Summary of the Latest Intelligence. ‘The returns of the special election in twelve of the Senate districts of this State, held yesterday, although but few have come to hand, indicate the euccess of the friends of the Canal Enlargement in three or more of the doubtful districts, whch will be enough to enable the whigs to carry this project through the Legislature. We learn by telegraph that the Board of Com- missioners for the adjustment of land titles in Cali- fornia, has been completed under the bill passed et the last session of Congress, and that they will soon organize. This will be good news to the peo- ple of California. We doubt, however, if the decisions of the Commissioners will be satisfactory, for in a majority of instances, no doubt, they wil] met meet the approval of the rival claimants. ‘We also learn that Mr. Webster has arrived at Albany, and will make a speech to the people of that on the topies ofthe day, this afternoon. From Halifax, we have some additional European | eommercial and shipping intelligence brought by | the Canada, whove mails will be due in the city to- merrow morsing. Mr. Webster's Speech—W ho Is Inconsistent ! | The Hom. Daniel Webster, Secretary of State, | has announced bis intention to deliver a speech | to-day in Albany, on the topics of the day, and to give bis opinion on the slavery agitation, and the course pursued by the free soil and abo- Jition fanatics, who have kept the country in | het water and confusion worse confounded for | some years past. His speech at Buffalo was one of | hie best efforts, and will no doubt produce a good effect on Western New York, a region tha: is be- | nighted on the subject of slavery. It is not often ; that the domain of Seward, Weed & Co. is invaded by @ statesman of Mr. Webster's ability; but when | it ls, the orator leaves his mark behind, in the re- action in men’s opinions which he produces. So @eompletely have the people of the rural districts Deen carried y on the subject of slavery, that ; ‘we have no doubt Mr. Webster's warning to them, that the institution of slavery, as i: exists, was grarantied to the South by the constitution, and that those whe make war on it are in reality th: Secessionists and disunionists, will do a great @eal of good. This was no doubt news to many, who, under cover of the higher law doctrine, con- tidered themselves at liberty to deny to the South their constitutional rights, while they exacted ther own | Our Fourierite cotemporary, the Tribune, con- ' tinues its attacks on Mr. Webster's Buffalo speech, and is laboring very hard to show that Mr. Web- ster is inconsistent—that he does not entertain tho opinions on the slavery question now, which he did a few years since. Well, what of that! We ad ire the sentiments expressed by Mr. Webster in bis last speech at’ Buffalo; but we admit, at the same time, that they are different from those which he formerly entertained on the same subject. But what of that! Suppose he has changed—we admit be has changed—have not the North generally changed? Would it have been possible to recover a fugitive slave Massachusetts, or any otber part of New I or even from New York, a yoar or two ye No, because public opinion was much different then from what itis now. When the public mind of the North was carried away on this slavery eub- | fect, there were but few prominent statesmen who did not bend to the blast, and there was not 4 single white.

The election of the representatives from the Pre Smee Second, Fourth, and Seventh districts, was the | first that was held under the new plurality law—a law which it was necessary to pass, if Massachu- setts desired her representation to be complete, for, under the old system it was evident no election could be expected. It would appear that in the United States Senate, Massachusetts has one whig and one free soiler, and in the House, sevenregular whigs, two free soil whigs, and one free soil demo, crat. Well, if Massachusetts is content, we do not see that any person can complain. Tue Wan rw Karrrania.—According to the last accounts from England, it appears that the in- telligence from the seat of war in Kaffraria was very unsatisfactory, and that Sir Henry Smith, the commander of the forces there, was obliged to forego anything like a comprehensive military scheme, for want of a sufficient force. Five hundred | troops were on their way to Kaffraria; but, even with this addition, we doubt very much if he will be able todo anything. We would not be at all surprised if this warfare with the Kaffirs should require an immense expenditure of money, and a great sacrifice of life, before it is ended. The Kaffirs are a fierce and warlike people, who will not lay down their arms until half of them are annihilated. The probability is, therefore, that the British government will find in them an enemy not to be despised; and if the Kaffirs give less trouble and cause less expense than the Florida Indians did to the United States, the people of England may be very thankful. We cannot sympathize with England in this new misfortune. Her ambition has been to make conquest in every part of the world, and she has invariably treated those whom she has subdued— especially if they were savage or half savage— worse than the Spartans treated their helots. She has invariably treated those of this character whom she conquered, as the early Spaniards did the Indians of America, by first taking their land, and afterwards making slaves of them. Nor do we think she will meet with sympathy from any civil- ized people. She has no business in Kaffraria at all; but, as she determined to colonize there, and deal unjustly towards the natives, she may get out of the difficulty as best she can.

There was no right acquired by that act the right is acquired by becoming and continuing within its pale.

Did they them’ No, Did they write them! No. were told that if they worked they should have their share; but, in the meantime, the profits belonged to their em- ployer. Mr. Choate continued to contend that the con- tinuance of membership was i ly necessary for a participation in the firm, and that the General Confe- rence had no right to divide the church without the sanction of the Annual Conference. He submitted that the plaintiffs had established no legal or equitable right, and he could not believe that they had been le hi separation by. any act of the defendants. ‘The General Conference did all they could for them. and the plaintiffs knew very well that every step they took they took under the act of the Annual Conference, and that they ran the Tisk of every unfavorable judgment. In conclusion, the honowable and learned gentleman said that he did not church for North and South. He felt that the law of the case was with the defendants. He felt. also, that a deci- sion to that effect would do something towards bringing its household faith. Mr. Choate, whose recent indisposition appeared to have weakened him very much, was quite exhausted at the termination of his addrees. He spoke four hours and a half on Monday, and upwards of two hours to-day. Mr. George Wood then rose and said :—80 much time has been already occupied in the investigation of this case. and the evidence has been so fully and ably sifted, that I think it would be a waste of time in the closing counsel peguy se much more of the attention of the Court. I shall, therefore, endeavor to condense in as narrow aspace ax I possibly can, my observations, and £0 fully developed before the Court. It is important that we should understand, at the threshold of the proceed- ings, what the precise issue is. The plaintiffs claim a proportion of this fund. corresponding with the number of those who have gone off with the church South, and they have brought this suit for that proportion of the pro- perty. There has been an actaal separation, and the question is, whether this separation entitles them toa rateable proportion of the property which belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church, and that is the important question which presests itself in this eause, The con} subject should be preserved pure from legal dispute, it is a religious subject, because the rising generation lose in a great measure their respect for religion, when they see the heads of the church quarrelling. We have seen | such results, and I venture to say the Methodist Episcopal church will soon discover it by sad experience. This church is co-extensive with the territorial limits of the country; it is the largest in this country; it has been the precursorg of rel gion; it hax gone’on with its extension and earried gion along vettlement to the borders of our coun- try. A concernof this kind may be said to be a national | concern, And whem it is admitted on all hands that se- rious dangers threaten the unity of this government, it is all important that such @ controversy should be justed, and it is sincerely to be regretted that it sly risen—it is extremely to be regretted th been brought into a court of justice, when there was every probability that it would have been ad- justed; but they have thought it proper to bring their suit, and we, the defendants here, are bound to meet They have brought their claims on grounds h Llook upon as extremely fallacious; they » the ease of a division, that they have a right to a rat able proportion of the funds, ‘This seems to me to be exceedingly erroneous view of the subject. The Mays- ville case has been referred to; but I trust I shall to show that the principle upon whieh that case wi justed_ was unfounded. 4 charitable use is a public | use. It is called charity, beeause in every Chris- | tian country it is hased upon a charitable founda- tion. First. there are the founders of the charity—those | who create its fund; there are next the trustees—those who hold the jlegal estate in trust; then, the managers, the beneficiaries among whom the charity is distributed, Now, as to the management of the charity, let me refer the court to 7th Vesey's Reports. There héneficiaries have, in this case, no vested right, and gave no power to alienate. They cannot dispove of this property.

The Boston stock market is firm, but rather inactive at present; the tendency of prices, however, is tpward, and the prevailing impression appeate to be that a de~ cided advance will be realized before the lapse of many weeks; particularly in those railroad stocks which aro now selling so much below the par.
