The United States Senate having adjourned from Friday to Monday, that branch of the national Jegislature was not in session yesterday. No pro- gress, was made ,in} the House of Representa- tives with the territorial bills. Itis really to be hoped that the members of the House will proceed with them as rapidly as possible, in preference to anything else. We are glad to learn, as we do by our private correspondence from Washington, that the friends of union, peace and harmony, are con- fident of carrying those bills. We are glad to see that those measures receive the sanction, and it appears, meet the wishes, of the people of Texas. ‘We learn so by our telegraphic intelligence. The proceedings in the Texan Legislature, on the meeting of that body, are very important. They unanimously resolved to maintain the integrity of their territory at all hazards,in reference,of course, to the claim of that State to a portion of New Mexico, and a bill was introduced to raise five regi. ments, of one thousand men each. We hope there will be no occasion for theirservices. 1t will, however, depend upen the action of the House of Representives at Washington. Our readers will find in another column, a copy of a letter addressed by the late Proffessor Web- ster to the Rey, Dr. Parkman, brother of the late Dr. Parkman, on the sixth of last month. It is eonceived in a very Christian spirit, begging forgiy- nees,, andj expressing sorrow for the dreadful ae which the unfortunate writer committed in killing Dr. Parkmen. From its contents we are inclined to believe that he killed his victim in the manner stated in his last confession, viz: in a moment of passion ,and without premeditation. Exrorcement or Mitrtary Disciriint.—There has been considerable discussion, and some excite- ment, among our military circles, for some time, as to the interpretation of a section of the militia Jaw, insisting upon every officer of the militia residing “‘within the bounds of his command.” Some of the officers have taken a wide latitude in interpreting it in their own favor, while others have been anxious to enforce a closer interpre tation, in order to maintain some degree of dis- cipline, without which, they contend, a military organization is a mere farce. title 2, chapter 10, of the revised statutes of this State, runs as follows:— The dist section of Every officer who shall remove out of the bounds of his command (unless such command shall be in any of the cities of this State), and every officer who shall be absent from his command twelve months, without leave of the commanding officer of his brigade, shall de considered as having vacated his office; and «a new eleetion shall be held without delay to fill the vacancy #0 ©: oY Every regiment in the city belongs to a eertain ward or wards, aad were it not for the latitude conveyed in the words ‘ unless such command shall be in any of the cities of this State,” every officer of the twelve regi ments, of which the first division of the State militia | eonsists, would be compelled to reside in one or ether of those wards to which the regiment be- longs, and a removal into another ward would be “a removal out of the bounds of his command.” Removal from the city, however, cannot be con- strued with the same laxity, and it seems there are several officers, more or lees high in command, re- | siding in New Jersey, and some of them at a still greater distance (rom their “ commnand,” who are either proceeded against or are about to be, in order to their removal from office.

The difference between Halifax and New York and Borton has been ascertained, by re} be 18 houre—48 hours being @ quick York, and 30 hours to Boston, Annexed is an extract of a letter from a passen- ger by the steamer Asia, on her last voyage out:— * Sreamern Asia at Sea, H Aug. 16, 1850—11 A.M. “Thus far.we have run before the wind;’’ I may say literally so, having had more favorable winds and good steaming weather than I ever met before; and still we will not make so good a voyage as I expected. Tho Pacific, under the same circumstances, I am con- vinced, would have done better; and as my last voyage was made in that steamer, I think the conclusion fairly arrived at. ‘We expect to make the north coast of Ireland at 1 P. M., in which event we will reach Liverpool at about the same hour to-morrow (Saturday), andI hope in time to send this by steamei I intended to log, but Judkins won't jon as to our run.

Will try and add P.8. on lauding. Liverroot, Aug. 17-10 AM. Here we are landed, and found all our friends well. I annex a rough memorandum of our log, obtained at the last moment. It will be seen, in arriving at the passage of the Asia, that six hours detention at Halifax are de- ducted, and only eighteen heurs added as the dif- ference in distance between Boston and Liverpool, and New York and Liverpool. These estimates are both wrong. If any detention at Halifax is to be allowed, four hours are as much as can be claimed; but this apparent loss of time is made up by enabling the Asia to start lighter from Boston, and to take in coal at Halifax. The difference in distance between Boston, New York and Liver- pool, is twenty-one hours, according to the official statement of the Cunard Company of the passages of all the Cunard steamers, throughout the entire year of 1849, from Halifax to Boston, Halifax to New York; Boston to Halifax and New York to Halifax. If both steamers had started from New York, and making no allowance for detention at Halifax, their passages would be as follows:— Aria. 8, 16 hours, 80 minutes. Atlantic. :. 13 B80 In favor of the Atlantic........ 3 hours. Concede as much detention at Halifax to the Cu- nard steamers as their warmest friends may claim, for the sake of a short passage, it appears that the Atlantic landed her passengers and mails at Liver- pool, three hours ahead of the Asia That’s the point with the public. But the Asia is a splendid steamer, and the Cunard Company deserve the highest credit for their energy and enterprise. With the Collins and Cunard steamers we ought to be satisfied. Only ten da) crossing the At- lantic is wonderful. Nine days will be more so. Otp News Renewen.—We have received, threvgh the kindness of an antiquarian friend, two copies of the New York Herald, published in this city in 1804, at Ne. 40 Pine street, by Michael Burnham—price four dollars a year. This news- paper is very interesting. The prices current are well arranged, and the news is quite entertaining, if not very important. By the prices current, the qvotations ou the nineteenth of September, 1304, The admission of Louisiana into the Union draws forth a variety of curious matter, and an article is copied from the New Orleans Union, which is introduced by a letter as annexed : An der be toomuch misrupresent of do proceed of the late meet of de oppressed Louisiane people by der epneml, and as de remonstrance memorialie adiross have not been published by de gentlemen citizens wat rite him.

COMPOSITORS IN THE NEW YORK HERALD OFFICE. Every few weeks, the typographical fraternity are startled by an account, similar to the above, of the wonderful performance of some one of their number.

However, the idea that any man can distribute, set and correct more than 1,200 ems of solid matter per hour is ridiculous; we do not believe that there is, or ever will be, @ person who can do it. As regards Mr. Keeling’s abilities, if he ever finds his way to New York, he will perhaps meet with a ber who are able to cope with him. City Pout! Firteenta Wanrv Demockatic Evection.—On Friday evening a primary election fer the Fifteenth ward was ordered by the General Committee, who were not satis. fied with the former election. The election was called at the house of Mr. Alexander, on the corner of Lau- rens and Houston streets. The inspectors appointed by the General Committee—namely, William H. Bol- Joseph Marsh, Tenth ward—opened the poll at four o'clock. There were two tickets—a yellow one, call- ed the “J. EB. Ross” ticket, and a white one, called the “Norris” ticket. The names on the former were ;— For Ge: 1 Committee—Jobn E, Ross, James I: Reosevelt, Abraham 'T. Hillyer. For Distriet Convention—James Lee, John Gillmore, Patrick MoCarty, Daniel U. Eaton, Mathew McBride. ‘The names on the latter were :— General Committee —Daniel W. Norris, James J. Roosevelt, Lucius Robinson. Assembly Convention—Nathaniel Boyd, J. MeCul- lough, Charles Cox, J.

The ballot: box was taken off the counter by some of the { ‘tors, who were behind it. and some- body cried out—* Bolton is unlocking the box, to put tickets in by the handful.” A crowd rushed forward, and the baliot-box was produced again, After some Birleying, the voters claimed theright te vote. Messrs. jolton and Gilmartin refused to receive their votes 7 the people appealed to the other inspector, Mr. Marsh, who said he was willing to go on it the others could stay with him. Mr. Bolton then lett: and Mr. Gilmartin remained balfan hour; but would re- evive no tickets until Mr. Holton’s return, He did not. however. come back, and Mr. Gilmartin left, and was soon after followed by Mr. Marsh.
