From Boston we learn that thirty witnesses have | been sworn on the side of Scott, charged with res- euing the alleged slave Shadrach, and that George | Thompson, member of the British Parliament, from | he Tower Hamlets, London, and notorious for his | political movements in England, has been engaged | at Boyleston Hall—the scene where many a moun- | tebank has before appeared—in denouncing the Colo- | Rigation Society of this country. His audience, | however, was meager, and the probability is that he will share the fate of other rampant abolition- ists, and become a mere object of ridicule. A re- ward has been offered in Beston for James MeNal- ly, who recently caused the death of Mr. Charles S. Smith. It is supposed that he has fled to this city. Our other telegraphic intelligence contains late and interesting news from Mexico, and the confirma. Omnipusszs veRsUS Rarroaps.—In every age | The Quakers—Their Yearly Meetings, Divi- and country selfish interests are found resisting im- provements for the use of the public. In municipal governments, such influences are ever at work, and have an injurious effect in retarding all undertak- ings tending to promote the general interests. Self- ishness is a degraded and corrupt passion, and generally does not hesitate to resort to degrading and ccrrupting means to compass its wishes and ends. New ferries for the accommodation of the public are opposed by the proprietors of old ones, and those whose stores are located in their vicinity. ‘The hackney coaches, a few years since, opposed | the establishment of the omnibus stages. Canal companies oppose railroads and plank roads, and railroads oppose canals, and so on. The sail-craft | people on our rivers abominated steamboats a few years ago, and said they scared all the fish out to sea, | and were dangerous, and would destroy all the | schooner and sloop trade, and throw those engaged | in it out of employment. The candle and oil people abuse gas, and it is so with everything. Selfishness will induce opposition to the best of improvements: A bran new exemplification of the operation of | this feeling is exhibited on the opposition made to | the extension of the railroad on the western side of this city, through the Sixth and Eighth avenues, and by West Broadway down to Barclay street. The measure is ably advocated in a very handsome | report made September 7, 1850, by a committee of the Board of Aldermen, consisting of Aldermen Britton, Chapman, and Dodge. We learn, however, | that the omnibus interest, which is powerful when | united, have resolved the project shall not be carried | out, and on the subject being recently again stirred in the board, it was referred to a select committee, | consisting of Aldermen Haws, Miller Conklin, Dela- , mater, and Kelly, instead of the former com- mittee. We trust this committee will report speedily. We do not profess to know much about | this matter, but it must not be stifled. It must be treated fairly, and the opposition of any rival interests, combined against it, is strong evidence that it is for the public benefit. It can only injure the omnibus interests by providing a cheaper and | more convenient mode of conveyance to the public than they do, and. if it can, it should be favored, despite the omyibus interests. As well might the shoemakers object to omnibuses because they save shoe leather, or the umbrella makers, because they allow citizens to dispense with umbrellas. We hope | the select committee will report forthwith. | Crose or THe Great Mernopist Cuvrcu Case— | Wuenre 1s rue Sesrrr or Cuaistiansry!—Th ear. | gument in this important case, which has occupied the attention of all parties of the country for some tion of the™statement that the Mexican author- ities have detained an American vessel containing supplies for the Boundary Surveying Commission. We also have late news from the Salt Lake, giving an account of the movements of the Mor- mons, and of some Indian tribes in the territory. | In the Canadian Parliament, the Governor Gene- ral has refused to produce the correspondence with the American government in relation to the reci- procity of trade; and it was recommended as the futare policy of the government to close the canal against American vessels, az an act of retaliation. Other items of intelligence will also be found under our telegraphic head Mr. Webster and the Treasonable Anti- Slavery Daring the progress which Mr. Webster resently made through the State of New York, we have watehed with some care the movements of Thurlow ‘Weed and the other anti-slavery disorganizers who follow his behests, for the purpose of seeing what course they would pursue, in order to meet the stitutional issue so forcibly presented by Mr. W., for the first time, in the western regions of this State. Mr. Seward sneaked into the cars at Goshen, and attempted to make a speech or two by the way; but he found be was in too deep water, and straddled out again as soon as he reached Denkirk. Thurlow Weed, the One-E, Thomp- son of the disunion anti-slavery gang of this State, ‘was no where to be found. Even his columns, during Mr. Webster's progress, have been silent, filled only with Greeley’s twaddling letters from London, or blazing away about the necessity of enlarging the canal. The first symptoms of the eontinued existence of the disunion One-Eyed Thompson, we find in his last issue. He says as Albany Evening Journal.) MR.

Thurlow Weed, how ever, and his organs, from their very silense, their tremblings, their sensitiveness, and their restless- ness, appear to be in a distresting quandary. We hope they may continue so. We hope that Mr Webster will continue the work which he has so nobly commenced—the popular agitation of the great constitutional principles established by Wash- ington, and which have been assailed by Seward, Van Buren, and other treavonable plotters against the rights of the South and the union of the repub- lie, in th northern regions Mr. Webster has already suffici the insults of the last Legislature of New York, in their own capital; and from the turrets of Buffalo and Albany, we have no doubt the impertinent Common Couneil of Boston, who shut the doors of Faneuil bial in his face, have felt how the wind was blowing, and will veer accordingly.

Dundas, the Chief Clerk now in W, years past, was brought to a close the day before | yesterday, by a very eloquent speech from the Hon: | Reverdy Johnson. It was argued on both sides | with a great deal of talent and legal acumen. ‘The Court delivered no opinion, but reserved the case for consideration. It, however, gave an opi- nion whieh is one of the most important that was ever delivered from the bench—an opinion that does the bench the highest honor—an opinion directed by the spirit of Christianity—a spirit which has | fled the Methodist Church, North and South, and taken refuge on the bench of the United States | Court. Judge Nelson advised the parties to adjust | the case among themselves, on principles of honesty, integrity, and good feeling, and save him the | troable of giving any further opinion. It is to be hoped the Methodist Church, North and South, will take the advice thus given. If they do not, we shall couceive that the spirit of Christianity has abandoned that Church, and that it will have to continue among the Judges of the Supreme Court, until the second coming of the Messiah shall be an- ounced by the trump of the archangel. Tue Ivestigarion into tue Hovoxen Rior.— The examination of the discharged prisoners at Bergen, and the investigation before the coroner's jury, at Hoboken, revealed some strange doings of the public authorities of the latter place, during the prevalence of the riot there, on Monday last. | ‘There appears to be nodoubt that Justice Browning authorized a number of the rowdies to act as special constables, and that they used that authority for roaltreating and arresting the innocent portion of the Germans indiscriminately. It was a most in- famous and disgraceful affair throughout. Where are these special constables! The proper autho- rities should offer a reward for the detection of those who were engaged in the work of assault and bloodshed. Are there no witnesses to expose those who fell upon harmless citizens, and after beating them, dragged the victims to prison? This affair nust be thoroughly investigated, and the guilty must be pall. We begin to see more clearly some of the causes which have led to this and other riots, and to the increase of rowdyism in this city and neighborhood for some years past. We are more and more con- vinced that the original wrong is in the political conduct of certain mea who pretend to respectubili- ty, and who employ and pay rowdics to beat re- epectable people from the primary meetings, and from the polls in election times. | Tue Way i wiicn THe v Ovrrice Derart- MENT 18s Conpvetey.—We have seen it stated, in several of the newspapers of the day, that it occupies —— hours to convey the mails between New York and Cincinnati, two most important commer- cial points, while merchandise and packages of every description are transmitted from one to the other | in forty-eight hours. This is certainly an anomaly in this age of steam, electricity, and speed of every ind, on land and on water. What a commentary on the fitness of Postmaster Hall General | the uation he fills.

We have heretofore noticed the yearly meetings in this city, the present week, of the two divisions of Qua- ers, or Friends, called Orthodox and Hicksite, There was ‘a large assemblage of both branches of this respectable sect, which has been distinguished not only in the annals of this eity and Philadelphia, but in those of other sec- tions of this country, from the earliest period of its settlement. The founder of the religious sect of Quakers, George Fox, who was born in 1624, and flourished in the times of the Stuarts and of the English Commonwealth, made a short visit to this country during his career a3 & preacher, and mentions this city and Long Island in his | journal, as parts of the scenes of his religious labors in 1672. The life of William Penn, and his connection with the history of this country, as the founder of the colony of Pennsylvania, are familiar to most readers. As # religious sect, the Quakers continued to flourish | in this country until the war of the Revolution, when their progress was somewhat checked by their connee- tion with England, and their opposition to that and all other wars. Many of them suffered persecution, imprison- ment, and other difficulties, on account of their sup- posed favor to the English during the revolutionary pe- | riod; but when the war was over, they were restored to their former rights and privileges. In the commercial cities of the United States, particularly in Philadelphia and New York, they became distinguished for their en- terprise, and as a society they rapidly advanced to wealth and influence. They were, and gre still, most prosperous in the Middle States. The Quakers continued & united society until the time of Elias Hicks, a noted preacher of the sect, who flour- ished in the first quarter of this century. He was a na- tire of Queens county, Long Island, and had a long career as 4 travelling amd resident preacher. Although ‘an uneducated man, he possessed clocutionary and con- versational powers of a high order, and attracted hosts of | admirers. He, perhaps, made more converts to the doc- { of his time in this country. In his advanced years, he became remarkably bold and startling in his style of preaching. and advanced doctrines and peculiar notions in his discourses, which drew upon him the attention of those who considered themselves as the true followers of George Fox and William Penn. Blias Hicks was accused of denying the divinity of Christ, the doctrine of the atonement, and the divine authosity of the Bible, as well as other matters of belief, clared to have been principles and doctrines which had | always been received as truths by the followers of Fox | About the year 1822, the controversy between the friends of Elias Hicks, and their opponents in the soc ty, became most animated and bitter, the principal scenes of contest between the two parties being at the Quaker meeting houses in New York and Philadelphia. The controversy was carried on with extreme asperity and violence in debate, and many who had been friends from their youth, beeame estranged from and hostile to each The present society in England was appealed to and counsel, and several English Friends, dis~ for advi came over to America to look inte matter, and en- Anna Brathwaite was among the most promi- | ds sent to the United States to endeavor to quench the flumes of discord and vassi : She came across the Atlantic in ¢ ay with the l Bishop Hobart, who was then on his return froma visit to | Europe. On comparing opinions on religion, Anna Brath- | | counsel, nent of these English Fri Wuite found that most of her views coincided with those of the Bishop, the main objections on her part being the forms of the Chureh of land. the ordivances of Bap- tism. and the Lord’s Supper, and aployment of “a hireling ministry” to preach the gospel. ‘This agreement | of views between Apna and the Bishop was reported among the Quakers, and added to the prejudices with which the followers of Elias Hicks were prepat ceive her. The preaching and counsels of this female preacher from England, did no good among those who vere devoted to the ministrations, and bad imbibed the doctrines, of the great Long Island preacher + and they | began to be denominated ~ Hicksites” by the! owes hers nents.

In this division, the Hicks ites were found to have a majority in New York city and Philadelphia ings in various other parts of the the Ortho- dox Friends formed a li society in | the United States.
