It will be im the recellection of our readers, that Res @hid Pacha, tho liberal minister of the Sultan, ‘was dismisred, owing, it was sup,osed, to the fear of absolutism and Russia, and the monaces of France, whose ruler has also become absolute, there being at the same time a difficulty with the Jatter country, in consequence of the Porte refusing to giveup to it the guardianship of the Holy So pulehre. The Sultan is liberally disposed; and as Jovg as he was sustained by England, he set Rus- sis and Austria at dofianco, in the case of Kossuth ‘and the Hungarian exiles. go much about the Sultan since hisrelease from cap- tivity—even boasting that the Ottoman would join him in the future meditated revolution in Hungary —that the Ruszian government became exasperated, and set its agents to work upon the fears of the Sultan; sad Lord Palmerston having resigned, he @id net feel secure in his position, and from a mo- mentary panic dismissed his minister, which was eonsidered as equivalent to a change from libe- val to despotiz pelicy. By the Africa’s nows we learn that the minieter ‘war restored in two days to the cabinet, and no @oubt the Turkish’ government have been aseured ef ample support from the new British Minister of Foreign Affairs. Tho son of Resshid Pacha is mar- ied to the Sultan’s daughter. it appears that an Insurrection had taken place in one of the depart- mente of France; bat it is not likely to amount to much. As a counterpoise to that, we learn that pome of the belgian regiments had shown a feeling hostile to their own government, and in favor of Louis Napoleon. The friends of intetnational copyright will be glad to know that it islikely soon to be established between this country and Eng- Mand. While moving for leave to introduce a bill to carry out the provisions of the copyright treaty with France, Mr. Labouchore stated that the bill would enable tho government to make similar offers to other countries, of which, no doubt, the United States will be the very first; and the @ey is not far distant when authors on both sides of the Atlantic will have fair remuneration for their works, wherever they are used; andjthe result will be that a bet‘er class of bocks will be given to the public, more originality will be developed, and in this country works by American authors wil! par- take more of the nationsl character,and be more “racy of the soil” than the poor imitations of English writers, which have hitherto usurped their Ce. The newe from California presenta nothing of an extraordinary character. John B. Weller has bsen elected to the Sonate of the United States for six years, a8 the successor of Col. Fremont, who was net a candidate for re-election. Mr. Weller is a democrat, and an ultra democrat, and his brief po Nitical career has been somewhat eventful. During the halcyon days of John Tyler, he was a member of Congress from Ohio. During the Mexican war he wae a Colonel of volunteer, attached to the army of Gen. Taylor. In 1518, ho ran as the demo- oratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, but’ was de- feated by a small whiz majority. Towards the cx- piring days of Mr. Polk's administration he was ap- pointed commissioner to run the Mexican boun @ary; but shortly after the advent of Gen. Taylor's administration he was dismissed by Mr. Ewing, Secretary of the Interior, charged as a defaulter, and Col. Fremont was appointed in his place. Wel- ler, however, refuted tho charge of defalcation, and set at once to work in California for the Sonate. He has at length enocecded, even over our active ‘and energetic New Yorker, Dave Broderick: and thus the act of Thomas Ewing, intended to disgrace a political enemy, has resulted in his promt tion. Such are the ups and downs of politicians. Welloris now up, and Ewing isdown. Asa statos- man, Mr. Weller will rask with Bright, of Indiana, Clemens, of Alabama, and others of that class; and frem his experience in civiland military affairs, he ought to be qualified for good ecrvice to the country im the Senate.

PARRA HIGHLY INTERESTING FROM WASHINGTON. Bumored Hostility to the fehuantepee Treaty, ly the Mexican Congress, PROCEEDINGS I N THE U. 8. SENATE. The Debate between Messrs. Rhett and Clemens, Ne Banger of an Affair of Honor, BUSINESS IN THE LEGISLATURE. Our special Washington correspondent furnishes It is ander tifled by the Mexican Congress, in which even there will undoubtedly be serious difficulty between that country and this. Im the meantime, lot us await the arrival of Colonel Mejia, who is said to be the bearer of despatches connected with this matter, from the Mexican government. The debats between Mesers Rhett and Clemens was renewed in the United States Senate yoster- day. In the course of the controversy, the former gentleman declared that he had not resorted to the pernicious mede of settling disputes by the pistol, for two reasons—the first of which was that he was a Christian and a member of the church, and that he feared the wrath of the Ruler of the Unirerse more than he did the disapprobation of mortal man. The second reason was, that hehadan object to fulfil on earth, which could not be accomplished by duel- ling. Thig is truly a praiseworthy acknowledg- ment, and is the more so for the reason that it comes from one who is the legal representative of the ‘* Southern chivalry,” among whom #0 many But’Kossuth has talked | melancholy “affairs of honor” have been enacted in days gone by. At the cenclusion of the debate, Mr. Gwin moved a postponement of the subject for two weeks, during which time it is hoped that the gentlemen from South Carolina and Alabama will become more cool, and agrce to let the matter drop. The noble steamship Baltic is said to attract universal attention and admiration, from the Sojourners at Washington. Thoy may well be proud of her. PrianeirHta Rivauzy.—The Philadelphians are in continual distress in their efforte to rival the city of New York. The fable of the frog and the ox illustrates their condition exactly. The Mint —a mere branch mini—proposed to be established in New York, first threw them intospasms. Tiey hays blustered and bullied about it, and have kept up a whole troop of lobby members at Washington to scare Congress out of it. And they are welcome to doit ifthey can. But when they oarry their ri- valry 0 far as to refaze to carry over their railroads goods purchased in New York, they are only spit- ting againt the wind. It will fly back in their faces. Other routes, the managera of which have the gift of common sense, willsupersede the Ponn- sylvania lines; and thus they will lose a trade which it is their plain policy to encourages. Tho frog cannot be inflated to the size of an ox. An inland fresh water town cannot compete with the growth, enterprise, and prosperity of this great metropolitan seaport. Now York has no rivale— no rivalry. She is the great commercigl capital of the continent; and Philadelphia must be content to play third fiddle. Next to New York, her enterprising daughter, San Francisco, is destined to lead the field. Philadelphia against New York ! A Schuylkill coal boat against a stoamehip. Just as absurd. Tre Two Forrests.--The rivalry between the two Forrests has been kept up duriag the last wook —one performing Paulino in the ‘‘ Lady of Lyons,” at Broughsm’s Lyceum; the other, ‘“‘Claudo Mel- notte,” in the same play, at the Broadway. Neither of them has succeeded very well in these characters, though thoy have playod to full houses; but it would be “worth any money” to see them both together in these parts on the same stage. Hy a strange perversity, both have chosen characters unsuited to them, when they have cach ‘“‘ample scope and verge enough” in a range of parts entirely different. Artists, however, do not always know their own Sorte, or knowing it, prefer another path, for sake of variety, or some other motive. Mrs. Forrest has been sick for the lass day or two; but she is to perform to-morrow evening as Beatrice, in Shak- epear’s “*Much Ado about Nothing.” The inte- rest excited about her success in this, is very con- siderable. Branam'’s Core with Catherine Hayes, is to give the first of a series of concerts to-morrow evening, in the Tabermacle, assisted by Madem Bonchelle, sister of Vincent Wallace the oom- poser, and a yecslist of very considerable ability.

PETITIONS FROM KEW YORKERS, Mr. Bewanp presented a resolution from the Legisla- ture of New York, in favor of a compendium of the cen- sus, Also # petition from 476 citizens of Niagara county, New York, against granting an extension of the Wood- worth patent. THE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN MFSSRS, RHETT AND CLEMENS, Mr. Ciemuns said that in one of the papers of this oity, it.was stated, this morning, that the Senate was disgraced by what took place yesterday. When the Senator from South Carolina announced his determination to mate an arrault, when he cpme prepared, and armed for carrying that aseault into execution, by reading all descriptions of accusations, eould any one be so unreasonvble as to suppose he should allowel all the waron his side? Had the Senator confined himself toa review of his political course, he would have uttered no term of harshness; but the Senater had attempted to defame him personaily—had sought out in a low and scurrilous newspaper in Alabama a charge against his private cha- racter, and had attempted to give {t dignity and impor- tance by retailing it here. When the Senator did this, he had treated him and his charge in the only manner feo fl deserved. Nothing else that the Senator said against him was new. It had already been said over and over again in Alabams. aud had there been refuted. It was not because he had been charged with the abandonment of State rights principles that called forth his remarks, but it was the attack upon his perronal integrity which demanded tho use of that langusge, which he never intended torecall. Mr. Clemens then proceeded te refute the ut tack made upon his political consistency, concerning the Com ise Acts, before and since their adoption. He had denied in debate on the Compromise, that the Presi- dent had power to coerce Texas into submission; but had not, by that, adunitted, that Toxas was @ sovereizn and independent Btate—independent of the Constitution of the United States. All etates were sovereign, except so far as their rorereignty was circumscribed by the Consti- tation of the United States. Im his speech in December, he had enumerated a half dezen attributes of sovereignty which were denied to the Btates by the Constitution of the United Btates. Of tnese, the Senator had seized up- en one, that the States had no power to punish treason He did not mean te ssy that South Oarolixa could not declare murder, rict, er forcible rescue as treason, and bang thore who should commit either of those offences. But, would that make it treason? Treason could only be committed against that power whose laws end authority were rupreme in the State. The Vo: tion of the United States was the supreme jaw; eaid that the constitution and laws of the United Sta! should be the supreme and paramount jaw—anything in Btate constitutions or laws to the contrery, notwithstand- ing. Suppose Congress should pass ae law and South Carolina forbids its execution, the Uaited States officers in Charleston, call upon the citizens of that city to aid in the execution of that law—which con- stitution is paramount’ The low of the land, Can | South Carclina say it is treason to obey?

Mr. Adams hed presen’ the petition under the bellef of the righ: of petition, and declared his opposition to the prayer of the petition. Yet, for presenting such a petition, the senetor desired to expel bina What was tir Adams’ crime compared +0 the Benstor’s own, who here opeuly, paulicly proc'aimed bim- telfadisupionist? Mr U. then defended his votes on xe8 fill, and an act abolishing the slave trade in thet district, He repeated that Mr. Oslboun died in the belief that secession, by a ringle State, was madners. Before his desth, he told Mr Clemens that iu 1632, he oculd have gone muon farther than, be bad, but not without arraying Tennessee against South Carolina, and Keptaoky aguiost Virginie. He wanted o platform on which all the Southera States ould stand together =Mr. ontiaged that, if fifteen Southern States were to secede together, it would be foily for either side to attempt esercton; but war would be inevitable They could never preserve peace jong and it would in the complete destraction of iberties of both sections On his retura to Alaba- ma, sfler the passave of the compromise, he foand dema- gcoguee upon the stump, telling the people that they had beep robbed, &o. He t the stump also, aud told them the truth. He told them that, if robbing had been accomplished, Tenurmser, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri and Maryland had takea part in it. The August elections bad shown that the psople were with him— not @ disunionist was left in the State. No man with the sentiments of the Benator, could be eleet- ed, in Alabama to any respectable offica—not even to the port of constable. Yet the people of that State were Soutnern men, devoted to the Usirn and Constita- tion. sed were as troe defenders of Southern rights as those who talk at home of the perfidious robbings of the North, and, when they come here, take seats, cheek by jowl with such men as Preston King, @iddings. H.ntul, Ball, Chase, and Sumuer. (Laughter.) Mr Rhett said that he was uot disappointed. He expected. when he replied to the insults of the Sens- ter, to be met with renewed insult. He had mot brooded over the ineult for months. He had not seen the Sene- tor’s speech till bis retura to the city. Sincs he had read it, he had been waiting for an opportanity of replying to it. The Senator denied having made the charge ef ‘The Senate can judge of the matter. He then read aextract from Mr. Clemens" speech about “ sympa eason as wellas in kuavery,” &c. Here wae the charge that there was a sympathy of treason between him and certain Senators, and that in treason there was sympathy asin knavery. He would ask the senator bimeelf if he did not mean by his speech te impute kpavery. Mr. Ciemens—No, sir, Every one who has read it un- derstands it as 1 do, It no more charges you wit! ry than it dees the Senator trom Ohio, or the 3 eee the charge. I charge you with being a dis- ua! Mr. Knert said if the language of the speech did not mean that he was guilty of knavery, then it was absurd noneense, and the Senator couid select “either born of dilemns.”? But it is s wanton insult; and it had been intimated that be ought to have resorted to another mode of redrees--that instead of waiting for this mode of vipdiosting himself, he ought to have challenged the Senator right off He would tell the Senate why he had not cballenged bim. There were too reasons. Le had a great desire to acoemplich the ends of the great cause with which he was identified—the maintenance of State rights. Another reason was, that he, for twenty yeare, had been a professor of the religion of Chriet, and he eould not, and would not, dishonor that religion by a resort to apy such measures. The Senator was entirely mistaken if he supposed be had not challenged him through fear pfhim, He feared God more than he did map, and would rather encounter the opprobrium of the latter than dare the anger of the former. He was not afraid ofamy man; but there were many ways of displayiog eourage. In that body he stood alone—yet did he quail before any manthere? (This is the substance of his reasons, which he read from several sheets of paper.) He then alluded to the words ‘applauding, cheering, nd encouraging,” and maintained tnat the Senator had jd they “ cheered by voice, and applauded by feet and that such was the impression the Senator in- tended to convey to that yeomanry he *poke of. The Senator must either stultify himself by his language, or admit tbat he meant to convey to others that such a ecene really took place. He denied that he had ever ad- mitted that he was atraitor. Under his view of the constitution, there were no traitors but those who were consolidationists, like the Senatcr him- self. He owed no allegiance to any power but to South Carolina. and to her he owed all his allegiance, and could not admit that he was a traitor. Treason must be agains: that power to whom allegiance ie due, If there be avy such thivg as treason against the constitution, it is by those who deny State rights and attempt to build up a consolidation power here. He hed introduced no private matter here asa charge against theSenator. He bad found the charge sustained by two responsible and honorable men of Alabama, who declare the facts attendant upon the Senator’s election tothe Senate, It wasa matter relating to the digaity of the Senate. If the facts stated by theso gentemen were true, and were known to the Senate,it is very doubt- ful whether the Senator would ever have been received here among his compeers; and now, if it should appear that he had been Rane of what these parties stated, a resolution to expel him would doubtless ba adopted. There was alarge majority of the Legislature democrats. Fitzpatrick received the nemination ia the caucus of the democratic members, The Senator bar- gained with the whige and defeated the caucus candi- date. Was this not so! Mr. Cirmens said that a number of members of the Legislature met together for a particular purpose. Fitz patrick’s friends, finding themselves in @ majority, de- clared it a onucus, and nominated him. The next day the resolution was rescinded, and there was mo caucus nominee. < Mr. Rurrt—Fitzpatrick considered himself the nomi- nee, however. Mr. Ciemens—Yer; but I did not. Mr. Ruett—Be that it as it may, Jitzpstrick received the support of theparty,and the Senator sent into the mous a elip of paper which they took to be » pledge to support Gen. Waylor’s administration. The Senator denies that it was such a pledge. The result— they having elected him—speaks best upon the nature of that pledge. Mr. Rhett then repeated bis argument tate sovereignty. He contended that Mr. Clemons d snocessfully to the charge of inconsis- he would reply to Mr [Cass at another bands’ Mr. Curstexs eaid that, as to the Benator’s expeoting renewed insults In answer to his defence, he would ask why be should expect any other course, after the means he had resorted to! As to his declining the usual mode of redxessing insults, he would aay that, until last night, he was not aware the Senator was member of the church, He was the equal of the Senator in position, learning and abilities,, He was above him ia the respect and confi dence ofthe Senate and the country. He was not aware till after the adjournment yortenday, ‘lat theSenstor belonged tothe church ; that knowledge hind induced him to spare the Senator in many things to-day. He was not aware of it when he epoke yesterday Low could he suppose thet man a Christian. who went to bed every night with the proyer upon his lips of “Father forgive us our tres pacees as we forgive thore who trespaes against us,” and pet, day after doy, was engrged tm preparing, with flend- ike malignity, » cold blooded murder upon the reputa- tion of his (llow-men?

ME SEAv OF MR. SNOW DECLARED VACANT—CANAL TOLLS, BIC. ‘The proesedings in the House continued very boister- eus In the midet of the excitement the gas lights were extinguished, and» bat, belonging to one of the mem- bers, was found in the basement, and he was accused of turning off the gas. Several fights ocourred among the outsiders, and a large body of police were on duty during the night. Candles were prosured, and after some delay order was restored, and the chamber relit, The Ser- geant at-Arme was derpatched in search of absent mem- bers, and it was nearly five o’elock before a sufficient num- ber were brought in. Then, after another protracted debate and determined struggle, the question was finally taken upon Mr Hatfield's resolution, offered at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, declaring the seat of the Sixteenth Asrembly district of the city of New York vacant, there by ousting B. L. Buow from bis seat. The House then, at six o’elock this morning, adjourned until Monday, when it ie likely the whigs will have a majority, when the war will be renewed. Should Gol. Monroe and Mr. Ven Et- ten, (whigs) remain firm, Mr. Snow will hardly be able to obtain the parsage of his Maine law this session.

The news from Europe ead from California has had a good effect In Wall street. The accounts are considered favorable, and the bulls have made the most of them At the first board, to-day, the two favorite fancies— Reading and Erle—advenced a fraction, and were in de. mand among the brokers. We have net heard of any outside purchases, and we doubt if any important amount of stock has been taken out of the market, by any clase of speculators. Erie holds its own much better than an- ticipated, under existing circumstances. If by any pos- sibility the market should run up two or three per cent, it would be # grand opportunity to sell Erie orany other fancy stock, and we have ne doubt the shrewdest opera- tors in and out of the street would avail themeei res of it. The best sale on the books, at this moment, is, without doubt, Erie Railroad stock. Some ofthe small stocks are worthless; but as it takes less capital to control them, they are easily sustained. Morris Canal, old stock, isin fact worthless. The preferred stock is increasing so fast, and bears such @ high rate ofinterest, that every dollarthe canal ean ever earn will be required to pay the annual divi- dends and intereston debt. Woe do not consider the old stook worth one dollar per share, notwithstanding whish, speculation will keep the market value romewhere in the neighborhood of present prices, This shows the effect ef speculation in Wall street. Before this work will be completed, the preferred stock will amount to more than a million of dollars; and as the preferred stockbolders hold very little of the old stook, the probability is that every dollar required for improvements, &c, will be raised by an issue of stock bearing ten per cent interest, which the present holders will secure for themselves. Long Island Railroad is steadily advancing, we believe upon @ pretty good basis. Zinc stocks have been in better demand, within the past few deys, at better prices, and the tendency is still upward. Edgeworth ic slowly improving. It isacheap stock at present pricer, and will pay well as a permanent investment. Jt will do to put away in some safe place for posterity. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, to-day, amounted to $88,66149; payments. $55,815 90—balanse, $2,459 283 43. The steamship Prometheus, from San Juan, brings eleven days’ later news from California. The intelligence is not at all important or interesting, The steamship ‘Tennessee left San Francisco, for Panama, on the Ist of February, with sixteen hundred thousand dollars iu gold dust on freight. She has on board three hundred and thirty passengers, who probably have a large amount in théir baggage. The Prometheus, from San Juan, brings very little specie on freight, bat » large sum, it is estimated, in the hands of passengers. Quartz mining, in California, continuss attractive. but not near #0 productive as anticipated. According to official re. turns from the Oustom House of San Francisco. the ship- ments of gold dust from that port, during 1852, were ue annexed:— Sripments or Goun Dust rrom Ban Franc ineo, 1852. New York... ++ $50,861,400 49 New Orleans, 404,204 11 London... 3,302,000 78 Panama, 151,293 64 Sen iat. 5,000 0® Valpsrai 444 482 00 Rio Janeiro, 15,000 09 Talcshuana 15750 0& Hong Kong.. 400 Total... sees about as much agsin has been brought away by pas- sengers, perhaps mere. We are much disappointed in the above statememt. According to ourcaiculations, the amount of gold dust taken away from San Francisco, by steamers, on freight, for the year 1851, was much larger than this. The shipments this year—1852—hayve not commenced very favorably, and unless # great improve- ment takes place, the aggregate will not ook as well as many have anticipated. 15000 Erie Cony, Kt " Tse iy do 10600 Krie 7's, 59, 2000 Brie I 100 do, 10) Kentucky HL) 10 ome Vopnaylvay ton 180 Brie RR. 50 do HOARD. 200 sha Roading Jt R.bid R ta RR. do, N63) SNYRN fev Ri, 108 + 63% 100 Long Island RR... 19, 60 Erie oy) SOCMYT MRMYINOD, WEO.
