August 16,1850. | Avower boy Passage of New Mexico Terrti Bil in the Senate, Yisterday wes another importent day in Wash- ing'on, ve far, at least, 45 the action of the Senate is concerned. Having ordered the Territorial bill to be engrossed on Wednesday, they pasved it yes- terday in due form, leoving but one bill ia connec. | tion with the vlavery agitation to be disposed vir:—the Fogitive Siave bill. This lies over till Monday next, when, we suppose, it will be takea up oud disposed of, as the other bills have beea. Ut must not be inferred that the postponement of the Fuguve Slavery bill evinces any hostility to- wards it by the Senw'e. The truth is, we are in- clined to believe, that having expedited matters, they are disposed to await the action of the House on (he ineusures which they have disposed of before they go any further. They ean employ themeclves bene fivially in discussing and passing wuch of the appropriation bills us have received the sanction of the House of Representatives, until uch Gme ae that branch of the national Legisla- tore shall come up to them. This is the more apparent from the fact that all debate ou the eivil wad diplomatic eppropriation bill will cease to-day | an the Houre, ecerrding to resolution. Even if the | Senate should take a recess for a few days the people would wot complain, for they are well | pleased with the desire which that body has | evinced to settle the slavery question, and to finish | the business before them. ‘The House of Reoresentatives occupied the whole of yesterday, in discussing the Civil and Diplomatic Approp.iation bill. We suppose that it will be voted upon to-day, end that early next week the bills thet have passed the Senate will be Aaken up. We are glad to learn as we de, by our worrcepondence from Washington, that a better Peeling animates the Southern members of that body. The fact is, if they have not already dis- covered it, that any further agitation of the wlavery question by ultraists, from any section, will not be tolerated, and any member who per- sists in keeping the old sore open, when he has it im hie power to heal it, may as well hang his harp upon the willows, as far as political preferment is concerned The people wish this, the slavery question, settled. They are perfectly satisfied with the action of the Senate, and they are de- *irous that the House should concur in the mea- sures already passed by that body. Those mem- bers of the House who throw any impediments in the way of an adjustment of the slavery agitation, will do so at their own hazard. And it will be well for the factioniets to remember, that the odor of an uppopular act adheres a long time to those who commit it. Witness the stigma whieh at- taches, even at this day, to the Hartford Coaven- fhonists,jand to thore who opposed the last war with Great Britain. This republic is still a unit, and will probebly remain so as long ae this generation exists, at all events. ‘The Great Stragg the Cotton Fields, We perceive, by the recent arrivals from Eng- Jand, that there has been inthe British Parlia- ment a debate on the subject of the purchase of the Dunish forts on the coast of Africa. Although, ender ordinary circumstances, this debate would have very little interest for the people of this country, yet it took a range which brought up cer- tain matters thet directly concern the great com- mercial interests of the United States. We have not space. to go into the details, but it will be enovgh for our purpose to state that the chief rea- won why the purchase of these Danish forte is urged, is, that the great object will be accomplish- | ed of securing (as English statesmen think,) a re- gular and continuous supply of cotton, at a mode- rate price, in all future years. It is believed that the cultivation of cotton, as an article of barter, might be extensively carried on along the coast of Africa; and it is stated that samples of cotton re- ecived from Dehomey, have been “ of the most encouraging kind.” It is not strange that some alarm should be felt in Great Britain for the manu- facturing interests, when they are paying a hun- dred per cent more than the price the staple com- manded two years ago, and fifty per cent more than its value twelve months back. It i# appre- hended by English capitalists, that a revulsion is | imevitably consequent upon the present high prices of cotton, and that a vast proportion of the jooms of Great Britain will be compelled te stop, since the price of cotton goods im the priacips! markets of the world cannot justify the manufac- ture at presert rates. They anticipate immeasura- ble commercial distress im the manufacturing dic- thete, and that distress—which has always been great enough, God knowe—seems likely to be terribly augmented. There is very much the same state of things in England commercially, in 1850, that there was ten years ago. A repetition of such | aeenes is surely to be dreaded, and, therefore, the | alarm ie ve ry natural, The question has come op in Parliament, What | le te be done? And now the project is set on foot | to make some stupendous arrangement, by which | the Britieh marke! ean be supplied with paw cotton, by encouraging is production on the Gold Coast. | We presume that tempt will be made to carry @ut the echeme, and We He just as certain that the upshot of the whole thing Will be another South Sea bubble. A thousand differen effsrta have been made by the British capatilisie, and by the British government, to emancipate themelves from tbeir dependence wpon the United States for the great staple, but it cannot be dene. A vast ex- Periment war monde, about the year 1840, to the same efiect inthe Lust ladies. La consequence: of | the ame alarm we have spoken of, and under the inflammatory appeals of Eritish abolitionists, the whole nation was thrown into a state of excite- ment; and the government and the people were ready to expend millions in accomplishing what they supposed could be easily done, viz:—raising in the Last Indies all the raw cotton which Great Britain reqaired. Mr. Macauley said ia the British Parl ament, “that cotton could be produced in india, profitably, at a penny a pound.” The aboli- tioniste were preachiag the sinfulness of using the product of slave labor; and, according to their peculiar aotions, every man in the civilized world | who touched the product of slave labor, dipped his Bande in the blood of the innocent Consequently, the grond rtperiment began, and all the force of the Fast ladia Company, the com- sibitity. The American cotton gia was imported into Liverpool, and the cotton in the seed, from India, was there brought to the test and beautifully cleaved. Capitalists ran wild with excitement. An agent was vent to the Southern States to employ five experienced planters, on large pay, to go to the East Indies, carrying with them a perfect know- ledge of the business, and every means and faciliry which money could buy; and nodoubt, for a while, seemed to be entertained that, in a very shortperiod, American cotton would go begging in the markets of Europe; and the abolitioaiste sent up their exul- tetion with the belief that, by destroying the mar- ket for the great staple at the South, the stupendous fabric of domestic slavery would be hurled to the ground. Butthe whole thing ended in smoke. It turned , out to be a ridiculous humbug. British capitalists aguin turoed their eyes to the cotton fields of the South; the excitement died away; and it hag not been revived, toany extent, until a few days ago, When the project was again set on foot of attempt ing to do in Africa what utterly failed in the East Indies. Probably the experiment will be again tied; but it is equally certain th «tit will again fail. It is ullidie to talk about England attempting to | free herself from a dependence upon the Southern States for raw cotton. She may as weil attempt to free herself from her dependence npon China for tea, or the East for opium The eternal law of nature, aid the order of human things, are too strong for her Abolitiopists have guided her policy for the lust fifteen y e.re; and it has been proved incontes- ubly, that the abolition of slavery in the West In- Gia coluvies has ruined those beautitul islands, aud brought adouble degrsdation to the population, No fact-stands out more clearly demonstrated in the economy of sgriculiure than this, viz: that there are certain tropical prodacts which can never be produced so well, so cbundantly, so reliably, er 80 cheup, as by slave labor. [Among them chiefly are cotton and sugar The United States can produce the former, and will continue to produce it with profit, at a lower rate than any other natien. Sometimes the subject of a war between great Britain and America 13 broached; but it is too clear to require argument, that it would be ruin to Great Britain to cut off her relations with us. We pur- chase more of her goods than any nation in the world, end our purchases are increasing every year. Not less than one quarter of her entire po- pulsation depend for their ¢aily bread upon the wages they gain in the manufactories. If her murket here for these goods was destroyed, or she was cut eff from the supply of the raw material, famine and pestilence would sweep miliions of her population to the grave. The distress which is how occusional and dreadful, would be eeaseless and overwhelming. She knows this; and, al- though she does not wear her chaia of dependence upon the United States very easily, yet she cannot shuke it off. The time has come when the for- tunes of the people of Great Britain are in our hends, to a far greater extent than our fortunes ever were at her disposal. So far as British fana- tics have been able to carry out their policy, so far have they ruined the British colonies; and Englend is beginning to see it. They have at- tempted—end they have succeeded in this—to ex- cite a feeling of malignant hostility towards America; and they have tried, but tried in vain, to putan end to Southern slavery. Hand in hand with them, their brother fanatics in this country have gone forward to aid in the same unholy work. At heme, thank God, the crii we believe, is Through the convulsion the republic mphantly marching. The rights of the South, as guarantied by the constitution, will remain ia- violate, and slavery, with its blessings and its curses, remains at the dispesition of the men only whom it concerns. Tur Crors or Tux Year 1800.—According to the eccounts which are daily reaching us from the grain-growing districts of the United States, there can be no donbt that the yield for the year 1850 will be the most abundant that the country was ever blessed with, and that breadstafis will be as cheap, ifnot cheaper, thaa they everwere. The ‘West, the great granary of the country, is one vast storehouse of corn, wheat, and oats, while in the Southern and Eastern States, the product wil) be far above that of past years. We have no means of ascertaining the yield ot | lest year, but for 1848, according to the report of | the Commissioner of Patents at Washington, the quantity of wheat harvested was 125,364,600 bushels, and of Indian cora, 583,150,000 bushels. It is acknowledged on all hands that a much larger breadth of these cereals have been sown this year than ever, and this, together with the enor- mous yield, satisfies us that the wheat product this year will not fall much short of two han- dred millions of bushels, and that of corn seven hundred millions of bushels, Estimating the popu- lation of the United States at twenty millions, this would give ten bushels of wheat, or two barrels of flour, to every individual—man, woman, and child— to say nothing of the corn, which is much more then is required fer their censurnption. Of course, however, there will be a large quantity exported, but not as much as in former years. Heretofore we have depended upon Great Britain for a market for a large portion of our surplus crops, but, accord- ing to recent aceounts from them, the demand will not be pear so great as it has been in past years; although the harvest promised to be later than urna), there were no fears entertained of a short crop. In addition to that, the yield on the Con- tinent premised to be abundant, and there was very little danger of damage to the potato in Ire- land, occwrring from the rot. The surplus, over and above what we will require for home con- somption, and what will be probably exported, will, therefore, be unusually large this year, and must bring the price down to a very low figure— as low, perbepe, as we have ever seen it in the market. The extraordinary yield of wheat and flour, while it will reduce the prices of those articles so low as to place them within the command of the poorest, will aleo have the same effect om other commodities, such as pork, beef, &e., and the re- sult will be, that there will be not only a plenty of the necessaries of life, but they can be procured at moderate prices. The people may defy all at, tempts to keep vp prices, for the crop is so great that it will be impossible to monopolize it, and iy will be well for seme operators, who hold large quantities, if they can succeed in holding their porition, and avoiding bankruptcy.

There is another proverb, at all events, which, we think, ean be applied with more appropriateness to our Common Council. Somewhere, in the writings of Solomon, (* which, when found, make a note of,”) that learned author remarks :—‘* Though thou shouldst bray a fool in a mortar, like wheat, with a pestle, still would not his folly depart from him.” One year age, our city wae filled with gloom and death. Twelve hundred of our citizens were dying every | week, and the fatal scourge of the cholera was’ decimating our population. Contrary to all human expectation, the city has enjoyed unprecedented bealth during this summer, thus far, and there is much reason to hope that the public health will continue. But, still, we should mot be too san- guine, for the laws which govern the progress and the developement of that terrible disease, are, as yet, | but partially understood; and, even during the , present month, it muy visit our city, with in- | creased malignity; aud, even during the coming | Winter, it may approach with sull greater violence | than ever before. tis a curious fact, but well | ascertained, that, throughout the Russian empire, | the progress and matigaity of the cholera seems to have had little to do with the temperature of the | climate. A few y: ago, in the winter, we be- | lieve of 1847, during one of the coldest seasons | that had been known for many years, the cholera | was more fatal, along the valleys of the Volga, the | Don, and the Upper Danube, aud even along the known, during the hottest seasons, ia the most populous cities. It is lamentabie to sce, however, how dilatory | our city authorities are in making provisions for so dreadful a calamity among us. [a 1849, when the city was suffering so much, the proposal was en- tertained most favorably of prohibiting burials in | New York, and a selec’ commitiee was appointed to make a report, The members of that commit: | tee were well chosen, and a report was presented _ by the chairman, Mr. Sturtevant, now President | of the Assistant Board of Aldermen, which showed | their investigations had been carried into the very merits of the subject. A weight of testimony ab- solutely overwhelming was adduced, to show that the practice of burying the dead amongst the bodies of the living, was one of the most fraitful causes of pestilence that existed among us. The experience of London and Puris, and other Euro- | pean towns, coincided perfectly with the position; | the matter seemed to excite great interest in both boards ; and it was supposed that the petitions of several thousands of our most respectable citizens would have been listened to at once, and answer- ed by some enactment, which would have pre- vented so outrageous and baibarous a custom. We had ourselves brought out many of these facts before the report was made, and year after year had been calling public attention to the eubject. ‘We had demonstrated that, in the immediate vici- | nity of the large graveyards, in the ceatral and upper sections of the city, where, other things be- ing equal, the health of the inhabitants must have | been better than any where else in town, that un- precedented mortality prevailed, the air was load- ed with the foul poison which is emitted with the gases that spring from decomposing bodies; and, among other petitions presented, we ourselves saw several, signed by hundreds of poor but respectable | citizens, living in the neighborhood of those manu- factories of death, praying with earnestaess, and | fairly beseeching the Common Council to deliver | therm from the terror and the fatal consequences of so dreadful a curse. But the whole subject seems to have gone to the tornb of the Capulets. We see no movement made that looks like action. The subject does not | bn seem to be spoken of, and we are uadoubtedly } condemned to live on in stupidity and inactivity, until some terrible curse of Heaven again brings } the pestilence among us; and then we suppose, | when it is too late, the wise fathers of our city, | like the fool in the fable, will, with all ceremony and great parade, consider the propriety of lockiag | the stable after the horse has been stolen. Is there not some man in the Common Council who | will move in this matter, with resolution enough to curry it through ? Tux Season at Wateeino Pracks.—The usnal | animation displaying itself at fashionable watering | places, during the summer months, has charac- terized the present season. Those near the city have had their due sprinkling of denizens from the city. Many, however, have been i }. driven, by the intense heat, to more elevated — ground, and we hear of large parties among the | Green Mountains of Vermont, and at the lofty | White Hills of New Hampshire—a'picturesque and invigorating region. | On Wednesday of next week, the grand finale of fashionable life ut Saratoga will take place, after which the visiters of that region will hurry away for repose, into more remote and obseure regions. The ball promises to be a very spirited affair, and will be attended by many hundreds of the gay, witty, intelligent and silly people of the world, all anxious to see and to be seen, on this wonderful occasion. Costumers and barbers have been con- sulted, for weeks past, on the most appropriate fashions, and quite a trade has been going on among tailors and milliners to arrange all the para- phernalia. Newport will wind up, also, with a) ball; which will be designed to rival, if not to eur- | pase, that at Saratoga. When these great events in fashionable history have taken place, cold weather will send back the city absentees to their | homes, to begin a new round of excitement, at the | Opera, at receptions, at the theatres, and at the | balls of private establishments. The patience of human nature is beauti- | fully exemplified by the ease with which per-— sons of fashion, animated by a delicious | constancy, renew at every season the same _ amusements which contribute to their happiness | from year to year. Pleasure, the preachers say, soon cloys upon the appetite; but the experience of | the fashionable world shows that it demands no | variety to sustain its curious and yet steady revo- lutions.
