" New Vork, Sunday, September 29, 1850, ‘Telegraphic Summary—Passage of Nume- reus Bills in Congress—Exciting Scenes, As the time appointed for the adjournment of Congress draws near, the excitement in Washing- fon, as usual in such cases, becomes great, and both houses get through with the business before them at railroad speed. In consequence of the sterm on Friday evening, the telegraph was de- vanged, and we were unable to give, on Saturday, the whole of the Congressional proceedings of that day. In this morning’s Herald the conclusion of them, and also, an account of the business trans- acted yesterday, will be found under the regular telegraphic head. The Senate have been engaged principally with the discussion of the Naval Appropriation bill, to which severel amendments were offered, and which was passed yesterday. We are pleased to wee that, after a hard fight, the opponents of the abolition of flogging in the navy were defeated, and that the proviso introduced by the Ilouee into the Naval Appropriation bill, for that purpose, has been concurred in by the Senate. It was full time for that degrading punishment to be abolished. ur seamen can now hold up their heads as men, and have no fear of having the cat and colt ap- plied to their backe, as @ punishment. The Senate, on Friday, passed the Fortification bill, and receded from their position on the Bouaty Land bill, extending its benefite to marines, eaptains, and sailgrs, who fought in former wars, and to all soldiers who have fought, and have not heretofore been provided for. The bill, therefore, only wants the signature of the President to be alaw. The House was very industrious yesterday and the day before. They paseed the Senate bill estab- Pehing collection districts ia California, and the bili extending the judicial system of the United come 5 to amy part of the Conti ant, to Pere. ee EE TERE by Sah, Jar salnorigtions, ty sth edvertiog, | either in epeed or beauty of construction. Teammeny.” So the democracy are at last united, and very lively. In gratitude, they will elect some one of the Herald's reporters a member of the next General Committee, that the proceedings may be regularly given in its columns. New System ef Ocean Steamships—Ia tro- duction of Steam Propellers, The New York Herald ie the only paper which has drawn the attention of shipowners to the neces- sity of adopting the steam propeller in their various emigrant ships. Av far as the present lines of packet ships are concerned, as sailing vessels they cannot be excelled (especially those recently constructed, ) The fame of American ships for extraordinary spee4, is still not only undiminished, but increased, by every new addition; but, notwithstanding this, there must be at al) times great uncertainty attending their ar- rival and departure, owing to their entire depend- ence on the elements. This can only be obviated by substituting steam in place of the present propelling power. By the general adoption of steam, a great loss of time, and, consequently, money also, will be saved, and the health «nd general comfort of the passengers materially improved. Meters. Spofford & Tileston, the eminent ship. owners of South street, have a vessel now building which meets every requirement. In concluding to construct such a vessel, they appear to have been guided more by the claims of humanity than the wish to acquire either fame or fortune. They have determined to adopt an entirely new arrangement with regard to the steerage passengers, which we hope will be universally adopted, as it most emi- nently desqgpes to be. “Instead of allowing the steerage meri as is now the custom in every emigrant ship, to supply their own food, they intend to furnish them from the ship’s stores, with good and wholesome provisions during the voyage. By this plan, every passenger will be ensured a suffi- cient quantity of food, of a wholesome description, the want of which has been the cause of so much sickness sud death in our emigrant vessels. Such an arrangement, when generally adopted, will en- tirely prevent the landing amongst us of emi- grants suffering from the want of proper nutri- ment, and carrying the seeds of a fatal disease into the heart of our cities, in the shape of ship- fever, and spreading death and desolation around. The advantage to the emigrant, by the adoptioa of this plan, will be immense, not only in comfort and cleanliness, but in a pecuniary sense; and the various disagreeables attending the preparation and cooking of their own provisions in a crowded vessel will be entirely obviated. The Pioneer(which is the name Mesers. Spofford & Tileston have con- cluded to give their vessel,) will possess capacities for carrying out the excellent idea of her owners to an extraordinary extent. She will rate two thousand tons, and will be fitted up with every convenience for the comfort and accommodation of allon board, that science can invent. It is esti- mated that she will carry two thousand seven hundred tons, drawing twenty and a half feet of water, and will be built in the very best manner, of locust, live oak and cedar. Her fastenings will be thorough, with five kelsons running fore and aft. Her engines are building at the West Point Foundry, under the inspection of E. Copeland, Esq., and will be excelled by none in this or any other country. The cylinders are eighty-five inches in diameter, with a five foot stroke, the whole resting on a solid foundation of at least fifty inches in depth. Her owners feel assured of her making the passage between Liverpool and New States to that new State, and the Indian Appro- Priation ball. We regret to heer that a collision oceurred be- ‘tween Senators Foote and Fremont on Friday, but we rejoice to learn that an understanding and adjustment eubsequently took place between them. It appears that both houses have agreed to an extension of the Capitol, and that the work will be done under the direction of the President. Our readers will find in another column a long Hist of confirmations of various eppointments Mhroughout the country, and embracing almost every class of office holders, from judges dowa to Vide waiters, ‘Tur Syracuse Coxvention—A Reovtar Row. —After the Syracuse Whig State Convention passed a resolution endorsing the course pursued by Wm. H. Seward, in the Senate, during the pre- gent session of Congress, en the slavery question, the President of the convention—the Hon. Francis Grapger—made a speech in which he dissented from the resolutions, and then resigned his seat, and wseceded from the convention, followed by the sec- retaries and forty delegates. They proceeded to Rust's Hotel and organized a meeting, at which the Hon. Francis Granger was President and Epenetus Crosby, of Dutchess eounty, Vice-Presi- deat; Wm. H. Vanderbilt, of Richmond county, and T. J. Chatfield, of Tioga county, were Secre- taries. A committee of five were appointed to draft en address and resolutions for the suppert of the whige of the State, and a yesolution passed order- ng the proceedings to be published. We shall lay the address and resolutions before our readers te- morrow or next day Seward, Weed, Greeley & Co., have at length maceereded in producing a eplit and division in the whig ranks, We saw that such a etate of things was inevitable, unless those disorganisers were formally repudiated. The result is exactly what we anticipated, and marked out on several occa- gions. The seceding members, we learn, resolved tw hold a convention on the 17th of October, in Syracuse, and recommend primary elections to be held throughout the State. We shall see how this attempt to convert the whigs of the North into ® great sectional, black abolition party, will end. Tar Troveres mw Tamuaxt Browine Oven.— ‘The exposure in Friday's Herald, of the fact that the democratic State ticket had been laid upon the table in secret session of the General Commit- tee at Tammany Hall, cansed great commotion in the ranks of “the party” throughout the city, eepe- @ia)ly im the democratic wards. In consequence, the meeting of the General Committee that even- ing, was more fully attended than any since its sleetion. At one time, nearly 60 out of the 57 members were in attendance. The delegates from ‘the 4th, Hith, 18th and 14th wards, all heavily de- meecratic, not one of whom wan present when the Meket was laid upoa the table, attended in solid body, vociferous for its exdorseme: The outside Meeling was very strong. The committee wae {iret eocupied in disevesing how the Herald got the pewe—a point upon which the members who veted ‘to bey the ticket on the table were moet anxious, ‘bet as to which they can save themselves further wouble. Between 10 and 11 o'clock, Mr. Shepard, who eGered the resolutions endorsing the ticket, moved to take it up. Upon the vote being taken, the ultra Bunkers were beaten, 2 to 16. From enquiries among the members, we gather that the yeas and mays were as follows, though one of two names many be wrongly given: TVars— (to take the ticket of of the table)—D. jorence Moor ir, Jobe Tilley, D @ 8. Halst , M 4. A. D. Renton, 20. Of those who voted at the former meeting to lay oo the table, Messrs, Edward C. Weet, Dame! Hi Hunt, Joseph M. M. Marsh, James J.

Jackson, and John Quin, were either absent or not voting Finding themselves utterly ronted, the ultras gave | wp, and the resolution, ater being turned into « stronger codoreement of the ticket, was adopted without further opposition, acm. com. The result fe, that the publications ia the craid had the efiect of erushing the opposition to the ticket in the bad, and securing ite unanimous endorsement ia “Old 7 ©. Willett, Hiram | York easily in sixteen days. She will be com- manded by Captain Eldridge, late of the packet ship Roscius, a gentleman intimately known as a thorough commander by all in the habit of voy- aging between this port and Liverpool. Such a veseel will be a most excellent model for the various passenger propellers now in course of constraction. The idea of furnishing steerage passengers with food at a cheap rate, will no doubt be warmly approved of by that class of emigrants; and we would suggest the propriety of its adoption in every line. As we have before observed, if shipowners wish to retain the patronage they have for so many years enjoyed, they must prepare to adopt these kind of vessels. In a few months the Cunard pro- pellers will be in operation, and also the New York and Philadelphia lines; and it is not to be supposed that apy one would hesitate a moment to cheore between a voyage of from thirty to forty deys and one of sixteca, at the farthest, especially if the latter could be obtained, with the addition of food, for a trifling advance on the rate of passage money now demanded. Independent of the Pioneer, and another line of two propellers, of 2,000 tons each, about being built in this city, there are two of the same dimen- sions to be built in Philadelphia as soon as possible, | and all to run to Liverpool. A line of three pro- pellers is also to be established between Baltimore and Charleston, and Wilmington, N. C., at an anticipated expense of $120,000. We understand Messrs. Kingsland & Co , of this city, for years engaged in the Liverpool trade, are having a large ship built at Portsmouth, N. H., of over 2,000 tons burthen, clipper built, and of suffi- cient strength to enable them to tura her into a propeller, if necessary. There can be no doubt of the necessity of such a change, and the above firm would save money, in more ways than one, by making a propeller of her at once. We would suggest to other parties in New Or- leans and Philadelphia, who contemplate running steamers between those cities and Lurope, whether it would not be advisable to construct propellers. The emigration from Lurepe to those cities is im- menee, and the expense of keeping the latter class of veesels afloat is not to be compared to the cost of paddle steamers, besides affording 80 much mare room for freight and passengers.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT aT THE STEAMSHIP WHARF, FOOT OF CANAL STREET. One Man Killed, and Five or Six Seriously Wounded. MIRACULOUS BSCAFPHS. The Detention ef the Steamship Pacific, &ec. &e. &e Wo regret to inform our readers that » very painful acoldemt osonrred at noon, yesterday, on the starting of the steamship Pacific, As soon as her wheels were set in motion, the guards to the wheel houses in some way got foul of the posts of an unfinished shed oo: nected with a building, which was recently erected for the purpose of covering the whole plier, and carried them away, causing the fall of a great portion of the roof. A large number of persons were underneath the roof at the time, eonsisting of the friends of the passengers who were about leaving in that steamship, and hundreds of others, whe were pre- sent for the purpose of witnessing the sailing of the vessel. As soon as possible the headway of the steam- ship was stopped when the eollision was noticed, but not in time to avert the catastrophe. Binee writing the above, we have learmed that the way in which the accident occurred was as follows :—Punctually at noom the ship was started, stern foremost, she having laid bow in. The tide was running up at the time, and @ stroag wind was blowing from the westward. The wind and the tide combined, b: ht her stern as close as possible to the doek, and the guards of the wheel- house got in contact with the posts of the shed, as above stated. The crash was not very sudden, but rather gradual, thus allowing people a few seconds to get out of the way. When they saw that the shed must inevitably fall, many persons, with great pre- sence of mind, rushed on board a canal boat which was lying at the end of the pier. Ap it {s, but ene maa was killed—Mr Jobn Wilson, an elderly gentleman, about forty-five years of age. The um- fortunate man was crushed to death by one of the heavy.eross beams—a stick of timber, some eighteen inches in thickness. It is @ wonder that there was not more damage; for ander the part of the shed which fell, there were at least four hundred persons, many having run to that end of the dock as soon as the Pacific was putin motion. Several persons were thrown overboard by the rush, all of whom, it is believed, were saved. A gentleman’ present, when he saw those persons in the water, divested himself of bis outer garments jumped into the river for the purpose of saving them; and sorry we are, for the sake of humanity, to be obliged to say that, while he was opgaged in this work of charity, at the peril of his own life, his wateh was stolen by some heartless scoundrel present. He succeeded in reseuing Colonel Walker, of Milwaukie, now stopping at the Astor Houre, and who, but for this noble tellow’s exertions. would, perhaps, have been drowned. We take plea- sure in publishing the name of this gallant fellow. It is W. C. Connell, he resides at No. 213 ayenus B. In addition to losing his watch, which was worth $50, he lost his coat and his pantaloons. After saving Col. Walker, the same brave fellow jumped in twice, and rescued two others who were struggling in the water. We trust that Mr. Connell, who is » hard working pilot, will be at least indemnified for the loss of his watch and part of his elotbing. If any one should have the former, it isto be hoped he will restore it immediately. It is am English lever, and marked No. 2,221. The remains of Mr. Wilson were taken tothe Fifth ward station house, where an inquest was held over them yesterday evening. As roon as the aceident occurred, the ship was de- tained, for the purpose of ascertaining if any of the friends of the passengers on board were injured, and also for repairing a1 age that ehe might have fustained. As soon as due attention had been paidto id the body of Mr. Wilson removed, it was found that some of her buckets were somewhat injured. It was, therefore, deemed advisable to repair them, and to Getain the Pacific for that purpose till six o’sloek this Mornlug, at which Lowe ahe will sail for Liverpool. We have not learned that biame can be ettached to anyone. The sccident was one of those providential dispensations, whieh no human foresight eould avert Nothing of the kind is likely to again oceur, nor, in all probability, would the accident of yesterday have taken place. if the shed had been Onished, which would have been done long since, but that the builders were waiting for the dock to settle, The work will be com- meneed forthwith, and every arrangement made to prevent the possibUity of any other accident—es fa, as buman means ean prevent it. Mr. John Wilson, of Watt street, who was killed, was about forty-five years of age; » man of rare abilities, end of very fine feelings. He was brother of Mr. Wil- son, the Deputy Clerk of the Boerd of Aldermen, and had left the heme of an aged mother but « tew hours and the skull was alse broken in by the falling tim- bers. He was standing at the extreme end of the previous. The body presented a mutilated spectacle, whart at the time of the accident. On being extricated he was conveyed to the Leonard street station house. Daring the remainder of the day, the flags of the Pacific wore at half-mast,on account of the death of Mr, Wileon, In the course of the atternoon, Coroner Geer held a inquest on the body of Mr. Wilson. The following ver- diet was found :—‘That the deceased eame to his death by injuries received by the falling of the pier shed, foot of Canal street, caused by the wheel-house ofthe steamship Pacifie coming in contact with the said shed’ It is alleged that the cause and sircnm, stances attending the loss of life will be further in- | vestigated. E. K. Collins, Beq., agent of the steamship, particu” larly informed the Coroner that all funeral expenses, medioal bills for the relief of the injured parties, and all other necessary expenditures, would be paid by the company. ‘The names of the injured, as far as we have been able to ascertain, are as follows — John McCormick, aged thirty-eight years, born in Treland—left thigh broken, and some internal injary. Wo hopes of his recovery. Bent to City Hospital. Patriek Melntee, aged thirty-five years, born in Ire. land, store keeper at Collaberg, on the North river— ribs broken, and otherwise internally injured. Doubt. ful of his recovery.

This man was knocked down by the side of Mr. Witson, and the beam of wood which erushed Wilson fell seross Donald, leaving just epece enough to silow him to ex. tricate himself from his perilous position. Mr. John Gardiner. merehant, of this city, was badly injured internally, and was conveyed to the residence of Dr. Pratt, his physician, in Liberty street.

Marine ‘TWH WEW HAVRE CTEAMSHIP FRANKLIN—HER TRIAL TRIP, ETC Ae we briefly amnouneed in the Hereld om Thureday, this splendid steamer made a trial of her merits as @ sea steamer, with the Asia, on Wednesday last, but the particulers of the contest were not given, which we now proceed to describe. ‘The Franklin left the Novelty Works at half-past 11 o'clock, and ran down to the Quarantine, where she took eep, in order to allow the Asia to go out first, pasting the latter about a quarter of a mile astern. Bhe then followed closely in the Asia's wake, as far as the bar, in the interim erossing her stern several times, a course rendered necessary by the method adopted im steering the Asia. When the two vessels reached the bar, they were in such close proximity as to enable features to be plainly visible from each vessel with the naked eye, At the bar the Asis stopped to diseharge her pilot, and the Franklin passed to the South. It is the honest opimion of those on board the Franklin, that bad the contest been continued short time longer, the Asia would have been left behind, and that it was only by the mancuvreing in steering adopted by the latter, that enabled her to retain her position in advance. The fact was noticed from the deck of the California steamer Pacific, (elso op a trial trip at the time,) that the Asia was “ bothering” the Franklin by her manceuyres, thus producing the im- Pression—and apparently a eorrect one—that there ‘was a disinclination on the part of the Asia to fairly test her power of speed with the Franklin. But if this system had not been adopted, and the Franklin had come out of the contest on equal terms with her rival, it would have been a result that the warmest friends of the latter could not have been otherwise than de- lighted, considering the disadvantage she had to con- temd with, the stiffness that always attends the first working of machinery, and in the fact, thet the Asia is the crack boat of the Cunard line, and has never been Deatenexcept by the Collins steamers, The Franklin ran from the point of the Hook to the Narrows, s dis- tance of thirteen and a half miles, in fifty-two minutes, without being pressed. The trip was pronounced by the engineers and ‘builders on board to be one of the most successful tests ever made by a steamer of her sise and power, and was perfectly satisfactory to all concerned. She had 990 tons of eoal on board, and a great portion of her provisions, drawing seventeen feet, probably two fest less than the Asia, and earried from twelve to thirteen Ibs. ot steam, her revolutions varying from thirteen to sixteen. ‘The Franklin's registered tonnage is 2.195 tons; she is 26334 feet long, is 42 feet wide, aud her depth of hold 26 feet. Her fleor is fiat. Her bow has an easy flare, carried up with @ buoyant rpring, which gives her « most dashing appearance. A full figure of Franklin, Desutifully executed, adds much dignity to the bow. Her stern is considered by every builder who has seen her, to bes master-piece of naval architecture, the formation of her ends making her appear uncommonly sharp. The eompletencss and beauty of the work mansbip expended upon her,and the enormous strength and weight of her timbers and fastenings, have been the admiration sf ali who have had the pleasure of a full inspection of her. Her engines also, are masterpieces of workmanship, being fitted up in a style and carelessness of eost,in keeping with the general construction of the vessel. They are two marine side lever engines, with two 93 {ach eylinders of eight fect stroke; wheels 83 fest in diameter, with 113, feet face. The effective power of the engines, when in operation, is 1,200 horse, nominal power about 800. ‘The vessel is heated throughout with steam flues, supplied by an independent boiler, which serves alse | to work the pumps and two steam elevators used for raising the ashes from the farnace rooms. The advan- tage of heating the eabins from s source independent of the main boilers, would be sensibly felt in the event of an sceldent reducing the vessel to the necessity of depending upon her sails, The quantity of fuel re- quired for the miniature furnace under this supple mentary boiler, is so small as to require but a very small space for stowag: The cabin arrangem: are cimilar to those of the Cunard steamers; the dining saloon on deck, only dif- fering from them in being carried through to the stern windows, thus giving it more length. The after part of the saloon is chastely decorated with two large mirrors, and four enamelled paintings of scones taken from the life of Benjamin Franklim, and e small library surrounds the rudder easing. The eeiling and sides are of oak, with bronze mouldings, the panelt emmamented with bronse ornaments ef fruits and flowers. The arrangements of the lewet saloons end sleeping cabins, are similar to those of the Cunard steamers, the berths being in-board instead ef agains the aide of the vessel. There isan ornament intended fer the paddle-boxes, Dut not yet placed om board, deserving of particular notiee and which, we thiak, will attract attemtion and eemmand general admiration. Kach paddie-box will be ornamented with acireular bas relief representing the guardian angel of Franklin, seated, holding his bust in one hand, and the other peinted to the light- ning attracted to s rod on an edifies im the corner; and at ite feet lies broken sceptre and crown, the whole surrounded by the celebrated legend—“ Eripuit ful- men cale sceptrumgue tyrannis.”” This neat and elegant Piece of art isthe work of Mr. Char.

Wotton, s gentleman for many | years cngagedas commander of Havre packets, We | Dave no doubt as to the entire enocess of this line, and the company are entitled to much credit for their en- terprise. We fully anticipate the Franklin's trips willequal any that have ever been made across the Atlantic, for she possesses within her every clement to secomplish suche result, and Capt. Wotton is not the | man to allew them to sleep. Bhe will touch at Cowes | each way, thus affording great facility for persone de- | glrous of visiting England, as well -es the continent of Europe.

The besri- pest of the atmorphere, ond the construction of the hall for sueh exhibitions, were obstacles ageinet which none but the great songstress herself soul have successfully contended. Her reception, though it would have been called cold in New York, was yet. quite enthusiastic for o Boston audience; and, as they were warmed up by the exhibition of her unequalled powers, the plaudits continued to increase, till, at the close of the “Boho Song,” the hall rang with continued cheering, The morning papers speak im high terms ef her performanes.

That paper says :— The various eesnys, by every class of critios In Eurepe ang Ameries, failed wholly to prepare those who reg them for Jenny Lind’s singing. It would be idle to add another oriticism te theirs. The expres- sion which belongs to the music springs frem the evident interest she takes im it herself; the sweet- mees and fulness, compass power of her voice, enable her to give to each word and note its full mean- ing, without any effert as she sings, There is, there‘ fore, 2 completeness in her music which forbids the selection of any one passage as more impressive and charming than another” There was a great erowd eround the Temple during the entire performance, notwithstanding the severe storm.

The auetion, to-day, for tickets for the next eoncert. was most exciting. The Tremont Temple was filled: with people, and no single seats were sold till clever o’elock. They sold in slips or blocks of about tem seats each, and after that from one slip to tem slips, or from ten seats to one hundred. ‘The first slip was sold to Pirsson, at eight dollare anda half per seat; next, sixty seate, at eight dollars each; and then the price ruled from seven and a half down to six and « half dollars. The average, at clever o’cloek, was seven dollars. The first eholce, of one slip to ten olips, was sold at six dollars and seventy- five cents, and the secend at six dollars and twenty- five cents, whioh is the lowest price, as yet. The Re- vere House and Tremont House purchased most of the first choices. ‘There will be a grand display of frewerks, and @- serenade, to-night.
