm, The letter slates that too much praise cannot be awarded to Mr. William bisbee, the Chief Engineer, for the exertions he made in bis depart. | ment. Inless then an hour from the time his fires | were extinguished, he again had steam upon the ship, andthe was battling the furious gale, For seventy- two hours he was at his post without rest. Regardless of bimrelf, he devoted his whole energies to the duties of his department—looking to the minutest portion of | his engines, and keeping every part im order. Two of the firemen died trom exhaustion ; one seamen was | warhed overboard and lost; another bad his leg bro- | ken, and several of the passengers and erew were teverely hurt by the force of the beavy sea which broke upon her.” Several sea captains of experience were passengers in the ship, and it was their united opinion that almost any other sbi would have gone to the bottom under such a sea. hey pronounce the Philadelphia the finest steamboat that has ever floated, and say that, under 2 kind Providence, it is owing to her sea qualities alone, that they were all saved froin a watery grave.

The truth was that some of them had on their hands $7,000 or $8.00 worth of goods, which would not answer to keep, and must ke made up for the Southera market. Mr. L. concluded by saying he had a number of copies of the by-laws and cons itu ion for sale, at fix centseach Every member ought to have a copy, and they would thus replenish the funds, A number of persons then came forward and pur- chased copies. It was then proposed by a member to send a depu- tation to Boston and other cities, to seek assistance from their brethren there. Mr. Mactow said the member had already been anti- cipated.

Hie asked hiza to take work, but his reply was that the tailors were on a strike, ((ireat cheering ) Longstreet was ina terrible hobble. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. Kowano Matuon next addressed the meeting He said they had the game in their own hands, if they only played their cards right. The bosees were sub- mitting. one after another. and one man who said he would never sign it, was glad to do so since. Auother, to-day. agreed to pay the bill. but would not sign it This #howed his weakness, and that he felt the tailors bad conquered, He, too, would sign it before long. Those who would not eign it would have to quit the Dutiness, aud they feared nothing #0 much as to have te rink to the level of the men they oppressed. Charley Cox was President of the bosses who formed a society to put down a former strike, and that society succecded by prosecutions. But where was Charley Cox in two years afterwards?

Mr. Cooren presented numerous memorials from iron workers In Pennsylvania praying a modification of the existing tariff. He stated that one-half of the fornaces in operation at the close of the year 1847, have ceased operations altogether, and less than one- baif the amount of iron is now produced than formerly, in consequence of this, Many other interests were greatly suffering particularly the coal mining —the de- mand for Pem nia coal having fallen off at least one-baif. After additional forcible remarks, for the purpore of showing the mecessity of granting relief to the memorialists, Mr. ©. moved « reference of the memorial to the Finance Committee. Mr. Srencros acknowledged that there was great depression in the tron interests, but attributed it to the fact that the businers bad been overdone, both ia Burepe end at home; om the other baud, the agri- | eultural interests of Pennsylvania were never more prosperous than now, : THE BOUNDARY QtesTiON, | The Senate took up the bill for the settlement of the | Texas boundary. | Mr. Unnrrwoon resumed and concluded hisremarke upon the bill, He contended that even if the title of | Texas to the land proposed to be purchased, was admit-- ted to be good, the purchase was not worth the ten millions of dollars proposed to be paid for it. He was opposed to paying a sum of money to prevent a civil war. Was it possible that a tinxlo, and the cungest State in the Union, was to make war against 1 tister States about @ disputed bougdary, when we | wait for years and generations to secure claims against | foreign powers, before enforcing them by the sword f | Mr U went into a general Discussion of the question | of the tide of Texas, and of his objection to the bill in. detail Mr. Aten expressed himself as opnced to pap | ipg the debts of Texas.

He was op- | posed to purchasing landof Texas, and had favored | the payment of asrum of money, as provided ia the | Compromise bill, only for the purpose of purchasing | peace Mr. Peance submitted several verbal amendments, which were adopted. Mr. Ewixc proposed an amendment, changiag the boundaries proposed in the Dill, which’ he desired to | have printed, and moved that the farther considera- tion of the subject be postpoed until to-morrow, ia. order that the California bill might be taken up, Mr. Dickinson hoped it would not be done, | Mr. Foore hoped the Senate would go on and pase the Texas bill, before resuming the Calizornia bill. | _ Mr. Rancer hoped the Senate would dispose of this bill r to the California bill It was important that the triends of California should declare themselves upon the Texas bill, in order that those who were not anxious for the admission of California might know how to vote on the latter question. He thought that: California would be admitted much sooner by giving Texas the precedence. [le insisted that it was but right that the measure of the minority should be first acted upon : After turther debate upon this point, the motion to postpone was rejected—yeus 13, nays 32 The question was then stated upon Mr. Ewing's amendment. Mr. Ewin supported his amendment. He was well satisfied that Texas owns no territory north of the liue | which he proposed. He was anxious for the passage of the bill, and was ready to vote a large sum of money to Texas, pot to purchase her territory, but to pay her debts, for which she pledged her revenues her annexation, But he could rot vote agai his eoa- victions and opinions. In the course of subsequent remarks, it appeared that the object ot his amendment was, in part, to exclede from Texas El Passo, which is given to thet State by the bill. Purther debate ensued between Mesars. Pearce, Hale and Ewing. Mr. Cooren advocated the amendment, but said he would net have its adoption the price of his vote for the passage of the Dill. Mr. Bavcen would not he governed Sn this question by arule ot strict right. Ie would eettle the question which threatened civil war, whether the settlement: gave Texas a little, or New Mexico a little more than, what rightfully belonged to her. Mr. Peance opposed the amendment. The territory bee} to Texas by the bill was of no value to the ed States, and yet the line tisfactory to Texas ‘than was the ~ a bili to alt om 5 ore harmony, and he put out of view. ether the paltry considerations of money or of land. Aiter further debate, Mr. Ewing’s amendment wae rejected— yeas 18, nays 28.
