The steamship Atientic, Captain West, is now im ber ceventeen’h day. This isa long passage, even for this season of the year. There were no @counts of her at Halifax at five o'clock ye sterday afternoon. Summary of Inteiligence, Both houees of Congress, yesterday, were busily ergag: d with a variety of business. In the Senate, the paicat laws, the slavery question, the tariff, military land warraats, French spoliations, and the distribution of the public lauds, were all discussed; and in the House, Whitney's railroad scheme, Mr. Chandler's resolution respecting silver coin, the re- pealof the Fugitive Slave bill, and other matters, were touched upon. Decidedly the most important subject of the day was the motionef Mr. McLanahan, of Pennsyl- vania, to suspend the rules in order to offer a reso- jution thet it is imexpedient and improper to repeal the Fugitive Mave law, passed at the last session The vote to suspend the rules was taken amid a great deal of excitement; and although the result was thet the rules were not suspended, there was a ¥ote in favor of doing so, of one hundred and tweaty- three to eighty-four, showing conclusively that the eompromise measures cannot be disturbed, and | ‘that it is useless for the ant very demagogues to further agitate the matter. This result is highly gratifying, for it shows that the House of Repre- sentative are sound on the subject, by a majority that is perfectly safe. We wonder what will be the neat move of this faction. Three petitions, praying for the repegl of the same law, were presented in the Senate by Mr. Cooper, of Pennsylvania. 1a presenting them, that gentleman took occasion to say, that while he con- sidered it his duty to bring them before that body, he believed the great mass of the people of his State were satisfied with the settlement made at the last session, and desired to carry out the com- promise measures in good faith. This was very commendable in Mr. Cooper. On the whole, there as ne doubt of the agitators aad fanatics being pu down. We learn, by telegraph, that Mr. Wm. Hughes, the gentleman who made himseff eo conspicuous recently, in attempting to recover Crafis, the fugi- tive slave, from Boston, was killed recently, by a brother of the owner of Crafis. We have no par- ticulars of the matter, further than that s quarrel eccurred between the parties on political matters, which resulted in the death of Mr. Iughea. We have received a despatch from St. Louis, to the effect that there is yet some probability of the re-election of Col. Beaton to the United States Senate. This we consider impoamble ; although, as we are informed, there were sixteen ballotiags without effecting a choice, we do not think it pos- sible that Mr. Lenton can be re-elected Nothing of importance was done in the State Legislature yesterday Both branches, however, have apparently commenced work ia earaest Whe Presidentios Contest—The Condits Parties. According to all accounts, it would appear that the prospect of organizing a Union political party, or and of nominating candidates for the Presidene on the basis of the Union end the constitution movement, an! io opposition to Northern fanati ciem on the one band, and Southern ultraism on the other, is rather slim—if, indeed, the project has not been entirely abendoned. Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster, and other leading | uioa & smen ia Washington, have discountenanced it, and prefer that the two hould re.ain their distinct and ancient tic and nto convention, as hereto- the nomination of own candidates This decisioa throw ‘ f as back nto the position which they oecupied before the Union ement % odertakea—w they stand, each on own bo lookiag € y ahead, and endeavor to avail elf of any con tingency that 6 r.

The public will not soon forget their policy at a critical time, and until there are signs of their sincere repentence, they will have nething to do with them. So much for the two regular parties, and now for the irregulare. The abolitionists will, as usual, hold a national convention, and nominate a candi- date of theirown. The order to do so has been issued by Gerrit Smith. It is pessible the South- ern ultras will nominate @ candidate, but it is not probable Notwithstanding the position of Gov- ervor Quitman and the Legislature of Mississippi, | there is good reason for believing the people of that | State, like those of Georgia, are satisfied with the compromise measures, and will not join in any scheme of secession or disuaion as long as the fugitive slave law is adhered to—not that they have any interest in the carrying out of the measures for the escape of slaves, from their being very rare, but they look upon its fulfilment by the North, asa pledge that their rights will not be infringed upoa. South Carolina, therefore, is the only State in the Union in favor of secession. She will retain the position which she has always held. Conspicuous among the statesmen who are thought of as candidates, standg, tall and erect, the Hon. Henry Clay—a man whose patriotism is of the highest order, and whose integrity is above suspicion. To him the republie owes a debt of gratitude which itcan never discharge. The bene- fits which he has conferred upon it are above price, and no office in the gift of the people could elevate him one inch, Yet it would be desirable to make He has grown gray in the service of his country, and in the ordinary course of nature cannot survive many years more. What a pleasing spectacie it would be to see a great nation like this evincing its gratitude to one of its patriots, by electing him, in the decline of his life, to the high- est office in its gift. itis possible to do so. Party | asperity, which, on former occasions, prevented his election, has, in a great measure, subsided; and | were he nominated again, we are satisfied that | thousands of men, who hated his very name yeare ago, would vote for him with alacrity. It is not improbable that Henry Clay will be the next Presi- dent of the United States. Sneaxine Arrempt To Nutury tng Fvaertive Suave Law.—The bill introduced into the Assem- bly of this State on Friday ‘ast is nothing but a sneaking attempt to evade, if not to nullify, the Fu- gitive Slave law passed durin» the last session of Congress. A ci py of it will be oued.n our co lumns to-da. It provides :/at any person who | shall arrest, or attempt to arrest, a free citizen of | this State, shall be dee ved ouiity of kidoapping, | and on conviction sha | be i prisoned for a term not exceejing ten years; that any person who shall have openly and publicly resided in the State for one year shall be deemed a ‘ree citizen of this | State untii the concrary is proved; that oa the trial | of any :ndictment found under the act, no warrant, | process, or certificate issued by any courtor officer, and no exparte affidavit, deposition or record, shall | be admitted as evidence to establish the right to arrest, or to prove h-t such person was not a free citizen of this State within the meaning of the act, | The last sect.on jrovides that the proposed bill | shall not refer to persons charged with treason, fe- | | lony or ether crime, or to persons employed ia the army or navy of the United States, The purport of this bill is plain, although there is an attempt made to disguise its meaning. It is | aeneeking, undeynand, and ccntempuble effort to | nullify the Fugitive Slave law. If sucn an act | were passed, it would be of no avail. Every | officer and judge in the State, who took an oath, on entering upon his duties, to obey the constitu- tion of the Umted States, would be bound to dis- obey it, unless he beheved in the higher law doc- trine ; end then he would be guilty of perjury. In addition to this, the Supreme Court of the United | States would decide at once that it was unconsti- tutional. The demagogue who introduced it knew | this as well aswe do. But what does he care, | provided he can make a little capital from it? We | have but one word to say in reference to this mat- | ter. If this law should be by any chance passed, and be upheld by force, the State of New York | will be out of the Union. We may talk as much as we like about South Carolina secession ; but if | the Legislature of this State pass this bill, it will Capitals of Kurepe. Havana has long been celebrated for the principal citizens. No city of the New World seems to have cultivated to the same extent the graces and charms of the refined and elegant cit cles of Europe. Connected, from the period of its discovery, with the throne of Spam, and governed for the most part by nobles and military chiefs, who were sent trom the Spanish court, it is natura] that Havana, the capital, and residence of the Viceroys and Governors, :hould have bor- rowed, as she has done, the spirit of the court so- her merchants, and luxury and taste abounded to such an extent that the society of Havana has always reminded us 0. the sumptuous salons of the European capitals. In the United States, the spimt of money | meking, speculation, and utility, pervades the whole body of society. Leisure is the pursuit here of nobody. All classes must toil—work—specu- late--treffic. Wc alth, when it has been acquired, seems to add little to the embellishments of an American's home. He may, indeed, build him. self a costly house, end fill it with expensive furniture, and occasionally give a “‘ great party” — but there is about it all, a general ule, little more than a parade of money. The principal object seems to have been to show how maay dollars could be spent, and not how much taste, luxury and elegance could be secured. The house has little of the dignity of a gentleman’s private mansion. The rooms are pretty generally ar- ranged in the stereotype form of the season. Par lors, eighteen by twenty-two feet, and the houses, are about all alike. Little is expended on works of art worthy of the name. Very seldom is there a library for retirement or private conversation. A gallery or cabinet is quite rare. Parties are, gene- rally, no’sy jams; in which few persons of quiet elegant manners, and refined conversation, are | found. Instead of a large, spacious, and superbly decorated saloon, chastely and simply furnished, one finds the eternal folding doors, and two narrow, heated, crowded rooms, so cluttered up with car- pets, rugs, tables, rocking-chairs, stools, ottomans, &c. &c., that to move about with ease, grace, and convenience, is impossible. No one seems to fol- low his own native ideas of refinement, but inquires of others what “‘ so and +0” did, and said, and bought; and thus the fashion is set, and they go and do likewise. ‘We know there are exceptions to all this, and those exceptions are growing more common. We speak, however, of the rules ot our prevailing so- ciety. But there is a cifferent state of things in Havan There, men of wealth seem to think its chief value consists in enhancing the embellish- ments of polite life. The society of Europe has imparted its type to that of Havana; and the man- of the Old World are found to dictate the etiquette of Cuban society. The grand difference between the society of Eu- fact that in the old world every man 1s secure of his ttanding, and is ambitious of nothing more. Nothing can rob him of the prestige of his fa- mily name; and even if he loses his tortune, he has the renomance of his ancestry to fall back on. In this country—where, in spite of all our democracy, ble-stones—they act as though they were never sure of their positions. Mr. 8 afraid to speak to Mr. B. for fear he, Mr. A., will lose his position; whereas, in old countries, where a gentleman can repose on family name, pictures, heraldry, achieve- ments, or his own cultivation of manners or per- sonal accomplishments, he feels that he stands upon a firm structure of solid masonry, and castel lated turrets, and without a compromise of his dig nity he can reach down his hand and lift up a man of merit who stands below him, without sliding from his foundation himself. There was, perhaps,visible in Paris, before the revolution of 1848, the most perfect ideal of elegant society that the world has seen. The court soirées ters, and literary and artistic personages, and bank- the wit, the grace, the elegance, and the high breeding of the continent. What it may be now, be practical secession, for it will be violating the consttiution end the laws passed under it.

But they will gradually retura. The flight of Pius 1X. from Rome, and the inva- sion of the French, destroyed, for some time, the equilibrium of Italian society. Even Torlomea, and other wealthy bankers and nobles in Rome, with- drew from the excitements, exposures, and solici- | tudes of fashionable society; and even after tha | return of Pius 1X., it was some time before society reverted back to its former channels. But, in all these respects, the city of Havana seems to have been fortunately exempted from egitations and disturbance. With the exception of the temporary tlurry which the landing of Lopez ind his land pirates at Cardenas produced in Cuba, nothing has occurred to interrupt the gaiety of so- ciety. This wiater, the carnival has opened with unusual brilliancy at Havana.
