Summary of the Latest Intelligence. Althorgh both houses of Congress were pretty busy yesterday, there was very little real business transected by either ; and now that the session is so mear the close, we do not look for any but the Appro- priation bills being passed. [t may happen, as has been the case cn previous occasions, that during the last twenty-four hours of the session, a great | emowat of business will be hurried through. A | bill wes introduced into the Senate recently, giving patentees in the United States a remedy against the introduction of art manufactured under their wventions, and imported into the United States. According \o all accounts, American pa- tentees have been injured very much im this way No sooner would one of our citizens take out @ patest for a useful invention, than some pirates would adopt his invention, cross the border into Canada, ond manufacture to any extent, and send | wach manufactures into the United States, and wnderseil the rightful owner of the patent in his own market. It was to stop this piracy that this bill wes passed, and no‘one, certainly,can find fault with it. We hope the House will be able to con- cer in its adoption before the adjournmeat. The Senate did another good work yesterday in passing the navy pension bill. The bill provides for a retired list for decayed naval officers, so as to Jeave room for promotion to the juniors. We have Meqnently advocated this measure, and ardently Wish that it may become 4 law On « debate 1 introduced for the purpose ef aiding Louiriana in reclaiming overtlowed lands im that State, Mr. Seward, of this Srate, took the opportunity of giving in his adhesion to the vote- yourself-a- farm movement. lle made a long speech on the subject, and, of course without reference to any private views of his own, advocated the right of every man to « portion of the soil. Abolitionism being in bed odor about these deys, he hes fasten- ed on enother of the tems of the day, for the pur pose of keeping himself at the surface of the troubled waters of politics. He iseo well known that the public will duly epprec: his purpose in identifying himeelf with this measure The Houee was engaged yesterday with the army appropriation bill The sbolition s's of Boston seem determined to cap the climax of their infumy. They have com- menced surts in the name of the fugitive slave Sha. | drach, against all who were engaged in arresting him, for aseault and battery and falee imprisonment. Well, be it so; but the tebles may be turned on them before long. It may be the case that they will have to incur the penalty which their lawless conduct entitles (hem to, by spending a potrion ef their mieerable existence within the walls of a priv gon, or be shot down, as they deserve, by the troope | of the State or general government, We regret to learn that there has been another dreadful steamboat explosion on the Mississippis opposite St Louis, and that the major part of a town in Tennessee has been destroyed by an earthquake In addition to news from all sections of the Americen continent, our readers will find, under the telegraphic head, some her European intel- ligener, brought by the steamship Eurepa The Slavery Question—The Fugitive Law— Elements of Kenewed Agitation, roceedings of the President, and the ex- Cited discussion in the Senate at Washington, in reference to the late negro riot at Boston, will, no donbt, revive, to some extent, the agitation of the slavery question | hout the country. It is very evident that the success of the late adjust ment—the restoration cf peace, and the confidence of the South in North ern promises—nay, the integ- rity of the Constitution and the Union—depend upon the exact and faithful execution of the Fugi- | Of all the compromise bills, the | gation in behalf of i} nab | | tive Slave law only one conceding a direct ob b the South, ie this bill tical benefits must | nc cessarily be confined to the slave-holding States | bordering the North. But the act hasa far more | important application. {t involves, mest distinctly, the good faith of the North um fulfilling their | solemn obligations to the South, as signed and seal. | e4 in the federal compact. This is the testof the Fugitive act. The consequences simply involve | the existence or destruction of the Union. Now, then, what are the signs of the times! That the mase of the people, North and South, are | content with the slavery adjustment, no observing | men wiil, we preeume, venture to deny. North and South, the body of the people—the honest, Unior—-loving bone and sinew, bloed and musele of the country —are satisfied, and only desire repose and a restoration of good fee If, in the vari- ous elections tranepiring, and yet to come, in the different States, this sound and law-abiding masy of the people could be brought to operate to- gether, all the attempts of all the factions of agi- | tatore, pullifiers, ultras and secessionists, North | th, to revive discord snd foment existing | into an open rupture, would be ridicu- Jous and contemptible. They would be matter of amusement, and could soon be ndiculed into silence. But it so happens that the conservatives among the people belong to the remains of the | late whig and demoeretic partics; and that in | the several attempts made to unite them, old party | prejudices and eld party expectations Lave thus | far defeated the scheme. The democratic leaders at Washington have thrown cold water on the project, under the belief that their party can be re- organ: ot galvanized in some way, 80 as to se- cure the grand sweepstakes of 1952. Their amon with the whige would involve the giving up by the democrats of the epoile; and upon that stumbling- stone the only sure and effective scheme for sup- preesing the agitator has tumbled to the ground. The Union men are divided, and they will no, evalerce. The free soi! and nullification faction in f Yi | officers of the law and | New York will see to it thet their own State does | mountain fas'nesses on the west, the Navajoes | that fall in their way ease of recapture, succersful or unsuccessful, af- fords ma’erials for egitat'on. The impulse given to it by thy Boston mob of negroes and abolitionists will be followed up by the nullifiers; and the affair is already appropriated in the South, in support of the ccuse of cecessic n. We have, however, an interval of nine months to the re-assembling of Congress. Within that interval numerous elections, State and Congres- sional, will take place in all sections of the Union. They will undoubtedly contribute ma‘erially to the ehaping of public opinion on the slavery question. Cotemporeneously, the eff-ct of the secession movements in South Carolina, Mississippi, and some other Southern States, will probably be de- veloped. Important operations in finance, com- merce, and diplomacy, during the iaterregnum, may also be anticipated, necessarily leading to new doctrines ard new measures, upon those subjects, for the coming campaign. The acquisition of Cu- be, and of Lower California, and of the country between the Rio Grande and the Sierra Medre,may be brought into the canvass, to say nothing of Ceneda, free farms, free trade, and an extended scheme of A rican colonization. But independently of these elements, the agita- tion of the Fugitive Slave law in the North; and | of Southern rights, par excellemge, in the South, promises to keep alive and in active mischief all the factions of egitation on both sides of Mason nd Dixon’s line. There is every reason, then, to believe that efter having fuiled to organize a great | ratione! Union party, the Washington politiciins will #lso fail to rally the South to their respec- large quantity of ice in the neighborhood. We would suggest the propriety of masters of vessels noting accurately in their reports, upon the blanks we furnish them, th pearance of ice, or signs of it, proximity, upon every occasion, it would form s very useful and important guide fo COMPLIMENTARY.

Every case of rescue cr resistance under the fugitive aw, strengthens this calculation; and the anxiety of certain presidential candidates, betrayed in the Senate debate on ‘he Boston affair, is doubtless due to this epprehension. Their hostility to fur- ther agitetion, looks, we suspect, to the effect up- on the national party conventions of 1852, as | much es to “the restoration of peace to this dis- tracted country.” The debate in the Senate on the President's messoge, indicates clearly enough that the ultras of of the South and the nullifiers of the North intend to make the Fugitive Slave law the theme of coa- tinued asgitation—that its operation will be suls- cient to keep these faetions alive till the opening of | the grand campaign, when the introductioa of @ | b number of sectional issues will very likely acrease | the list of candidates from two 0 half & dozen. | In the meantime, the prospect of a great Union | party vanishes into thin air.

The court would cheerful y aceede to this wish, coming as it did from the jury, and withdraw the re- striction. Mr. Smith availed himself of this license, and pro- ceeded to sum up, occupying the whole of the firs: sitting. At the conclusion of his speech, at 2 o'clock, the court took # recess for haif an hour, AFTERNOON SESSION.

There were sales of the old stock this afternoon at 100 19 percent. This is equal to for the consolidated.
