Three steamers will be due at this port withia two or three days, with later news from all parts of Europe, all parts of the Pacific, and all parts of the West India Islands. ‘The Asia will bring ad- vices from Liverpool to the 23d ult, three days luter; the Empire City and Georgia iatelligence from Sen Francisco to the Ist ult., eleven days later; Kingston, Jamaica, to the 2d or 3d inst, two weeks later; and Havana to the 3d, eleven or twelve days later. Latest Ne y Telegraph. But little wes done ia either House of Congress yesterday. The House, after appeinting a select committee to investigate and report on the means of carrying into prompt operation the bounty land bill, adjourned to Menday next, the Speaker, in the | mean time, being suthorized to appoint the standing commitiees In the Senate, the President’s mes- sage was referred to the appropriate committees, ona wt was crdered that itand the accompanying documents be priuted and bound in two volumes. The appeerance of Mr. Butler, Senator from South Carolina, shows that the report, which was | current a dav or two since, that the South Carolina delegation would not take their seats in Congress this session, wes unfounded. We are happy to see Srxamsuip Heena SLoman.—By the arrival of the | journals of this city made a tremendous demon- packet ship Devonshire, at this port, yesterday, we received intelhgence of the loss ef the propeller Helena Sloman, of the New York and Hamburgh line of packets. It appears that she received so much injury in a gale, that she became unmanage- able, and was sinking, when, providentially, the Devonshire hove in sight, and bore down to her relief. In transferring the Sloman’s passengers to the Devonshire, five of them, and four seamen belonging to the Devonshire, we are sorry to say, were lost. The Helena Sloman was an iron veseel, built in Hull, England, and was considered a good sea veesel. ‘With the exception of the steamships plying between New York and Bremen, and the Havre line, all the attempts made to connect the continent of Europe with the United States have been un- successful. It will be recollected that the British Queen, once commanded by the lamented Captain Roberts, was purchased for the purpose of running between Antwerp and New York, but that, after making two or three trips, which were anything but satisfactory, she was withdrawn. It will also be borne in mind that the ill-fated President was about to be purchased by the Belgian government, for the purpose of running in connection with the British Queen, and that she was lost on her trip to Liverpool. If no accident had occurred to her she was to have been delivered up to that government when she reached Liverpool. Another instance occurred, last summer, in a steamer also ealled the Lritish Queen, which made one voyage be- tween New York and Hamburgh. Oa her pas- sage to New York, she was compelled to put into Halifax, in distress. On her return to Europe, she was withdrawa from the service. Notwithstanding these misfortunes, however, the time is rapidly approaching when every mari- time city in Eurepe will be connected with the United States, by steamships, and we trust that this recent disaster will not deter the Hampurgh merchants from prosecuting \heir enterprise with new and more pewerful steamers. Tue Covnmr anp Exquirer any THE SLAVERY Aoiration.—The Courier and Enquirer of yester- day, in a long editorial article, headed ‘The Past end the Present,” innocently asks why is it that with the same distubring causes always operating upon our institutions, the past has been so much more quiet than the present? It then proceeds to answer the question, and says, ina like innocent manner, that without doubt, one of the great causes of the excitement of the day, arises from demagogues both at the North and the South, agita- ting the question of slavery from selfish aad po- liticel considerations. This is certainly very can- cid on the part of the Courter and Enquirer, and as true as it iscandid. There is nota particle of doubt that the present agitation has been produced by Northern and Southern demagogues; but we Mr. Butler in his seat as usual, and also Mr. Davis of Mississippi We lewrn, by telegraph, that the Texan Legis- | Jature heve accepted the boundary bill, and the ten millions of dollars, almost unanimously, there having been but ene vote in the Senate against it, and but five in the House. We had but little would simply ask our cotemporary, if it has not aided and assisted the demagogues of the North, in egitating this question, from selfish and political considerations? We have yet to learn that the Courver and Enquirer has taken any stand against the Sewards, the Weeds, the Greeleys, and other demegogues of this State, in their endeavors to doubt of the acceptance of that measure. Money, with States, as well as with individuals, exercises a very potent influence. We are this morning enabled to present a few addtional perticulars relative to the destructive tornado in Missouri. They do not, we are sorry to perceive, vary from the account of this truly heartrending ealamity, which was published ex- elusively in the Herald last Sunday. pacar al | The Report of the Postmaster Gencral— | Rederetvion of Postages, | We | ublisbed this important aild interesting docu- men! on Toerday. Tt contains many valuable sug- tions, some of which will form the basis of imme- d ste fotore regulations of that department of the government, which is directly coacerned with the social and « ercial interests of the people. | since Rowlend Hill, ia England, formed his cal- | evlations for the reduction of postage, and induced t Brite goverameot to try the experiment of jow rates for letters, the public mind in this coun- | try hos heen disposed to urge upon our government | the importance of making great modifications in the rates on lerters and oa newspapers. Some changes, accordingly, have taken place from time | to time in the Post Office Department, by which the people have been largely benefitted, while the reveuue derived under these liberal improvements | has suggested the practicability of still further re- | ductious The Poetmgster General now proposes a uni- | form rate of three cents for inland paid letters, and of five cents for unpaid letters, as introduc | tory to # further reduction, at no distant period, | if preeti able, to two cents—the amount paid oa a hel ounce letter in Great Britain. We have no doubtof the successful working of the depart- ment, under thie arrangement. With the intelli- gence and sori! and commercial intercourse in this country, we have every reason to believe that the reveune from letters at this rate of postage, sanding the geographical magnitude of the United States, would present as favorable figures, 0 to the expenditere, as now marks the in pre Be ith Post Office Departmeat In th rand periodical department of have had many r year, ond it is certainly de- adopt some equitable, just, and liberal that may be permanent.

We should also ask our cotemporary, whether Mr. Raymond, one of the editors of the Courter and Enquirer, has not made himself con- spicuous in fanning the embers of agitation, ever since he was sent to the Legislature, and whether he was not prominent in forcing through that body a series of violent abolition resolutions~and whether he has not been put forward by the Weed abolition influence, candidate for the Speaker of the Assembly of this State, at the session about to take place in Albany ? These are very pertinent inquiries at the present time, and if they cannot be answered satisfactori- ly, they show that some new light must have very recently illuminated the editorial cranium of the Cowie and Enquirer. Again, we would ask, is it consistent with love and attachment tothe Usion for the Courter and Enquirer to support a man in his onslaught on the Union, who declares his be- liefin a higher lew than the constitation, and who, if not stopped in the career which he and his asso- | ciates are running, would inevitably bring about, in time, a dissolution of the Union. We allude, of course, te the deragogue Seward, and his confréres Weed, Greeley & Co. Did the Courier and En- qwirer at eny time in a manly, bold and determined manner, come forth and denounce, m appropriate | terme, that clique of abolitionists and disorganizers, and endeavor to purge the whig party of their evil influence? It did not; bat by its silence counte- | nanced them in tacking abelitionism of the worst kind to the skirt of the whig party in New York. It is all very well to speak of the causes which have produced this agitation, but they were as evi- dent a year or two ago as they now are, and the demegogues who have made themselves conspicu- ous in their assaults on the institutions of the Southern States, were as busy then as they are now. Were it not that the independent press took the matter in hand, and denouaced those disturbers of the public peace, before the late election in this State end since, the power of those demagogues to do herm would not have been so much circum- scribed as it has been. Very little credit can be awerded to the party press in the good work, for the very organs of the demagogues whom the Courur and Enquirer censures, opposed all at- tempts at compromise during the last session, and ridiculed all the movemeuts that have recently teken place towards maintaining entire the Union and the constitution Important Letter rrom Genenat Jawrs Han mton.— Our readers will find in our columas, to- dey, & very important and interesting lever, writ- ten by General James Hamilton, to the people of Sourh Carolina, in relation to the attitude which that State has eseumed towards the republic, and in reference to the bills passed at the last sersion | of Congress generally known as the compromise measures. General Hamilton takes the gro that it would be highly impolitic for South Ca toteke any steps towards secession at present— thet there is not sufficient cause for her doing eo, and that, were ehe to attempt it, she could not de- pend upon the co-operation of any other Southera s We are very much of the same opiaion; and we perfectly agree with General Hamilt that it wou te end in disaster were she to rash int h a poor foundation as South Cato- Jn reference to the great battle for ‘sit must be fought ul- cisunion on suc lina now has the seenrity of slavery, he at the North 1 trae of the South will only keep ge the In this we coine and if the niet and thera fanat will man the idicate for the ith b on, we 8 ves.

America, received by the brig George. Now, the fact is, the brig George arrived two days previously, and all the intelli- | gence that she brought was published in the | Heratd, on Tueeday last. The purport of this ex- | traordinary news was that the Britsh were con- | tinuing the system of aggression which they have | been pursuing in Greytown, and on the Mosquito coast, for a long time past, notwithstanding the treaty recently entered into between the United States and England, by which the latter renounced | all her pretensions to a protectorate or anything else in that country. One of the same journals which made this great display about nothing, yes- terday retracted pretty much all they said on the subject. She truth of the matter is, the aggressions of the | British agents in Grevtown, and the annoyances to which American commerce and American inter- ests have been subjected to, were at the instiga- tion of the meddlesome Mr. Chatfield, and with- out any authority from the government which he represents, or rather misrepresents. However, there is an end of it now, as will be seen by the following announcement, recently made by the Nicaraguan Consul General in England :— Nicanacuan Consviate Gevenat, 24 Mark Lane, ? ‘Nov. 14, 1350.

WILLIAM SCHOLEY. The abolition of this tarifi is, without doubt, the first step by Great Britain towards fulfilling her part of the treaty lately entered into by the govern- ments of that country and the United States. Con- gate the matter,and see that the stipulations of that treaty are fulfilled. Tur Common Cownci. ann Four Dottars a Day.—It Would really seem that the main object of the members of the Common Council, now-a-days, isto get the four dollars which the members are allowed for each sitting. ‘lime after time they meet, chat together for a short time, and then ad- journ to meet again, when the same farce is enacted. This is a paltry and contemptible piece of business. It is nothing more or less than a petty larceny proceeding, unworthy of the fathers of the metropolis of the new world. Their proceedings are hardly worth publishing. American Literary Intelligence, The holiday season always leunches many a cratt on the literary rea, ‘There are various kinds of adven- turers— rome heavy tbhree-deckers, and some gay yachts, with streamers flying, and full of beauty.

New Youx.—The message of the President bas not met with the approval of the entire whig party im this Btate, and though some of its features are not openly denounced. s epirit of dissatisfaction is manifested among the abolition portion of that party, not likely soon to be healed. The Albany Journal, the oracle of the party, speaks of the ment, in genera) terms, as good, and such as have been expected, but cannet endorse the the President upom the peace measures passed by 8 That journal doesnvt think the message Senet aplielt uy the Fugitive Slave ‘Ubough it is ratirfied he favors that measure, expressed determination to bave ail the laws enforced, “y me more Re to that oe on = oe ny 2 journal eays the message roug! think it woule Lave been better if tbe.

The Albany .2¢/as, one of the most ultra of free soil Peper of the Btate, expresees ite grati geverel tevor ofthe message, but is putisfied with his course relative to the Fugitive lave The Syracuse Jnenal and Buffalo Express, speak in the same terms of the message as Coes the Alba: Jownal. The Albany Register, @ aper, as well as several iu the western par! , Standing upon natis round, express their irfaction with the whole tone of the message, mocratic journals have already said that it pointe to the next Presidency. Ou1o,—The late movement in the Constitutional Convention ef thie State, with regard tothe expulsion from the public schools, will create mt among the abolitionists of the State; and the refural of the convention to establish schools for their exclusive benefit will meet with strong opposition on the lake border of the State. The whcle northern, and much of the interior section of the State, is strongly tinctured with ebolitionism,and theuld the question be brought directly before the people, would doubtless be defested. There le a strong anitesied to resist the en‘orcement of jeveland, as weil avd asrerted their determination t slave to be taken trom their midst, tical nullificeti ever the lew is executed. The Cleveland Plaindealer hig! thore of Boston who interfered in the prevention of the arrest of the fugitives srom Georgia. and sh he people ot that rection wil: do likewise when the liberty of the fugitive is mvaded, Prnnsytvania,—There cap be no doubt but the mass of the people of this State are conservative im their views, though there are sections in whieh any attempt to execute the Fugitive Slave law would be repelled by force of arms., At Chester, already, a movement has been made, and a large number of signatures obtained to be presented to Congress, for the unconditional re- peal of the Fugitive Slavelayv. In the westers part of the State, the abolition feeling prevaile to a much greater extent than in the eastern, and the movement started and kept up by the political religionists, has spread through several of the churches of that portion of the Btate. The mesrege of the Prerident, eo far as we are advised, has met with very general apenas botiMwith the whig and democratic papers. The demo- cratic party stand upon the national platform. aud bave generally rtrongly advoeated the non-intervention principle. That is the doctrine advocated by the on. Jas, Buchanan, and his national course bas brought his name beloie the people of the State for the presidency in 1862. In the Congressional district now represented by Hon David Wilmot, the people are generally on the rice of the abolitionists, end they are about petition. ing Congress, not only for the repeal ot the Fugitive Blave law, but alse tor the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. Vinorsia.—This Btate, which, since the passage of the compremire measures by the last session of Congress, has said very little, either through the public journals or officials, begins now to speak out. The message of Gov. Floyd, which has met with a hearty response from every portion of the State from which we have heard: speaks decidedly and firmly, though temperately, of the courte to be purrued by Virginia should those y particular, be viclated. The Gover- nor intimates that the people of the State may be satisfied if all the Jaws are carried out in good faith; but if they are to be trampled upon and violated, and the only one at all favorable to the South is te be expecially disregarded, then it will be the duty of the State to take decided and unwavering ground with the ether Southern States.
