The most important feature in the proceedings of the United States Senate yesterday, was the passage, in committee of the whole, of the amend- ment to the Deficiency bill, propesing to tender additiona compensation to the Collins line of steamers. The vote was twenty-three to twenty- one—cighteen members being absent, of whom more than cnough are known to be in favor of the measure to insure its final passage, on coming to a fall vote. But little other business of special inter- est was transaeted. We observe that some of the leading frce soil Senators presented petitions in favor of the Free Farm bill. If Judge Douglass does not bestir himself, these gentlemen will monopolize all the political eapital to be derived from the advocacy of this extraordinary affair. Young America should be up and doing. Several curious partisan speeches were made in the House of Representatives yesterday, while the Committee of the Whole were pretending to have torri(orial affairs under consideration. Mr. Grey, a Kentucky whig, seemed much astonished at the conduct of his colleague, Mr. Marshall, with regard to the late caucus. The action of the recent caucus engendered a sufiicient amount of dissension to keep the party in turmoil for years to come; and it may eventually result in the entire breaking up and scat- tering of the whole whig concern. But then the democrats are in equally as bad, if not a worse pre- dicament, as will be seen by the speech of Mr. Floyd, of this State. He takes upon himself the rexpousibility of speaking for the whole North; and declares that if the compromise measures are incor- porated into the party creed, that the democracy will certainly meet with defeat. What is to be done? Both the old parties are tumbling to pieces, and from the wrecks of the two it is not impossible that @ new vessel may be eenstructed sufficient to safely eonvey all friends of the Union, the constituti and the laws as they stand, into a port of sccuri ‘A bill was passed allowing the Legislature of New Mexico to hold sessions for a term not e: ninety days, and authorizing the Territorial Gov hor to convene extra sessions whenever necessary. The citizens of Albany appear to be ia somewhat ofa state of excitement just at this time. While some of them are running to see Kossuth, nearly all aro greatly interested in the election to take place next Menday, which is to decide the fute of the pro- ed lyan by the city to the Susqrebanns Railroad. uth was very much indisposed yesterday, but Ki will try to speak to the people to-day, at prices | ranging {rom five dollars to one dollar. In this, as in other matters, he seems very much inclined to imitate the example of other professional artists, who make it convenient to be indisposed whenever it suits them, and never perform at moderate prices, Gov. Boutwell’s veto of the Maine law appears to have astounded and coniounded ite advocates ia the Senate of Magsacuusetts. They, yesterday, at- tempted te veto the Governor’s veto, by passing the bill by a two-third vote, but the effort proved a fail- ure, there being 23 votes for and 15 against it. A new draft of the bill, substituting the seeret ballot, was engrossed and sent to the House. they cannot openly and fairly carry through their contemptible bill, these schemers now propose to do their work in the dark. How this plan will work, remuine to be seen. A State Convention of the Maineacs of Connecticut was held in New Haven yeeterday, for the purpose of concocting petitions in favor of the enactment of the temperance blue law of Maine. The schemes of these fanatics will be of no avail, because it is highly probable that, if the me » should even be passed by lature, Gov. Sey mour would follow the noble example of Gov. Bout well, of Massachusetts, and veto it. By a despatch from Savannah, we learn that the steamship Favny, which recently put in there for fael, while on her way from New Orleans to Cali. fornia, bas been seized by the Collector of that port, for Had other Collectors throughout the country, within the last fow yeare, exercised an equal degreé of vigi- lance, we sbould not have heard of so much suffering on shipboard, in consequence of an-overplas of pas- sengers. Upon the same ground, the Collector at New Orleans could have detained the Pampero, and might thereby have saved the shedding of a great amount of blood, in the wild and fruiuless Cuban expedition. Late accounts from the Rio Grande represent the murderous depredations of the Mevieuns as having become Fo frequent on the Texas side of the river, arto render it necessary for the Americans to or sanize and resist the villains. Ever since the ac quisition of Texas, large parties of Mexican bandits have been in the habit of robbing and mufiloring our people with impunity; and, if the trath were known, it is likely that they have been at the head of three-fourths of the outrages upon their own countrymen, whieh are now laid at the door of our Indians. The government should look into this matter fe Tbe riot among the Irishmen at Providence, in Which @ watchman was killed, bas caused con- siderable sensation in that quiet city. Petitions are circulating in favor of the repeal of the law prohibiting capital punishment. Derpatchee from the Weet annonnce two more steamboat casualtios on the Ohio river, one of whieh resulted in the sinking of a vessel, by coming in contact with another. But the worst of the story is, that the steamer Pitteburg bara her cylinder hends, in consequence of which one deck passengor was scalded to death, and another had hie skull fractured. No doubt many of the ¢ lamentable oc- ourrences are caused by the entire use of high pres- sure engines, which are far less safe than the low pressure, which are now altogether used in this teo- tion of the country. We understand that it is now in contemplation to introduce low pressure steam- ers on the Western watere. Lf they eucceed, and be the Connecticut Leg rrying more passengers than the law allows. Finding that | horrible calumities. The trial for libel against Madame Jagello Toch- man was commenced in Washington city yesterday. The developments in this case will no doubt attract considerable attention, as many of the leading | the Derby ministry, and the Rothschilds, and Ba- copy of an invitation: Hurgarians in the country are understood to be coneermed in the affair, In the Bourd ef Assistant Aldermen, last evening, ordinances were coneurred in for the issue of $200- 000 New York Five per eent stock, for docks and slips: $1£0,000 Croton water stock; and $150,000 Public Buildings stock. The report in favor of par- chasing sixty-nine scres of land on Ward's Islaod, for a new city Cemetery, was taken up and adopted, notwithstanding tho voto of the Mayor. ‘The reso- Jution of the Board of Aldermen, to appoint a com- mittee of five from each branch of the Common Council, to tender the hospitalities of the city to the officers of the frigate “Prince of Orange,” was concurred in, and Measrs. Wells, Wood- ward, Anderson, Rogers and Barker, were nomi- pated as that from this board; a committee of thiee, consisting of Assistant Aldermen Bouton, McGowan, and Rodman, was also appointed to re- ceive the Mayor and Corporation of Savannah, now in thiseity. The Mayor of Detroit is also here, and should have received a similar compliment. A re- port was adopted, concurring with the Board of Al- dermen to widen the walk in the Park, immediately for reviews, parades, and receptions, to the ex- tent of sixty feet, between the platform steps and the grass plots. The Board adjourned till to-mor- row evening. * Our inside pages, as ugual, contain a large amount of highly interesting reading matter, ip addition to a great variety of advertisements, among which are Auction Sales, Tenants’ Register, Boarding Houses, Shipping, Amusements, &c., &c. The steamship Africa is now overdue at this port, with three days’ later news from Eurspe. The Corruption of the Primary V.lections. The whig primary elections that have been carried on during the last week and the presqat, in this city, exhibit more than the ordinary amount of bribery, corruption, and fraud, of every description. The way in which the primary elections, both of whigs and democrats, have been managed for several years past in this city, is a subject of comment and com- plaint among all classes ; bit no remedy appears to have been thought of for the evil, and respectable citizens, instead of going to those elections and tak- ing such a part in them as would keep the rowdics and politicians in abeyance, have surrendered their rights into their hands, and for the most part have kept aloof from the contest, preferring to mind their own private business rather than be exposed to col- lision with bullies, in minding the business of the public, which is everybody’s business and nobody’s. The retult is, that corruption prevails to an alarming extent in these primary party elections, which rule and contro! the legal elections of the people—the nominees of the rum and rowdy delegates, no matter how unfit for office, carrying all before them, accord- ing to the usages of party, in voting tor what they call ‘regular nominations,” but which ought to be called irregular, disorderly, and mob nominations. or instance, look at the pro- ceedings on Thursday last, in the Nineteenth ward—voiers carried to the ballot-box in scores of wagons, from various localities; and, in other wards, hundreds of democrats voting for Scott or for Fillmore—men ignorant and steeped in crime— picked up in all the purlicus of the city, and pur- chased at a dollar ahead, and some, it is said, solow as fifty cents, to deposit in the ballot-box a vote they had never seen. This demoralizing process is play- ing fearful havoc with our institutions, rendering them, to a vast extent, not only a nullity, but perverting them to mischief—to bad and corrupt legislation—and to the mal-administration of pub- lie justice. The judicious grieve at these results; but what can they do to arrest the progress of the | evil ? The following is a faithful and exact description of the system :—A lazy loafer, who hates to work for a living, and encouraged by the success of ward politicians, who have grown fut upon corruption and the spoils of office, devotes his energies, day and night, to the acquisition of influence in the ward in which he resides. He spouts—he brawls in the bar-room—and affects public virtue of the highest order. He is a patriot of the first water, and “a clever” fellow to boot. He treats the rowdies whenever he meets them, and makes them his | fast friends. He is most diligent in attend- ing to all matters of public interest conneeted with the ward or the city. If he has sufficient avility, he draws up resolutions gr public meetings and committees, and studies the forms and precedents of political organizations, so that he has them at his fingers’ ends, and he is con- sulted as an oracle upon all occasions of doubt or difficulty, orimportance. If there ig an honest man in the ward of the same politics, who has any taste or ambition for public affairs—and especially if he shows any talent—he takes every opportunity to blast his character, and calls him a traitor, an intriguer, a demagogue, or some other hard name. [or the simple and the confiding# he promises to obtain situations in the Post Office, the Custom House, and the Police. He thus gradually acquires the influence he seeks, and soon finds himself a farmore important man in the ward than his neighbor, who is a man of real worth and respectability. His position is found out by those who want to use him. He is for sale est bidder, either to defeat his own party or to procure a nomination for any He has no politics by treachery scoundrel who will pay for it. of any kind. He has raseulity to sell, and there are those who are willing to purchase it in order that they may traffic in it, and gell it themselves again,atavery high profit. For instance, the agents of Fillmore, or Scott, or Webster, come to one of these ward politicians, and they make a contract with Lim to secure the majority of the ward. Sometimes he succeeds completely, and sometimes only partially, as there are other politicians as cunning and as mer- cenary as himself, who manage to get their names onthe ticket, and, acting independently of hims must hove their price, whatever it is, particularly if they find they can turn the seale, and hold the destiny ofthe ward ordistrictin their hand. Hence it is that when the public imagine that a ward has gone for 4 particular canfidate—gone for Fillmore, or Scott, or Webster—they are astonished to find that they were deceived, when the final result is declared, and it turns out to be the very reverse of what they had anticipated. The agents of vhe candidates seo the purchasable delegates between the time of their election and the time that they clect the district delegate, or during that time—perhaps in the in” terval of taking recess to ‘‘ get a drink,” or while leaving the room in some other emergency—-and the matter is made “all right,” and comes out to their satiefaction in the end, notwithstanding protracted ballottings, adjournmente, and deceitful appoar- ances of obstinacy. Nor is it always with money that the delegates are purchased—the promise of a fat office has some- times an equally potent and magic effect. But it most frequently with money that the operations are transacted, on the principle that ‘a bird in the hand ie worth two in the bush,” or tha the men for sale have no faith in the promises or the success of | the purchasing party. The sums of money thus | given are incredible. We have heard of a case in | one of the lower wards of the city, in which one man | got, at the time of the late democratic district con- | ventions, the enormous eum of two thousand dollars, out of which he said he bribed a majority of the dele- | | gutes in the district, and kept the balance for | himself. The dangers to which this system may lead, aro appalling to every true patriot who calmly and at- tentively considers ite tendency and possible results. | Ifmoneyed men in foreign countries find from thoir agents here, that our delegates can be purchased to vole for ® particular candidate, and give bim the in front of thé City Hall, so as to give more space | generally adopted, we shall hear of less of these nominetion (which in many eases isequiva'ent tohie Premio Feeriva, To Groxog Law.—Tus Uss- — aod ection), tbey not try their hand ia procuring FUL ARTS AND tue Fins Arra.—The friends | to, senclsan anneal O0all for the Presi- adwirers of George Law, Req, give that celebrated dency, whom they can use for their own purposes, and gentleman and useful citizen o splendid dinner this to the detriment of the nation?

We do not say that any of these cases will ever be remilized, but there ie peril; and the fheility with which corruption is practised in the ward aad dis- ) trict nominations shows that it ie not impossible on a larger scale, and where there would be actually fewer men to bribe. Every friend of those republi- | | ean institutions which were cemeuted by the best | blood of our revolutionary ancestors, ought to lift his voice and use all his influence against this sys- tem, and strike.at it where only it can be woanded | effectually—in its first inception, in the ward pri- | mary elections. What are the remedies ? In the first place, honest men ought to attend the primary elections, and not leave them in the hands of rowdies and scheming politicians; and they ought always to vote fer the best men. In the second place, there ought.to be a registration established, by which no man could sail under false colors, or deposit a vote.at @ primary election, unless be- longed to the ward, and belonged to the part¥ to which he professed to belong; and the inspectors of the election ought to have the power to administer | an oath to every voter, and perjury in such cases ought to be made as much a criminal offence as it would be in any legal proceeding. If this cannot be done, or, being done, does not check the evil, there is but one remedy remaining, and that is the stump nominations, or self-nominations, that prevail in the South and West. The primary elections, as carried on in this city, andin the North gene- rally, may be for the convenience of party and for the interest of politicians, but they are unknowa to the constitution; and when they threaten to sub- vert the very design of that constitution, and to nul- lify our most cherished institutions, it is high time for the people to consider whether they ought not either to abolish them, or take them out of the hands of the wire pullers into their own hands. They have the powor, if they will only exert it; and to this complexion it will come at last. Meantime, our political system, so beautiful and so free, and so well adapted to guard against despotism on the one hand and the licentiousness of the mob on the other, isso abused and so perverted from its original de- sign, as to become the source of public demoraliza- tion, the reproach of the United States, and the laughing stock of the enemies of republican institu- tions all over the world. KossuTH on THE Maing Law.—In his farewell speech at Faneuil Hall, on Friday evening last, Kossuth repeated much of what he said in his speech at Northampton. Among other advantages to the United States in return for the material aid it might furnish for the regeneration of Hungary, he held out the inducement of one hundred and twenty millions of gallons of wine annually, produced by that country, and which would all flow into the United States if poor Hungary were only indepen- dent and free. This tickled the audience into a burst of merriment, to the great scandal and discomfiture of the Maine law folks; whereupon, says the Boston Journal, * Kossuth joined in the laughter, and said, ‘I have no idea of interfering with the common sense of the Americans upon this point. Ihave no opinion at all in regard to the Maine Liquor law.’” Kossuth has no opinion at all upoa the merits of | the Maine Liquor law; but he has a very decided | opinion upon the merits of good wine, as the bills ' at the Irving House, the bills at Washington, the bills at Cincinnati, and the bills in other cities, | abundantly testify. What the bill at the Rovere | House will show, remains to be seen. The way in which Kossuth forms his opinion of wine is rather ' different from the manner in which he arrives at his conclusions in politics. In the latter he is a mere | theorist, but in the case of wine, he judges from »| practice and experience. He knows whether it is | good or bad by tasting nd pronounces judgment | accordingly. If the billt Brown’s Hotel, Wash- ington, be any criterion, he must have highly relished the wine of that establishment. The amount | for board, lodging, wine and segars, for Kossuth and suite, for thirteen and ahalf days, was $4,566, which | would be about enough to support ten plain republi- | can families for a whole year, in that city. This bill has been paid. But a curious bill has been also far- | nished by Mr. Coleman, of Cincinnati, to the Com- | mon Council, for board, wine and eegars, for Kos- | | suth and suite. But we find, from the recently received papers from that city, that the Corporation repudiates it, and will not pay it, though they in- | vited the Magyar to the city, and almost broke their necks in running to receive him at the cars. This falling off is another unmistakeable evidence of the decline of the popularity of Kossuth, notwithstand- ing all the ‘soft soap” he hay applied to the ** Queen of the West.” We commend his palate as a touchstone to try the juice of the grape. He is also a tolerably good judge of poetry. But we are sorry we cannot say 80 much for his sagacity in questions of politics and | statesmanship, the law of nations, and the actual political condition of the people of Europe. StriKing For Higher WaGEs.—While the ferry- boat pilots of this city have struck for higher wages, the pilots that lead astray in Congress have also struck for an advance in their pay. They have inti- mated their desire, by the proposition of a committee of the Senate, to change the mode of compénsa- tion from $3 per working day, to the round sum of $2,060 per year, work or play. We are entirely op- posed to every such proposition as that. Weare in favor of a higher pay to pilots of every description. If a member of Congress is worth anything, he is worth more than $2,000 per annum ; andif there be any strike, it ought to be headed by the President of the United States, and go down to the lowest page of the House. We would give the Prosideut $50,000 a year; each Cabinet Minister ¢10,000; cach Senator $6,000; and each member of the House of Representatives $5,000 per annum, and eo in | proportion down to the last step in the political | ladder. These salaries would not be too much, ae- cording to the prices of beef and other provi- sions under the effect of the California mines ; | and membere of Congress would uo longer be under | the necessity of being agents for spurious clatms, and receiving outside fees, contrary to principle, con- trary to deceney and the intorest of the public. | They would also work hard in the beginning of the | session, and not protrace it as they do. They would | finish off the business as soon as porsiblo, and go home and eellect information for the ensuing sersion. None but loafers can be got for @3 a day, to do the | legislation of 25,000,000 of people, with thirty evening at the Astor House.

If our substitute makes a speech, we will have it reported; and if he does not, we will make one fr bim, and print it, with the cheers and ap- plause inserted in the proper places. Coancorre Cusnman’s Farewktt To THE Amrxican Stage.—We are sorry to announce that Miss Charlotte Cushman has retired for ever from the American stage, to which she has done such honor. She made her last appearance hore, in the Broadway theatre, on Saturday night lust, and bade her adieu in a very excellent and appropriate speech, displaying much good sense and refined feeling. Indeed it presented a gratifying contrast, on these points, te some of the specches reeently delivered from the same beards. Charlotte Cushman stands at the head of her profession on either sido of the Atlantic, and has given a very interesting sketch of her seventeen years’ career on the stage. It reflects much credit upon her, too, to know that during that long period, in a profession of the most arduous description, and coming in contact with characters of all kinds, she hae maintained a private character of the highest respectability and most un- sullied purity. Her disposition pever led her into quarrels, strifes, or wrangles with those of her own profession, or of any other rank in life. Sho never created disturbances, never instigated riots, nover disgraeed her name or reputation, never created dif- ficulties of any kind; but undeviatingly pursued the “even tenor of her way.” Indeed, during the whole of her carcer, we do not recollect a single thing of a disturbing nature, unless it was some difference of opinion between her and Park Benjamin, » few years ago, which was more of a laughable character than anything else, and in which the talent and na- tive good sense of the actress had a manifest advan- tage, in every respect, over the silliness and folly of the poet. Charlotte Cushman is the first American actress who has reached the highest pinnacle of her profes- sion, both inthe Oldand New World. For that renton—and as now is the time for giving compli- mentary banquets, and dinners, and balls—would it not bea good idea for some of the distinguished friends of the drama in this city, to get together and decide upon some such mode of displaying the respect and admiration entertained for her genins as an artiste, and her character asa lady? Could we not get up, for Charlotte Cushman, a dianer or a bull, or some testimonial of a novel charactor, which would outstrip anything of the kind that has been hitherto attempted in that line? A dinner and a ball might be united inthe one, or some sort of an entertainment got up, to which should be invited all the dramatic ta’ent of the country, the literary genuius of the day, and the poets, philosophers and distinguished personages of this and the neigh- boring cities. Weare confident that all who are capable of appreciating real talent would willingly join in such a demonstration as would at once be highly gratifying to Miss Cushman and creditable to the country, and we expect to see our suggestion acted on. Tne Marne Liqvor Law Verorp sy Goverxor BoutweLt or Massacnvserts —Yesterday, ac- cording to our telegraphic intelligence, Governor Boutwell, of Massachusetts, planted his weto upon the Maine Liquor law, recently passed by tho Legis- lature of that State. Tho Governor deserves great credit for his moral courage in stemming the torrent of fanaticism and cant. Let him be honored in every State of the Union where there is sense and enlightened liberty yet in existence. This modern blue law has received a black eye in the old Bay State, and we trast that the peoplo will back up the bold Boutwell as he deserves to be. Why should nota meeting be held here to thank him for his moral courage, while not forgetting the folly of Rhode Island, in making a desert of Newport and its beautiful watering place t PLayinG Barvem.--The oyster-cellar crities and musical speculators are puffing and blowing droad- fully, endeavoring to play Barnum over again, at the expense of Jenny Lind’s reputation. One of their tricks is exposed in the following paragraph from the Post of last evening :-— Mvsicat Exerrement.—Chickering’s well known piano establi*hment, in Broadway. was the scene of considerable excitement this morning. Between eight and nine o'elock, ahundred persons or more assembled iv frout of the Building. endes voring to get admission to purchase tickots for Madame Otto Goldsehmidt’s next concert; but, for some reason best known to the proprietor. no one was allowed toenter; the door was barred against every one, andeven the window shutters were put up, to prevent inquiitive eyes from seeing the operations that were going on imide, among those initiated in the mysteries. At length. when the patience of the outsiders was ex- haurted by a clay of an hour or more, the doors were opened, and a toan rushed out, bearing in his hand two hunared concert tickets, which he offered for rale at atx dollars each or three dollars over the pries of te rents, Twelve, we understand were sold at that price, but a large nuinber were so disgusted by the miserable trick that they refused to purchase any, We hope some means Will he taken to prevent a similar deception upon the public Tux Resn ro Ecrore.—The Europa stoamor, of | the Cunard line, sailed yesterday for Liverpool, with a full complement of passengers—123 in all. Many ofthese are Canadians of distinction, and some from all parts of this continent Among thom was Feargus O'Connor, the Euglish chartist, who it seems» hae made up his mind to go back to Englaad and take his chances of the Tneane Asylum. A few days ago, one of the Collins line sailed with a larger as vortment; among them was Dr. Huat, of Kentucky, | and his celebrated Indy, Mrs Hunt, who’ is butter known as the beautiful Miss Sallie Ward, of Louise | ville.

The gene- ral plan of the eygine and boat is that of the beau- tiful North rive floating palace, the Reindeer. The beat is to ruv, between Vienna and Pesth; and it is supposed tat by the combined efforts of two of the most emnent constructers in this country, Ameri- can ingenuity will oxperience a new triumph in the beort of Eavope, not inferior, perhaps, to that achieved by the yacht America or Collins steamers in the waters of the Atlantic. Public opinion on the other side of the Atlantic has been prejadiced ogainst the American system of river steamboats, without a proper knowledge of it, in consequence of the accidents which happen at times‘on some of tho western rivers. On profes- sioval-examination, however, it is found that these accidents cannot be attributed to the principle,ofcon- struction, and that the sysiem adopted on tho Bastern rivers, in particular, is perfectly safo, if applied even with ordinary care and attention. En- gineers in Europe are not in the habit of controlling steam of thirty er forty pounds to the inch, in con- densing engines, although they are perfectly aware of the great advantages to be derived from the applica- | tionof high pressure steam for condensing purposes. | The plan of the American river steamboat is, be- | yond doubt, far superior to that in use in Europe. For comfort, beuuty and elegance, there is nothing | te compare to it anywhere ; and for speed, they sur- | pase all boats by more than 30 por cent. It is sur- | prising, therefore, that this system has not been in- | troduced in the Old World before. The Danube Steamboat Company, at Vienna, has a large fleet of river steamboats, amounting at this moment to seventy, and they navigate the Danube from Lints to Galatz. The engines for this company have béen built mostly in England, by some of the best makers, such as Bolton, Watt, Rennie, and Penn. The American engine, the “ Pioneer of the Fast,” will, therefore, have to compete with nocom- mon opponents, and the struggle for the supremacy on sweet water will bo as interesting, and, in its re- sults, perhaps as important, as that witnessed a short time ago on the bottomless deep. If the boat suc- ceeds as it is expected—of which there oan be no shadow of doubt—we will have the pleasure, before long, to travel, at least on most of the Continental rivers, with equal comfort as we do now on the North river. twelve millions of florins, and whose object it is to use the very best kind of engine and boat, will do justice to the American steamboat, and spare no ex- pense to give her tho fairest trial. Tur Homesteap Law, anD FuturE EmicRa- TION TO THE UniTED StaTes.—The emigration from Europe to this country is already great—it is every day increasing and multiplying. From Germany and from Ireland, in particular, it has boen vastly swollen; and myriads who have not room at home, are swarming, like bees from crowded hives, and tettling in this broad land, where there is ‘ample scope and verge enough” for all. But if the homo- stead bill now before Congress should pass, a new impetus will be given to European emigration, and it will be increased to an extent that can hardly be calculated. The bill enacts that every native born citizen, every foreign citizen naturalized prior to the Ist of January, 1852, and every emigrant who, before the issuing of the patent, shall declare his intention to become a citizen, shall be entitled to a quarter section (160 neres) of the public lands, provided he is the head of a family, and settles on said land, and is not the owner of any other land. ‘The bill has passed the House in this form, and it may possibly be amended in the Senate so as to em- brace every emigrant who declares his intentions of becoming a citizan, in all future time, or at least of every emigrant who shall havo actually become a citizen. But even in its present shape the bill would give an incentive to emigration’ Thousands of citi- rens, native and naturalized, and thousands of those emigrants who have recently arrived, as well as thove who have been in the conntry for any period within the last five years, will migrate from the Eastern States to the West, and leave their places to be filled by the new comers from the Old World This bill will give a heavy blow to stockjobbing in those lands by Western railroad companies, who private ndvantage, under tho pretence of ministering its vast resources. Far better, if the unappropriated land is to be diverted from the public treasury, to give it to actual settlers, who will soon create a de- mand for railroads in the legitimate way, and enable them to remunerate themselves for the capital ex- pended. Tus Reviciovs ANNiversantes.—The colebra- tion of these anniversaries closed on Friday. In most instances, there is.an apparent prosperity ; but there is some scattering of the forces, which must have a tendency to weaken the collective operations. The American Bible Society took up their head-quarters at Cleveland; while, through the active influence of Captain Rynders, the Anti-Slavery Society took the field at Roch ter. There must be some meaning for these peri- grinations, beyond what may be merely apparent. It cannot be that New York is getiing tired of these anaual exhibitions of religion and philanthropy, for we aro all of us font of oratorical exhibitions, coms from whatever sources, and upon whatever sub- ject,and «ur pockets are as open as our hearts, al- most in «auct proportion.
