The Fugitive Slave bill was disposed of yester- day in the Senate, having been passed by a hand- some majority; after_doing which that bedy ad- journed to to-day. It is intimated that execative business, a good deal of which is on hand, will | eecupy the attention of the Senate until the appro- priation bills are brought before them. An attempt was mede yesterday to fix a day for adjournment, but it was unsuccessful, for the members of the | Senate are doubtless anxious to ‘see the fate of the territorial bills in the other branch of the legisla- ture. The Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill was discussed in the House, and two or three amend- | ments made to it; one providing thirty thousand | dollars for books for the members, and another giving eighteen thousand for outfits for new minis- ters. We do not think the House are as indus- wious with this bill as they ought to be, consider- ing the cituation of the country, and the urgency qhere exisis for prompt aciion on the territorial Bills. We hope they will get rid of the bill to-day, and go to work at the Senate bills. Our telegraphic information from St. Louis jus- ; tifies the belief that the whigs have elected four of the five members of Congress, making a gain to that party of four members for the next Congress. Tha election in Indiana, it appears, has resulted in favor of the democrats. This was expected. Very Interesting Information from Oregon jon of the South Channel of the Columbia River. We publish, in another part of this day’s paper, fome very important and interesting information which we have procured from Washington, relative to the operations of the United States Survey of the newly discovered channel in the Columbia river, aud the commerce of Oregon. This infor- mation will be very acceptable to our commercial men, as well as to uaderwriters. It is contained in a cerrespoadence between Professor Bache, of the United States Coast Survey, in Washington, and Mr. Thurstor, the delegate from Oregon, and ethers. We invite for it careful perusal by the | vantages which Oregon possesses. navigation of which is so difficult and dangerous, according to all aceounts. In thatevent, he would have had more reason for calling upon the protec- tion of Loyola, as well as more need for it. We mean this without irreverence. The discovery of this new channel in the Colum- bia river removes the only impediment which ex- isted in the way of Oregon becoming the richest, most prosperous, and most eligible of our territory bordering on the Pacifie. She may not possess gold mines in such abundance, or 8o rich, as Cali- fornia does ; but she has what is as good, and per- hops better—a soil rich without parallel, a delicious climate, abundance of coal and timber, water power without end, and navigable streams which abound with fish of the rarest and best quality. The Co- lumbia river stretches from its mouth about two hundred miles to the east, thence it takes a north- erly direction for a distance of one hundred and fifty miles, and thence extends eastwardly again fora distance of one hundred and seventy miles. It is navigable a distance of fifty-four miles | above Vancouver, or about one hundred and fifty- four miles from its mouth. The Willamette is a tributary of the Columbia, and furnishes an inex- haustible water power. Every description of grain can be successfully cultivated in Oregon, and the Columbia and its tributaries abound with the finest salmon and other fish, such as carp and trout. With a simple basket, the Indians catch two hun- dred and fifty salmon at a haul; and so numerous are this fish, that when the rivers overflow and again recede, myriads of them are left on the banks and in the gulleys, the stench of which, when pu- trefaction sets in, is experienced at a distance of miles. An immense trade in fish could be carried on between Oregon and California, South Ameri- ca, ond the United States. ‘We have thus cursorily referred to the many ad- Rich in all that furnishes necessaries and luxuries for the use of man, with everything that could be desired in soil, climate, rivers, timber, and water power, that territory promises to be one of our wealthiest States, before many years. Let emigrants direct their steps thither, and let enterprise and energy develope its resources, and it will become the gar- den of the United States—the choicest spot on the American continent. ‘The Russian Policy of Extension. ‘The announcement is made, by every fresh ar- rivel of news from Russia, that the Emperor Nicholas is increasing his forces, and preparing munitions of war on a grand scale, significant of rome purpose. What possible object the Czar may have in contemplation, however, becomes a puzzle even to the facile imaginction of the professional political correspondents of the English newspapers. These clever writers, who are apt to circumscribe the design§ of Nicholas by the narrow limits of Western Europe, lose sight of the great policy of Russia, forget her position, and do rot think of the giant strides which, in her dreams, that mighty empire would make from her remote eastern frontier, eastward and to the south. Recently, while calling attention to the fact that a Turkish embassador has embarked on board the United States storeship Erie, for this port, we were forced to notice the general policy of Russia towards Turkey ; but the designs of the former power in- crease so rapidly in the extent of her preparations, that some further notice must be taken of a fact which will interest, eventually, the government of this confederacy. For many years past, the fleet stationed upon the Black Sea, and containing within it many powerful war steamers, has given significant inti- mations of a purpose en the part of Nicholas, at once bold, gigantic, and vastly important to the civilized world. The forts at Odessa, at Sevasto- pole, Theodosia, Anapa, and all along the coast of the Euxine, and also upon the sea of Azof, at Teganrog and at Azof, supported with great diffi- culty and expense, as they are, speak loudly of a future which is not only possible, but very probable. Cheeked by the haughty defiance and the uncon- querable patience of the Cireassians and Georgians, the Czar finds numerous obstacles opposing the mercantile part of our community We learn by these letters, that the commerce of Gregon is increasing at an unprecedented rate; that the arrivals and departures from that territory amounted to ninety-five between April the Ist, 1849, and June 26th, 1850, composed of vessels va- rying from one hundred and fifty to seven hundred tons burthen, and that the newly discovered chan- nel in the Columbia river is perfectly safe, and af- fords good andeasy navigation for vessels of all project of his ambition to subject these nations, that he may more readily and easily advance and subject Smyrna and the whole of Turkey in Asia. Sweeping with a powerful fleet down the Bospho- rus, and taking the great city of Constantine, the Czar would thus have free egress and ingress for his present southern dominions on the Black Sea, even to the Mediterranean Sea, by the Sea of Mar- mora and the Archipelago. If this desirable con- quest could be made, Persia would fall naturally elasses, whether inward or outward bound. Since the discovery of the channel, on the nineteenth of April last, vessels of large tonnage have daily passed over the bar at pleasure, with and without pilots, and without an hour's delay. The channel has not yet been thoroughly surveyed; but from what has elready been done, we learn that the least depth of water found on the bar at half tide, was rixteen feet, and at two miles inside of the breakers it deepened to five fathoms, and from seven to nine fathoms at a distance of two miles inside the bar. So safe and easy is the navigatioa, that it occupies a vessel but twenty or thirty mi- mutes to reach the wide ocean from the time she Jeaves the anchorage at Sand Island; and, what is of equal importance, we are informed that it is not mecessary for vessels to tack on the bar with any wird. The discovery of this new channel will be ef incatcu) Sle importance to Oregon, and to the | @ommercia interests of the United States. The entrance ints the Columbia river, from the Pacitic Ocean, has been the dread of mariners ever siuce fs discovery; and many vessels have been lost among the breakers there, and numerous lives lost | These dargers have all been dissipated, as it were, fn an instant, by the diseovery of the new channels anda new anda bright destiny awaits Oregon in eonsequence It is not a little carious that, previous to the dis- @overy of the new channel, it was looked upon as Being sealed agaiost the entrance of any vessel from the sen ; and mariners never approached the mouth ef the Columbia without offering a prayer that they mig tnot be forced into the southern chan- gel. Foether De Smet, the celebrated Catholic missionvry, informs us of the imaginary dangers which he, and all on board of the vessel which he | ook passage in, incurred on entering the Columbia. Tt happened on the thirty-first of July, 1844, the | feast of the great Loyola. This auspicious circum. @tance, he says, gave him ea; and full ef confidence in the protection of the founder of the order to which he belonged, he and his famvociates prostrated themeeives on the deck, and fervently implored St. Ignatius Loyola not to abandon them in their need. As they ap- | proached the river, they redoubled their prayers. As they came near, the captain took soundings, gud found seven fathoms of water, then six, then five, and then three. It was thea expected that the vessel would be dashed to pieces. Soundings were again taken, and a depth of four fathoms ob- tained; but soon it was reduced to three. Con- sternation again seized upon all haads. The liew- tenant exclaimed that the route was mistaken; but the captain kept op, and the vessel crossed the bar safely. “Heavtn,” says Father De Sweet, “ was for us; otherwise, neither the skill of the captain, mor the sailors activity, could have rescued us from inevitable ceat! In the fulness of his gratitude, the reverend father exclaimed :—“ Glory to God, and also to St. Ignatias, who so visibly protected hhis children on that day.” He also says, that this vas the first verse’, and probably it would be the Sant, that would pase through that channel. It was a very fortunate thing for the people on board of that vessel, that the captsin was entirely unac qainted with the rocks and breakers at the mouth of the Columbia, ard was, likewise, not provided with charts, wh cb, the missionary informe us, was he case, for hud he not been conpelled to take the southern channel, the probability is that the veasel ‘Would have been lost im the portheyn channel, the enough into the desires of the ambitious Nicholas, and he would not stop in his progress of acquisi- tion till he should be able to annex Turkey in Asia, and other kingdoms of the east, to his terri- tory and surveillance. Bulgaria, Romania, and Rumelia, however, will be able to cope formida- bly with the aggressor on the western coast of the Euxine, and Anatolia, or Asia Minor, as itis usually called, weuld meet with an iron front even the Russian forces, even though they might be flushed with the eonquest of Circassia and Georgia. The war in the Caucasus now hinders the pregress of Nicholas. Years have been spent in a vain at- tempt to subject the scattered and impoverished, but yet warlike, people of that region. Neverthe- less, should the great military force now enlisted by the Czar, be sent forward to cut the way for a greeter future march of warlike power, it is impos- sible to conjecture the result of such a determina- tion. There can be no doubt, though, that we have sketched the main features of the design, and that we are very likely to-be a correct prophet as to the destination of that host of an army now prepering for distribution and for aggression. The immense force of Nicholas evidently is not in- tended for any direct application and bearing upon the nations of civilized Europe. The Czar is interested equally with them in the preservation of peace, in order that monarchical usages and power may the better be strengthened and consolidated. Nicholas, with admirable sagacity, perceives the usefulness of opening an uninterrupted channel with the Mediterranean, not only to strengthen his own power on the borders of the Euxine, but to add thereby to the prosperity of the starving inhabitants of that region, and of the Crimea, that lovely locality where Jason sought the gelden fleece, and where the early Christians planted their standards and their faith, | Within the rocky walls of the Greek church, the early simplicity of which has now departed. in @ commercial point of view, the conquest desired by Nicholas might be extremely valuable to him, and to his subjugated allies; but the United States can never look on with indifference, in con- sequence of any and all possible good, when an onslaught shall be made upon Turkey. The land of the Moslem is the great barrier against the fusion of the European elements, which republican countries must dread and o; - Consequently, we may well rejoice that hon fo a waa of our using, through diplomatic Sagacity, a vast in fluence upon the world’s balance of power. Cir cumstances, manifold end almost marvellous, guided by a special Providence, furnish us, at the present time, an admirable opportunity for protect- ing this continent against the European combi- nation which will, ene day or other, be attempted. France, at present, is an anomaly. With all her greaimere—with all her political energy—with all her republican spirit—ehe presents merely the hope of an hereafter with which « republican country can sympathize. If she should prove true to her- self and to her professions, she will be a political sister of the United States, worthy of our most enlarged and liberal regard and love; and in this anticipation we must leave her for the present, to . express delight at the prospect of a more intimate alliance between our country and Switzerland. With Switzerland and Turkey acting in unison with the United States, and with the expectation that France will come into their unassuming yet protee- tive league, the c: cane diminution of oppression throughout Europe, may be advanced io a manner at once quiet, inoftensive, and full of blessing to the happiness ef the werld. The vast cou merce ef our rapidly ncreasing country will be the cement of the peace of nations ; and, jealous of any infractions upon it or un its interests, we shall be able to remonstrate against any cruel and uncalled for aggressions by the powerful nations of Europe. The Czar of Russia may have his ambitious projects, without number, and sternly magnificent in their imaginary sp!en- dor, but the practical execution of them cannot be carried out while our interests oppose a barrier to their dangerous display. With Switzerland and Turkey acting in unison with us, these two nations will become important for the maintenance of peace and for the security of commerce, and happier still may be the day when we count upon France as another nation in the natural league against arbitrary oppression and the of human liberty and of the | gtp'tege™" hostile extension of kingly empire. Tre Faswtonante Wortp—Tok Warerina Piaces, anv THE CLosina or THE SEason.—The fashionable season culminates, and, like the moth, after putting on its finest colors, will live but a day, and then be numbered with the past. The sum- mer of 1850 has been a remarkably lively one at all the watering placcs. Saratoga, which has been full—too full for comfort, Lake George, Sharon Springs, Richfield, Niagara, Lebanon Springs, Catskill Mountains, West Point, and Lake Maho- poe, have all had their share of patronage. Then there is the White Mountains, in New Hampshire, and the White Sulphur Springs, in Virginia, and the renowned Newport, in Rhode Island. At all these places, for some weeks past, men and women, youths and children, have been hard at work en- joying themselves. Many of them labor more severely during the season devoted to summer recreation, than at any other time in the year. For what with routes, rides, dancing, dining, break- fasting, bowling, etc., etc., with the necessary devotion to the toilet, which is incumbent upon those who would maintain a fashionable reputa- tion, they perform more actual labor, day by day, than would make up a good day’s work at any useful employment. Saratoga has already had its season, and will, before many days are over, be ready to shut the doors of many of the hotels until another summer. One or two hotels will prolong the season till the middle of September, but Sara- toga will not be the bustling, gay, thriving, crowd- ed resort of fashion, that she was last week. She settles down now to a quiet, well-behaved, country town, where persons, fond of retirement and Coa- gress water may enjoy themselves. time the whole flock of pleasure-seekers are on thé wing, and will, for the most part, settle down ia Newport sometime during the present week. Next week the closing pageant of the season takes place there, and then early frost will follow, killiag potato vines, and sending the fashionables pell mell into town, where they will worry oat the winter by attending the opera, giving and attending soirées, and closely following fashion and folly, either in the large cities, or at the national metropolis. One of the principal benetits resulting from the system of fashionable rendezvousing is the good which they diffuse in the way of patronage to tradespeople. There are many of these shrewd far- secing shop-keepers and mechanics, besides thou- sands of hotel servants, who follow in the train of fashion as ardently as do the ¢on themselves. They are at Washington, New York, and New Or- | leans in the winter, but the early summer finds | them at their post at Saratoga, Newport, or else- | where, ready to derive all possible benefit from the | prodigality of the rich. This is all right. The grandfathers and grandmothers of the monied belles and beaux, who lead the gay throng of the water- ing places, were,!for the most part, useful people,and earned an honest living, and so it will come about, hat the children’s children of the haberdashers and hair-dressers, tailors and toymen, cord wainers and confectioners, who now dance attendance to the rich, will, intheir turn, ride in fiae coaches, with nondescript coats of arms emblazoned on their doors. They, in their turn, will then scatter yrofusely about them the very shillings which are } now carefully husbanded by the industrious me- chanics who produce the comforts which are to be | bought for money.,The expenditures have not been so lavishly made by the fashionables at the North | this year, as in some former seasons. It is no easy | matter to nccount for this. At Saratoga there was | 4 great deal of wealth, but with a few exceptions of | the purchase of expensive jewelry, there was no | expenditures of sufficient importance to create a topic for conversation ; this is rather remarkable, | as this has been one of the favorite modes of lion- izing heretofore. Some say that an overweening | attachment for the gaming table led to an invest- | ment of money in play, instead of appropriating it elsewhere. The young ladies complained of the | t#! want of attention shown by young gentlemen, and | said that the beaux must possess a wondrous affee- } tion for the “‘tigre,”” when they paid so much atten- tion to it. The fair one: so much as one serenade given during the season. Receiving this hint, the band was called into requi. sition by the young gentlemen, who serenaded the fair ones one night, but verified the complaint of the ladies by serenading the*tigre” (gaming house) the nextnight. They owned that the “tigre” had possessed the greatest amount of their affection | during the season, and to it, as the object of their | e regard, they devoted a serenade. Some queer things develope themselves, when | we observe what distinctions are made in opera. | tive law, as well as by conventional usage, be- tween the rich and poor. If a poor man beats his | wife unmercifully, and she cries out lustily, the ; police rush in and carry off the offender, who must expiate his misdeed according to law. A rich man, at a fashionable hotel, gives his wife a regular ‘hreshing, and people merely say, “How strange,” | and some even venture to assert that such conduct | is wrong and unbecoming aman, but the law never thinks of interfering. A poor tailor, living in poor | apartments, gets on a Saturday ni spree, quar- rela with his better half, and threatens to kill her. | He is seized, imprisoned, and made to answet for | his violent conduct. A rich tailor, belonging to | the fon, goes eut shooting, comes back to his hotel tipsy, quarrels with his wife, and points a pistol at | her. She cries out, the peace is broke, but the | rich tailor suffers none of the legal chastisement | which his poor brother has to endure. A practical | illustration of this occurred at Saratoga a few day, | ago, where a titled nabob did the thrashing, and a rich tailor did the pistol exercise. There must | be deep philosophy, and a good reason for these | distinctions somewhere, but we have not yet dis- covered what that philosophy is, nor what good | reason governe in such cases. But there is no time now for entering into a dis cussion concerning such matters. The grand fancy drees ball, the last of the season, will come off at the Ocean House, Newport, on Thursday night of next week, after which we shall be better able to -review the whole fashionable season. It has been @ gay one, but not fo brilliant as Inet year. One improvement has been made, namely: —many persons of wealth have discarded livery and their servants now appear in the more re publican style, with no dietinctive mark, except their manners. This emacks of wisdom, and we have hopes of the fashionables yet. Intaneetive raom Jeremie, Bt.

The American £cientific Association numbers, amongst its membeis, many men of great capacity of intellect, and deep studied knowledge of the lofty stage of science, an acquaintance with the phenomena of earth, and a knowledge of heavenly bodies, their magnitude, their motions, and their distances. Those who have read the account of their late proceedings, as extended throughout the pages of the! Herald, for some days past, will not only be entertained, but instructed, and may receive, from their perusal, a world of information, which it has taken a large body of men years, perhaps, to ascertain. In this convention we had a combination of ta- lent—rare in its separate excellence—honorable to a new country yet in its infancy of indpendence, and such as is seldom to be witnessed at one as- gemblage, im any portion of the globe. We had [imineus communications on the various branches of science. In them may be found descriptions of plants, the distinctive characters of shells of mol- Iusea, the decomposition of rocks and minerals, of fossils of many kinds, of reptiles, of fish in all Tts yertabreta, and as compared with man, of dyna- miecs, galvanic wire electricity, lunar distances, tidal und meteorological observations, optical moving figures, the theory of solar spots, magnets, crystals, nitrates, the anthracite coal regions, ex. periments of colors in vision, American minerals, magnets, the structure of cells in animals, the rep- tilian footprints, metorites, solar eclipse, measure- ments, age of the metamorphic rocks of Eastern Massachusetts, the terrestrial mollusca in Jamaica, the absorption of acids by solutions, longitudes, and various other interesting subjects of chemistry, geology, natural history, physics, and mathematics. We had also a highly interesting communication on the volcanoes of Central Ametica, which will form not the least interesting of the documents furnished at this assembly. The whole will make an interesting volume for the scientific world, and the convention of 18% will be an epoch long remembered amongst the fraternity of philosophers, us one that has tended to elevate and improve the youthful mind, whilst it has added new vigor, and given new impulses to those already honored alike in science and in years.
