Benton, of Missouri, in a | long speech, endeavored to explain away the course | which he pursued in opposing the co.npromise bills | asihey were reported by vmmittee of Thirteea, and corelieve himselfofthe odiamwhich he iacurred | by so doing. His explanation coarisied of nothing | but that it wos contrary to form to connect a number of bills together, and it was en that seco unt that he | opposed them collectively. Messrs, Clay and Foote, however, were not disposed to let him off, aad | plumply replied to hia, that, uader the circam- | es of the country at the time of the introduc. | » Mere matiers of form should aot | be puactiliourly attended to. The rebuke was well | merited. ‘The remainder of the doy was taken up with the Bounty Land bill, to which aa ameadment was oilered aud agreed to, exieadmg its benefits to ‘he marines who served oa the coast of Florida during the Seminole war The most important proceedings ia the House of | Kepreseutatives were those ia which Mr. Stevens, | of Pennsylvania, figured. That gentieman gave notice of bills to prohibit slavery ia Utah and | New Mexico, and to repeal the Fugitive Slave | bill, recently passed by the two houses of | Congress. Thus, we eee, that the example of Wa H. Seward, in the Senate, isfollowed in the House of Representatives. From present appearances, there seems to be uo doubt that the abolitionist wing of the whig party are determined, if possiblo, to revive the slavery agitation, and to promote by all the means in their power, discord between the Northera and Southern sections of the republic If euch funatics and disorganizers be not repa diated by the whig party, it ie easy to see what the result will be. They will be scattered like chaff | before.the wind.

The death of Lowi the approaching wial of the power of republican- isman France, promise a future that cango! de pro- phesied, without eatraordinary study and many reeei vations. The most peculiar event in Eagiand has been the weatment of Geseral Heynau, the detested | butcher of the Hungarians. He recently visited London, and having vueited of the large breweries im that ciiy, Was coon diecovered and ae verely assaulted by the workmen. His life wae in mach danger, and the indigeant workasa seised him by the movetache, and turing his clothes from him, aseailed him with every available mix tile He made his eacape, however, and though warmly pureed, was enabled to free himself from the hands of those whose moral erase had been one wards the Hungarian patriots, Such aa act as | this will bave an important influence, we doubt | hot, upon the masees of the people on the buro.ean | continent.

It purports to be a suit of libel, brought by Wilker, publisher of a worthless weekly paper, against the proprietor of this journal, for the insertion of some statement made by one of the parties, or witnesses, in the famous torpedo case, and which had been communicated in the usual way by the counsel for one of these parties, and inserted in the columns of our journal. The mise- rable foundation of this superstructure acquires some importance, however, when we see the etrange developements it leads to in reference to the torpedo mystery. Truth and fact have, some- times, strange modes of getting themselves before an iatelligent world. Itis difficult, at the same time, to escape the meshes and subterfuges of the law, and for vimple truth and unadorned fact to get rid of the habiliments which lawyers weave around it. Ja the legal proceedings ef this case, however, we have not only a developement, in an extraordinary way, of what has hitherto been deemed @ great mystery, but an exhibition of the workings of the absurd and ridicnlous code of law which has been visited upon the people of this State, by igaorance and presumption, and which is | feltas « burden, and increasing expense, day by | | day, week by week, aod year by year. The first remarkable feature of thie case of libe}, is the complete developement to which it has lead, us regards the famous torpedo mystery, for which eeveral individuals buve been indicted and tried to RO boit of purpose, and which has eccupied the at- tention af courts, judges, and lawyers fora great length of time. We caanot now enumerate all the particulars of this famous matter. Read these le- gil proceedings. The names of Thomas Waraer, George Wilkes, One-Uyed Thompson, Bristol Bill, the two Drurys, and God knows how many others, Will at Once spring into the recollection of every reader—in fact, the whole of the weli-kaown fea- turee of that famous mystery, ae it Waa showa up, coufused and confounded to the public, through the Herculean laborsef a mob of lawyere, at the courts of Sessions and Oyer aud Termines. By carefully reading over the proceediags in the present case, epared by common sense and an intelligent iatel- leet, who understands law and good sense at the same time, the whole mystery enveloped in that case—the purposes, the persons, the motives with which the torpedo was manufactured and carried tothe house of Tho time, ost completely revealed to the public, aad made plein to the meanest capacity. In these pro- ceedings the whole affair is explained. A state- ent is, for the first time, here put forth—a state- colleeted fram reliable witneszes, tify to the correctness of the facts there- in contained. By this statement, it appears that young Drury, without eny criminal intention what- ever, and not understanding what the torpedo coa- | tained, and believing it, as he was told by the mas- ter spirit hiawelf, to be a box of Moffat’s pills, took itto the house of Warner, ond there left it; aad that old Drury had no more to do with the matter, and can be no more implicated in it, than the maa ia the moon, or the traveller coasting the shores of the Pacific. These are the simple facte of that famous myste. Ty, ## presented in these legal proceedings, and supported by witnesses who will prove the same before any court of justice. This isone of those singular revelations in this curious suit, growing out of the queer operations of the new code. Mr. MeKeon, the district attoraey, and his two ulds and sesistante—Phillips, on the one hand, and Graham en the other—with the assistance of iunumerable others, understrappera and over- it rests with that party to remaia | streppers, have been laboring for twelve months | eguse it has had nopast. This she feels and cx. | or more to find the truth of this torpedo mye tery. ond heve hitherto failed to convinee any jury, or to saticfy any reasonable man, as to { wao originated it, whe concocted it, or who were | they who perpetrated it. Here is the whole thing in thie sinwple libel suit, brought out by Wilkes, like a simpleton and a blockhead. Here it leaks out in this wnexpected ond curious way, under the wise and wonderful workings of the kew code. Trath is mighty and will prevail. But the present curious proceedings, which we present to our readers, produce in the minds of the lawyer and the intelligeat reader, reflections of a much more interesting and important character in connection «ith the workings of the pew code of Jaw, unfortanately inflictyd on this State, probably for ite manifold ting and tranegressions. Under thie code, it had been expected that law proceed- ings would be simplified, cheapened and made sen- wible in the highest degree. The contrary has been the result, as every case new growing up and lengthening 1¢# legu indicates and attests. The new code only exhidiis more absurdity ead folly, more iqoorance and want of common pense, agit is more tried aud felt. Judges, junee, lawyere—all men of intelligenee—aeree im this jadgmeat of the new code. Instead of cheapening the meens of reach- ing justice, the capences are multiplied tenfold Losteed of reduciag the practice of law to the sim” ple principle common sense, it only neulti- plied it* difficulies, increased its absurdities, and item of rascality.

Jenny Lind, since her arrival inthe New World, bee appeared in two mighty concerts, and the third will be given this evening. Her appearance in the Old World wes as significant an event as the ap pearance of Dante, Tasso, Ravhael, Sha%speare, Goethe, Thorwaldsen, or Michael Angelo. As sign of the progress of civilization among the northern natione, its importance cannot be exag- gerated. Ase cantatrice, she is as much superior to all her northera predecessors as Napoleon was to his contemporaries, or as Eli Whitney, the in- ventor of the cotton gin, was to the first “‘gemman ob color” who used it. She has changed all men’s ideas of music, as much 80 as Bacon’s inductive system revolutionized philosophy. It is anew era in art, as much as Raphael's birth. It is chiefly interesting, too, as coming from anew and unex- pected quarter—the North ; and it shows, among other signs, that the wand of civilization has fallen from the hands of the southern nations, and passed to the hardy northern races. Eighteen hundred years ago, Italy alone pose seesed the arts in a florid and prosperous state. The Romans dieplayed, from the beginning, the hardy vir- tues, the cool firmness, the philosophical judgment, and resolute power of execution, which have always distinguished the northern races. They made the polished Greeke and all the southern nations bend to them. But they made little progress among thei northern enemies. When, at last, the old Roman race died out, end degenerated into the softer and enervated Italians, that great empire was diemembered, and the northern hordes rushed down upon prosirate Italy, and took poeseseion of t, as we have begun to do with Mexico. It ended in their teking it all efter a while, as it will end in our teking all south of On the fall of Roman | civilization, the new nations which came in recon- | structed @ new civilization, which showed itself | firet in the Crusades, next in the revival of letters, ! arte, commerce, and republican governments. For two centuries Italy was the centre and home of civilization. She successively produced the | gathers ef all the arts. Dante, Boecio, and Pe- trarch gave language and literature; Raphael, painting ; Michael Angelo, sculpture ; Gallileo, as- tronomy ; Julius I! , war, and Machiavelli, politics; while Columbus and Vespucius gave commerce to the world. Next rose the noble art of music, and until within a short time all the great masters and | queens of song issued from Italy. But gradually the intellectual erapire of Italy has been undermined, Shekepeare and Milton, Newton and Bacon, in England ; Goethe, Schiller, Mozart, Mendels- schn, Humboldt, Ozerbeck, and a host of othera, in Germany ; Thorwaldsen, Rubens, Van Dyck, | Holbein, and others, in Denmark and Holland ; Nepoleon, in France—finally won the laurels from ltaly, overturned the system of thinking and the | standerd of civilization, and lannched Europe and | the world upon the ropid stream of modern pro- grees. Gradually, for five hundred years, the tide has been moving towards the northera pole. It has reached | St. Petersburg, which is now the capital of the | | most colossal empire on the globe. It has waked up Sweden and Norway, and made their mountain cliffs echo to the most wonderful etrains of music that ever greeted human ears. Ole Bull has | | Jeft ail former models far behind him; Miss | Bremer has written books of a new kind of | liwrature, not knewn before to mankind; and, last of all, comes Jenny Lind, before whose mugicel light every luminary in the musical heaven sinks into shade. Jeany Lind isa great ertist, but a greater woman than almost anybody yet supposes. All feel her power, all go mad who ece her, and they cannot explain the eecret of her influence. It is new—it belonge to the new aorth- ern civilization just as much as the magnetic tele- gteph does, and in ite ephere will put forth as great an influence upon mankind. It is electrie— it belongs to the new age-it has no affinity for What has gone before. She ts hereelf one of the great civilizers of mankind—one of those few great and gifted intellecte, who, like Columbus, Dante, Raphael, Galiileo, lead on the whole human race by penetretivg the dark future and filling it with light. Jenny koows and feels her missioa. She came to this country willingly, gladly—her | heart was with America and its people, and aot | with the eged, decaying, eflete monarchies of | Evrepe. There isa future for this continent, be- presses. She says she never sang before as rhe | does now, and never could. Iu fact, she fiads thie new, virgin, free, advancing country, vastacas and progress enough to correspond with the | | grandeur of her own conception of the diviae art | of music. { This i# Jenny Lind’s character, as it is now | being developed, and this, we are persuaded, is | the secret of that omnipotent sway with which she | controle the hearts, the judgments, and imagina- tions of men. Her intluence will be tenfold greater bere than in Europe, for the Americans | cam conceive ideas and execute them with greater rapidity than any other peeple. They fiad, in the new songstress, something more than a night- ingale—for this was all Europe could see in her. The Americans cannot look back—they cangot | stand still—on, on, for good or evil, aad im ac- celerated motion, they oust aad will go. Jenny | Lind comes upon our dianed and tired ears like the dream of a great American port (if we bad one) | of the future—of what this continent will be ina hundred years; there are the elements of poetry, the fascination of art, the moral magartiam of the chastest purity, end, above all, the electric thrill of future progress. She hos come among as like | Miriam, the prophetess, to the Hebrews on the shores of the Red Sea, pointing them to their fo- ture empire. We wich to thank Mr. Barnum for what he hae doue in this important movement. Tom Thumb and the woolly horee were too +! .w couches for lim. He is ope of our men for the fature.

Hoe, of this city, he expreas- ed his surprise that native Americans were such proficients in the construction of machinery, but his wonder was still more excited, when he received the information that Mr. Hoe had been applied to to set up a press in Paris. Amin Bey had deemed Paris to be the centre of mechanical skill, and could scarcely credit the fact that Americans could teach the Parisians anything in the way of machinery. On Saturday, this distinguished naval commander visited the ship yards of Messrs. Lawrence and Sneden, and of Messrs. Westervelt and Mackey, Two steamships were launched—the North Ame- rica and the Matamoras. The ambassador was launched in the latter, and, while the vessel floated jn the East River, he took great interest in ex- amining the ehips om the stocks and lying at the docks. Some of these he examined very closely, and has since surveyed the iron works in that neighborhood. The people received him with great delight on all these occasioas, and the pro- prictors of the various places visited extended to him every hospitality, for which he expressed his thanks. The advances made by us in ship build- ing, and in the construction of steamships, struck him very forcibly, and he inquired the names of the most distinguished builders. The Collins’ line steamers attracted much of his notice—ihe Bal- and Arctic exciting much curiosity. On Sun- day, he visited the Croton Water Works, and was much interested in the High Bridge, as the Sultan proposes to introduce water into Constantinople, by a similar process. Wherever Amin Bey goes, he eyinces extraor- dinary intelligence, and shows himself to be emi- nently practical, and therefore well calculated to carry out the desires of the Sultan, Abdul Medjid. He will soon visit Washington, where he will pre- sent his credentials, and then proceed with hie in- vestigations in the various cities of the Union. Coneressionat Procespings—Tue RemainpEn oF THE Skssion.—Some time since, both houses of Con- grees passed a resolution declaring that they would adjourn on the thirtieth day ofthis month. Only a fortnight, therefore, ef the session remains, withia which time there is a great deal of buginess to be | done that loudly calls for attention and legislation. | There is the reduction of postage, a reform which is much wanted, and which is loudly ealled for by the public of all parties ; there is the question of establishing # mint in the city of New York ; there is the bill for extending our lines of steam commu- nication with the old world; there is the ques:ion of constructing a railroad and plank road to con- nect the Atlantic States with our oew territory on the Pacific ; end a variety of other questions which are essential to the promotion of the interests of the country, and which ought to be taken ia hand and disposed of at this session of Congress. We perceive that Col. Fremont has iatroduced several bills connected with California. This is all right and proper ; but the interests of the rest of the country ought to engage the attention of Con- grese, a6 well as thoee of that new State. It isim- poesible that all the measures proposed by Col. Fremont for the benefit of California can be pass- ed within the remaining portion of the session, no matter how desirable it may be to have it other- wise, as there is urgent necessity for attending to the wants of the other States of the confederacy. We allude eepecially to the urgency which exists inthe city of New York for the erection of a branch mint. A very large proportion of the gola of California is received at this port, and mach of it sent to England for coinage; and what is seat to Philadelphia entails great delay and ineonvenieace upon the senders. This should not be 80. This city is the commercial metropolis of the whole coun- try; and it has become an absolute necessity for us to have a breach mint. We trust that the New York delegation in Congress will exert themselves to supply our wants in this respect. If an imperative necessity does not exist for the conetruction of a railroad to connect the Atlantic States with our territory on the Pacific, it will soon exist, and the work must eventually be done. A plank road might amewer all purposes for the prevent; but @ railroad must be constructed, to supply o ready and quick communication between those distant points. Our relations with the republic of Hayti require some attention, or our commerce with it will soon be aestroyed. The numerous insults and anaoy- ances to which our citizens have of late been sub- jected by the Emperor's officials ought to be re- dressed. There is a variety «f other business con- nected with the interests of the whole country, which ought to be attended to before the adjourn ment, end aemuch ought to be done within the limited period that yet remains as possible. At any rate, nota moment should be lost of the re- mainder of the session. Aa hour now is of more consequence than a day was previous to the rero- lution fixing the adjournment. The members know how much time they have, and how much business they bave to transect within it. Let them, if necessary, have evening sessions, bat no long speeches for Buncombe or any other purpose. The public have had enough of them. Arrroacn or THE Dancina Season.—We have ‘had the seasons of fowere, of fruits, of exeur- sions, end of summer tours, and now the merry season of dancing is about to commence. By the advertising journals, we find from thirty to fifty teachers of the art of Terpsichore addressing the hopping public, on the advantages to be derived from taking leseone early in the season. Among the most distinguished of these, are several who presented by the Chief Engineer of the Fire De- partment egainet the city goverament, were not ia attenderce yeeterday at the time appointed for the | investigation to commence. This is a very carious proceding on the part ef the fire committer, and we de not koow how to account for it. Two of the Comanon Council commitica were m a@en- | dance; but neither Zophar Mille, President of the Fire Deparunent, nor George 8. Hope, Viee Prapi- dent, nor Joba P.

Among these, we notice that Madame St. James, formerly the cetebrated Mile. Augusta, invites the people of fiehion to yearn new dances of her at No. 67 Walker street; and the bist of new dances which ehe appears to be introducing includes the most fashionable etepe and figures known in the courts of Burope. M'tie. Gioces, too, bas leit the theatre, for this new field years. Besides, those in authority ought to pay some respect to his high office in the British pro- vinces. Farewnit To Amxnica.—There is e book about to be published, which will contain some six or seven hundred Welcomes to America. It will, no doubt, be a curiosity of literature; but we have heard very little of Farewells to America. We publish one in our columns, to-day, written by Lady Emmeline Stuart Wortley, which is full of beautiful sentimentand pathos. It is a credit to the fair writer’s heart, as well as pen. Lady Wortley is the daughter of the present Duke of Rutland, and widow of the late Mr. Stuart Wort- ley, son of the late Lord Wharncliff’ She has been travelling for health aad pleasure through this country, Mexico, Canada, &c. Jenny Lind’s Concerte—The Rehearsal Yes- terday—The Concert To-Night, Yesterday, at eleven o’elock in the forenoon, the re- bearral of Mademoiselle Jonny Lind’s third coucert took place, in the Castle Gard: ‘The parquette was half filled with spectators, jh the great song- otress was evidently anno; She eaid she came to sing at a rehearsal, and not at s concert. When she learned the cause, she laughed and took it all in good part. A number of persons, we understand, fount thelr way Im by prerenting old fiddies and other musi- cal instruments, as if they belonged to the band; which, with a host of invaders in boats, who got in at the rear, and s too great liberality in giving or- dere, produced an srsemblage that would have been atolerably large one in a smaller room. This is to be remedied in future, and the iosuing of orders Is to De limited to the press anda yery few others. It is unfeir to all parties coneerned, The performances are imperfeot; the band eounde too loadly in an empty room, and fauits are committed which are rectified at the concert iteelf. Persons thus ceprive themevives of much enjoyment by going to rehearsals, It is unreay sonable, moreover, to expect an artist, who is to sing next day, in so large a room as that, and to 8,000 Peteous, to put forth all her power, as she would at the concert; ard if she does not do so, her singing will be set dowm as comparatively tame. Mademoiselle Lind, at fret, almost refused to sing at all, but with her urval good nature and amiable disposition, she consented. be did not, however, in any ene song, exert ber power, except in two or three passages, She wore black watered #ilk dress, 8 dark shawl, and was very plainly dressed. She sat most of the thme, and wore ber bonnet while she was ringing. In the Qui le Voce trom she put forth so | ittle of ber wonderful power, that it wasonly here and | there you could resegniee the great artist. In “Noa | Paventar.or the ‘Magis flute,” from Mozart, she stood up sod gave the audience euch @ “taste of her quali- ty"—sueh an antepast of thin evening's banquet, as Was sufficient to excite the appetite which grows by whet it feeds vpom.
