We mentioned the main features of th when it was introduced The subject of Mr. Winthrop’s gest as Senator from Massachi when the credentials of Mr. Rantoul as his successor were presented, but Mr. Rantoul not aring to take his seat, was discussed, but without aay conclu- gion having been arrived at. The matter was laid on the table a‘ter some deba‘e. It is contended that the fact of the Legislature Massachusetts having elected a Senator to fill Mr. Winthrop’s place, he having been appointed Senator by the Governer during the recess of the Legislature, disqualifies that gentleman from remaining in his seat after the credentials of his successor were pre- gented to the Senate. On the otrer hand, i: is ar- gved that the election of Mr. Winthrop’s successor is not complete,on the ground, that, to make it’com- plete, Mr. Rantoul should have sigaitied his inten- tion to fill Mr. Wintbrop’s place. The questioa is @ nice one, and, if we are not much mistaken, this ie the first time that it has been brought forward We regret that the Senate concluded to lay the snbject on the table, asa decision would establish @ precedent, which would be valuable hereafter in case of the recurrence of such cases. The House of Representatives were engaged, yesterday, priacipally with the bill establishing a Board of Accounts. The House adjourned, without ceming to any conclusion. zht to hold hig ‘The Condition and Prospects of Kurope. Two years and upwards nave elapsed since the French people, in a moment of excitement, and with- ut concert or premeditation, struck 8 y, in the city of Paris. During that time the spirit which then turst the bonds with which absolutism and kingly craft had encumbered it, directed its force againet almost every government in the Old World, with an impetuosity and a vigor that at one time promised their downfall. They shook and totiered before the assault, and several of them would have been annihilated but for concessions in fe of the rights of t masses, which were made by the rulers in th ent of their alarm Pot the storm spent its fury—tae revolutionary % expended its force—the new goverament of Freoce was false to its mission—abdsolutism survive @4 the shock, and the pe are once mor the feet of their oppressors. Such has been the result of the European revolutions of 184s. a great measure it mey be attributed to the socialists and re publicans of France, whi der the name of liberty, were determined to produce a state of anorchy in Franee, if they could. They wanted to have « government that would destroy all social or ation—which would be under the coatrol of thee: is's and sans culottes—and which would co. vert that great nation into a field of sleughter. The moderate and sensible people were alarmed at the prowpect before them in case of the escendency of such dieorganizers, and many, we have no doubt, who rejoiced at the downfall of Louis Phi wou!d have given half they possessed to him rod regime, six months after his f ‘The seme class of people, in other rie deterred from joining the revolutionary throngh the same fear, and the end was wi! might have been anticipated. It is a fair inferen ‘we think, that the Paris insurrection ia the month of June, 1847, destroyed for the time ali hope of Biberty being extended to the mames of the proyle of Europe. Dut revolutions never go backwards. Atthouch the public mind of Europe will be calm and quiet for several years to come, the spirit of liberty will not be extinct. It cannot be represeed; and it will again rise in ite rmght in the old world, and sweep verything before it. But it must be properly con- rolled aid dirce’ed. If allowed to run into so- cialiem and anarchy, it will again feil, and abso- utiem end tyranny will again triumph. In the meantime, the great power of the North will ase fits means to combat the progress of liberry, and to extend its influence over the nations that have not yet experienced it. Russia was the only gainer by he events of 1847 aod 1848; fer it took advantage of circumstances, and upset the balance of power in Europe, by making Austria ite vassal, depending pon it for existence, and having saved it from ex- inction. [tis approaching France rapidly, and no doubt has designs on both that country and Eng- gend. It threat these nations at this moment, and may, before the peop'e of Europe again wake up toa sense of their rights, have both as much within ite power as it has Austria. In euch case, the regeneration of Europe would be put back per- bape half a century What is the duty of the United States in this posit on of affairs in the Old World? We cannot, to be sure, directly interfere with them, but we may eventually be forced to take sides with England and France, or either of them, to re- sist any attempt by Russia to extend Cossack dominion over them. The United States could not look with uncencern on such a of things ; for if Russia succeeded in her designs on those nations, the United States would be the meat object of her attack. This may be looked upon as mere speculation; but the history of that country demonstrates that ite ambition is to extend ite sway over the whole world. Its progress has been remarkable and wonderful. Within com- paratively afew years, it has risen to an eminence which Peter the Great never dreamt of.

Biayk Battors ano THE ELection or SenaToR tm Ruope Istanp—We publish the following com- munication on the subject of blank ballots and the recent Senatorial election in Rhode Island, be- cause We are desisous to elicit opinions on a matter of great public importance, and not that we take any interest in the squabbles of political cliques | and parties in Rhode Island. In discussing the | question in the Herald of the 7th inst., whether | blank ballots ought to be counted in legislative } elections, we had not in view the interest of any | individual or politician, nor do we care whether | Gen. James's seat in}the United States Senate 1s, which an independent journal, like the Herald, H has over mere party organs, devoted to the inter- | ests of cliques and selfich individuals, in the deve- lopement mportant truths and principles | It is, therefore, of litile or no consequence,gin the matter in question, whether the seat of General | James in the Senate is disputed er not. We have said thet we supposed the election was confirmed by the oyster and champagne supper given by him, after his election, to men of all parties, | including Governor Anthony. Nor is it im- portant whether the communication in the P.o- | vidence paper, protesting against the exclu- sion of blank votes, and quoted in the Herald, | was written by ex-Governor Sprague, as we had ] syppesed, or by either of the other ex-Governors | | of Rhode Island, Kaight or Francis. It is a sin- cular fact, that these three gentlemen have been | Governors and United States Senators of Rhode Island, as the record shows, viz:—Nehemiah R. Knight, Governor from 1817 to 1821, and United States Senator from 121 to 1841; John Brown Frencis, Governor from 1533 to I States Senator for one term, 1814 45; William Sprague, Governor for one year, 1838-39, and | prague, , ’ If Governor | Pr#gey, who was Adjutant General in the Hunga- United States Senator, 1842 to 1845. Knight, as we have now reason to believe, is the | author of the communication referred to, in the Providence paper, it 13 entitled to even more | weight than f it had come from Gov. Sprague, a3 we had at first supposed, inasmuch as the former | by some of my has had the benefit of much greater experience then the latter as a statesman. Fortified as our own sion, expressed in the Herald of the 7th inst., is, by the decisions of the Copgress of the United States, by the action of several State Le- gislatures, and the opinions ot gome of the best legal minds of the present day, it is not likely to be shaken by the quibbles and sophistry of corres- s,in Rhode leland or elsewhere.

The amount shipped in 1800 exceeded four thousand tons, and that to be shipped during the present year will be sufficient to supply the whole congumption of copper in the United States, which is @ little over six thousand tons. The amount of ore which had been raised on the shores of Lake Superior up to December, \849, exe ceeded thirty-seven thousand tons. This ore will, in the opinion of competent judges, average twen- ty per cent stpare metal, so that even this amouut, if reduced and taken to market, would this very ear supply the United States. The copper ore hom the mines in Cornwall, in England, for thirty years past, has yielded but about eight per cent of pure metal. é There are now, including the two iron compa- nies on Carp River in the vicinity of the celebra- ted iron mountaims, tweaty-four organized compa- nies in active operation. Their mines have been purchased of the government, and they employ at this time eight hundred and thirty men. e iron companies referred to are prepared to melt and ship the coming season twenty-seven hundred tons of pig iron. uch is said of the superior quality of this new product of Michigan, its remarkable mal- leability peculiarly adapting it for boiler iron, wire and machinery_and even in its crude state, owing to this fact, it readily commands the highest mar- ket price in Piusburgh. i The fisheries of Lake Superior were established as leng ago as the the year 1830, by a company of enterprising adventurers, and the business was vigorously prosecuted up to and during the year 18i0, when, owing to the enormous expense of trensportation and re-shipmentat the Falls of Sault Ste Marie, the eaterprise, so far’as fishing above the falls was concerned, was reluctantly abandon- ed. The product of the fisheries in 1310, the year they were abandoned, was ten thousand barrels. Complete the canal around the falls and itis es- timated that from fifty thousand to seventy-five thousand berrels will be annually sent to market, and all the supplies, both for the su nee of fish, will be drawn from the overtlowing grauaries and well stocked warehouses of the lower penin- sula, where every article required in exchange for the produéts of Lake Superior can be found in the most luxuriant abundance.
