Arsther wnmsual amount of busing 9s was trans- acted in t Ac United States Senate yest erday, as will be seen bg reference te the proceedings . Among the bills in’ grodaced, wee oxic asking for a‘ grant of land to aid in ¢he-construction of a canal 7 cross the Sierra Neve do valley, thus showing thet the Californians are ‘Aetermined net to be behind their neighbors in the Atlantic States in asking for land to assist them im Wovcloping their internal resources. The bill grunting seven hundred and &.y thousand acres of land, to aid in the construction of a ship canal are@and the falls of the St. Mery’s river, was passed. M the proposed werk is ever completed it will be of imenisulable benefit to the shipping interests of the Vales. Quito a lively and interesting debate sprung wp onan amendment te the River and Harbor bill, whith proposed to appropriate seventy- five thousand dollars for the digging of a ship canal from the-Mississippi river to the Gulf of Mexico. Several Senators contended that the va- wiows appropriations had already rendered the bill fall large enough, and that all additions should werdieeountenanced, while others averred that there were- many matters of great importance wholly un- provided for. In the course of the controversy, Gen Caso-stated that he voted for the former bill, which President Polk vetoed, that he should vote for this ag it now stands, and would do the same upon auy preper measure of a similar kind, the Nicholson Jetter to the contrary notwithstanding. The pre- sent indications are that the River and Harbor bill will now become a law, unless its friends should overdo the matter and kill it with amendments. Rotice was yesterday given, in the Senate, that the Homestead or free farm bill, and Mr. Bennett's bill for the distribution of land to all the States, weuld be called up to-day. Although the latter is by far the most equitable measure that has been preduced among the multifarious schemes for rid- ding the government of its landed property, it is hoped that even this will ke let alone—during the present session, at all events. As for the free farm project, it isa species of socialism directly at vari- anee with the system under which we have hitherto prospered, and become so powerful as a nation; and the great surprise is that such an abominable mea- sure should be countenanced by ary enlightened bedy of men. According to the deeds by which a large portion of the public domain was Originally ceded to the United States, the land was to be dis- posed of, and the proceeds appropriated for the be- nefit of said States; conjointly. The land should, therefore, be reserved for purposes ef public revenue, instead ef being granted away, by wholesale, for the advancement of mere local and individual interests. As usual, a debate on the Wheeling bridge case occupied the morning hour in the House of Repre- sentatives yesterday, after which that body went into Committee of the Whole on the Naval Appro- priation bill. The clause appropriating one mil- lion and sixty-five thousand dollars for the repair of vesggls, was amended by providing that whenever it i-tiscovered that the expense of repairing a ves- rel will exceed two-thirds of her original cost, she shall be sold, and the preceeds appliéd to the building of a new vessel. A proposed amendment, authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to carry out the contract with Robert L. Stevens, for the con- struction ofa ball and shell proof vessel, for harbor defence, was declared out of order by the Chairman, who was sustained by a vote of 62 to57. During the debate on an amendment for the appointment, by the President, of ten midshipmen, at large, which failed, much complaint was made of the gross favoritism practised in the appointment of midshipmen and cadets. The steamship Crescent City, which arrived last night, brings most deplorable accounts of the state of society at Havana. In consequence of the secret issuing of revolutionary proclamations, from a quarter unknown, the government is said to be seizing upon and imprisoning every Creole who happens to fall under suspicion. The prisons are reported to be already overflowing with occupants, notwithstanding which the incendiary publications continue to make their appearance. As if to add to the horrors of the inhabitants, the cholera and yellow fever are raging among them with great violence. The details of the European intelligence, brought by the eteamship Canada, which reached Boston yesterday, are given elsewhere. A large portion of thie news is exceedingly interesting, particularly that relative to the fisheries, and to the Australian gold mines. The estimated productivoness of the amines it truly astonishing. No wonder that a pro- Ject is on foot to establish still another steam line between England and her auriferous colony. The Jetters from our London and Paris correspondents are replete with entertaining information. We regret that an interruption of telegraph com- munication, south of Richmond, Va., has deprived us of the second day’s proceedings of the Georgia Tnion Convention, and, also, the first day’s pro- oocdings of the Georgia Scott Convention. This is rather a disappointment, just at this time, when tho friends of both Webster and Scott are on the tiptoe of anxiety and expectation. Wo shall doubtless be enabled to lay the transactions of both conventions before our readers to-morrow. The report of the last meeting of Land Reformers, which will be found in this day’s Heap, presents ® very funny view of the effects of the operations of the political wire-pullers of the whig and democratic partics ~ ‘The demoorats of Albany, yesterday, held thoi Primary elovtivns, jor the purpose of choosing rg- men was true, and that he was going out in pursu’ of the murderers. dictory stories afloat relative to this matter, and believed, however, that the reporte J aaoabin’ MinsTRELE-S 7 Pani flourishing condition.

Before the Baltimore nominations of the two great, parties, the most sagacious and shrewd politicians and statesmen were at sea, without a compass, a chart, or sun, or stars, to guide them in the peril- ous voyage. Noone could forsee the end. Clouds and darkzess rested upon it. On one side there was ‘the secession party of the South, with the Southern Press, its organ in Washington, brought into exist- ence to sustain it, and the numerous journals throughout the South, which gave fhe movement their advocacy and support. .On the other side was the abolition and free soi] party of the North, with its organs in every city and every district, and the Era, at the head-qyarters in the capital, promitl- gatingthe rankest treason to the Union, the con- stitution, and the laws of Congress. The dema gogues of both the extreme sections and their re- spective journals, vied with each other in seditious language and treasonable designs, and patriotic men, both ofthe democratic and whig parties, were filled with apprehension and gloomy forebodings for the future. In this critical juncture the national conventions of the two leading parties were held at Baltimore, and they both boldly espoused the side of the con- stitution. The effect was at once visible upon the secession party of the South. It was the final blow which laid it in the dust. The Northern abolition party was also stunned; but partaking more of a permanent character, in its principles and organic structure, than thejSouthern wing, it survived the stroke, and is not even yet extinct, though the Pitts- burg convention has nearly finished it. It only wants another knock on the head to complete the business. - When the platforms were announced by the rep- resentatives of the two parties at Baltimore, the heads of the Northern free soilers and abolitionists fretted and fumed, and@nnounced their convention for the 12th of August. The leaders and their organs threatened certain annihilation to one or both the great parties. The day so long looked forward to came, and the free seilers and abolitionists of every stripe and hue, from the four winds of heaven, met at Pittsburg. The sincere men and enthusiasts were bamboozled by the wire pullers of the whig and democratic parties; they imagined they were serving the cause of abolition, when they were only playing into the hands of the schemers of their own party and the schemers of the other two par- ties, who all conspired together for the spoils, | and laughed at the dupes who showed a higher regard for principle than for the loaves and fishes. In this game of chess the democrats got the advantage, as our Pittsburg special correspondent was the first to show, and as is now admitted by those delegates who avow they went to that con- vention for the purpose of working for Scott. The speech of Mr. West, at the land reform meeting on Tuesday evening, which will be found in another part of this day’s Henatp, “ lets the cat out of the bag;” and the letter of another delegate, Watson G. Haynes, which appeared in yesterday’s Tribune, together with anonymous communications from two more delegates, are ‘‘ confirmation strong as proofs from Holy Writ,” that the whigs, who were confis dent of springing a trap upon the convention by th® nomination of Chase, were forestalled and outwitted by the democrats, who played their game so skil- fully that they checkmated their opponents, and effectedthe nomination of Hale in spite of himself. Thus were the tricksters tricked, and they are now filled with disappointment; but, as a forlorn hope, rely upon Hale’s rejection of the nomination. Even this move the democrats anticipated, for they would not consent to the appointment of a commit- tee to officially tender Hale the nomination, lest it should give him the opportunity of coming out. But the party most affected by the action of the Pittsburg convention is the’ abolition party itself. It is all but used up, and the elements of which it was composed will eithersbe absorbed by the two parties from whieh they were originally severed, or they will stand in the dignified attitude of “ armed neutrality,” without exerting'the slightest influence upon the great result of the second of November. As for the convulsive efforts of a handful of loafers and impracticable visionaries, haunting Military Hall, who call themselves land reformers, and who dream of ‘‘ fields that are green far away,” but who entertain an innate instinctive horror of the axe, the plow, the harrow, and other implements of hus- bandry, as indeed they do of labor of every kind, men who would not be content if you provided them. with a free farm, unless you also furnished them with farming utensils, cultivated the soil, procured and sowed the seed, and finally reaped the crop and made them a present of the produce, while they looked on and praised the dignity of labor—as for these lazy individuals they are of no account, and cannot affect the election one way or the other. They are galvanised into action, like the corpses of criminals, by the whig politicians, and they charge each other with being sold to that party. Some of them talk of joining their forces to the Pitts- burg organization. But that would be like adding two ciphers together. What remains of the free soil party, represented by the Pittsburg convention, will be effectually disposed of at the Buffalo gathor- ing on the first of September. It will then be ro- duced to a mero skeleton, consisting of Gerrit Smith, Fred Douglass, Loyd Garrison, and a few fana- ties of the liberty party. This skeleton, without flech or blood, or sinews, may, with its bony arms oad Stim death’s head, soare babies, but it can no yg men from their propriety. t fos evan ae of the two wings of the “nowhere,” and he ot oe eee oe , ¢ other, if we may use an Irish byll, will poon be in the seme plage.

In addition to a vast’ ng reading, our inside v4 of that ilk, will go tho way of the Southern Press. | They have already culmipated, and are now going | until nothing will be left but the ghost of the par- ty—a bugbear to startle grown children and old Womenimpanteloons. Tue Pousiic VERSUS THE FASHIONABLE WATER- ING PLAcEs.—For some time past, we have been in- dicting, before the tribunal of public opinion, the hotels of Saratoga and Newport, for various cor- rupt practices and misdemeanors, the chief of which was the conspiracy, by the waiters, te defraud and levy blackmail on the visiters, under the pe- nalty of loss of rations. When our correspondents —always reliabletind unpurchasable—informed us of the state of affgirs at those hotels, and the inflic tion to which it was absolutely necessary to submit, before a guest could have the privilege of occupyirg aseat at the dining table, or procaring anything to eat, we immediately oxygen denounced the whole aifair, and held up wgement of these they would select another time. The second reason why they are not entitled to land, perpetrating the most Magrant jobe by night and by day, these journals and patriots never called | for veferm, nor even adverted to the hourly robber- | ies of the public treasury. But circumstances alter | cases. The democrats are now in power, and the whigs want to turn “hem out, by making them odious with the people, while it is hoped, at the seme time, to influence the Presidential election by reising acry against the correption of the demo- crate. Thisis a weak device—too shallow by far to stand the test of five minutes’ reflection. It is ss trans- parent as- glass, and as easily demolished. There willbe no third party just now, unless it isa tee- total party, and these pure reformers must either “bide their time,” nursing their wrath to keep it werm fora fature day, or they must divert their zeal into some other channel, more plausible and housgeto public disepproval and contempt. Our action inthe matge {imitated and iterated by other presses in anfdeuntry, and tke pro- prietors who were Affected by the charge, began to more likely to yield them a quick and a profitable return. OPERATION OF THE Marne Liquor Law.—A great deal of dissatisfaction is caused wherever the new } feel the disagreeable and unpopular position they | liquor law is put in operation ; and in some cases 80 ‘had taken up, and even to abate the nuisag somewhat, and make it less objectionabley: Newport, besides the Macgregor operation, ; to deprecate the effects of the Maine Liquor law} in converting that once pleasant and agreeable watering place into a congeries of cold-wa- ter establishnients, avoided bythe gey, picasant and fashionable, and resorted to only by melan- choly, moping, angular-shaped old maidens, who think ofnething but propagating scandal end the Bible, and by the teetotal fanatics of this State and New England, who smell brimstone and sulphur ia a dilution of brandy and water, and look upon the fizzle from a champagne bottle as something dia- bolical. The indore immediately affected by sae strictures we felt called upon to make in these re- spects, have been endeavoring to manufacture a sort of denial, or qualification of our statements, and havo, for this purpose, enlisted the services of certain cor- great has been the excitement against it and against those who are the immediate cause of putting in force its odious provisions, that fears have been and are still entertained that the peace of some of our quiet Eastern towns would be disturbed by a serious riot or outbreak. Indeed, the citizens of Newport, after pelting seme informers with eggs of tho old school, openly threaten that when they next make their appearance in that place, amore serious attack may be the consequence. The papers, however, ro commend that, as they are lost to all sense ef'decency end self-respect, they be treated with silent con- tempt, and be allowed t» do their dirty and degrading work without molestation. An attempt kaerecently been made in Massachusetts to make a common car- rier liable, under the new law, to the same penalty in- flicted upon atraflicker; but it was decided by a very sensible justice in Canton village that the case did not come within the meaning of the statute, and the defendant was thereupon discharged. We give in respondents of journals in this city, whose epis- | another column the particulars of an unjustifiable, tles occasionally make their appéarance in the columns of papers of little circulation and Jess influence—such as. the Journal of Compherce and Commercial Advertiser. It is not very dificult to procure the publication of any kind of pat through such mediums—a friendly welcome from the proprietor, or a condescending nod of recogni tion, are very potent; but a weck’s boarding gratis can work wonders in guiding the lettor-wci- ter’s pen to depict the excellence of the accommo- dations to be had in this or that hotel, the polite at tentions of its host, and the general attractions of the place. We are not, therefore, much surprised to read in the Journal that the Maine Liquor law is materially conducive to the popularity of Newpert, and that it has not effected any diminution in the number of visiters, but has only improved their character. Every person will at once perceive what degree of credit ought to be attached to this piece of infotmation, and will treat it for whatit is worth No sensible people, fond of enjoying life according to their own impulses and desires, free from the interfe- rence of meddling reformers and contemptible infor- mers, would think of taking up quarters in such a place as Newport, or any other,where the obnoxious Maice Liquor law has effect. Butno one is hardy enough to venture—even in the Journal—on a contradiction of the charge of blackmailing; and in the Commer- cial Advertiser the correspondent puts in, en behalf of the United States Hotel at Saratoga, a plea of guilty, with extenuating circumstances. He admits that the custom of feeing waiters has become preva- lent there, but qualifies the admission by saying tha itis a voluntary act, and that the fee is only give enwhen deserved. These are very weak attempts to explain or refute our assertions, and we have a corroboration of the blackmailing charge in the scene witch took place in Newport last week, whére a Southern gentleman had to appeal to a brace of revelvers to defend his rights at table. Instead of influencing these letter writers of the press, to indite tulsome epistles in praise of their hotels, and in defence of ‘their peculiar institu tions,” the proprietors of fashionable hotels must introduce reforms and improvements, and abolish the obnoxious custom, which originated at Newport, and has reached its highest point at Saratoga. The correspondents of the HERALD are proof against the seductions which are so potent with those of | other journals, and cannot be bribed into silence with respect to such delinquencies. Nor will we cease to expose and denounce them until a complete change is brought about in the management of these hotels. Newport and Saratoga are, in the meantime, places which are not to be sought but shuoned. Io the neighborhood of New York there are numerous summer resorts, far more eligible in every re- spect. In Bath, Fort Hamilton, New Brighton, the Powelton House at Newburg, West Point, Rockaway, and other contiguous places, visiters will find good bathing, salubrious air, comfortable quarters, and the best of hotel accommodation. Here, too, they may remain, with facilities of visiting the city once aday, during the delicious months of September and October, which is even a pleasanter season in the country than July or August. But let such as do not wish to subject themselves to the tyranny and caprice of tectotal fanatics and woolly-headed waiters, as to what they may oat or what they may drink, take care and avoid Newport and Saratoga, and geek places more congenial to freedom, comfort and enjoyment. TRAVEL ON THE PENNSYLVANIA RatL- ROADS.—We are informed, by our Pittsburg corres- pondent, that the Pennsylvania railroads are in a very deplorable condition, particularly between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. So bad isit, that the trains travel about fifteen miles an hour, when, if pace was kept with the progress of the age, and with railroads in other parts of the country, double, and even treble that speed, could be easily accom- plished. The celebrated horse Trustee trotted twen- ty miles within an hour; but in Pennsylvania the locomotive is reduced below that speed, and fifteen or sixteen miles is considered excellent time; yet the charges on this road are most exhorbitant— three cents a mile, instead of a cent and a half, or even one cent, for which some of our Northern rail- roads carry passengers, at a speed of from thirty to forty miles an hour. A speed of fifty miles an hout is far safer on the railroads of New England than of fifteen miles an hour on tho Pennsylvania track. Then the cars are 80 old and filthy, and the passen- gers are more fatigued by travelling one hundred } London, and will also recure the services of an miles on such a road than a thousand miles over a | excellent stock company. Senorita Soto, the ele- decent line. By the bye, that wasa vory unworthy trick to givo out that the passengers going to and | the other members of the French troupe, will continue returning from the Pitteburg Convention could be carried at half price. When delegates and others applied, they wore told that unless they oould bring fifty persons together, thero would be no reduction! ‘That, of course, was impossible, and the hambug stood revealed. And all this is done in enlightened, | ryceum will re-open with a new manager—Mr. Wallack— honest, pins Pennaylranta—the “Keystone Mime!” | and » good company ; and, finally, Madame Tyseqyd is to and no doubt unlawful, breaking into asteore at Sa- lem, and seizing upon two thousand dollars’ worth of choice wines. The indignation of the crowd, who had collécted to witness this outrageous procedure, could hardly be restrained ; and some of the indi- viduals engaged in it were so severely pelted with miesiles, that they were obliged to take refugo in the City Hall. | Orr ¢ New Horeis.—Among the many other extraordinary evints and evidences of wealth, taste, and progress, which mark the present season in this mighty metropolis, there are none more striking than the number and magnificenge of new hotels which are springing up in different parts of the city, but more especially in Broadway, between Union Park and Canal street. Within the next month three of those elegant structures—the St. Nicholas Hotel, the Metropolitan, and the Prescott House— will be thrown open to the public, and several others are in course of rapjd construction. The Metropoli- tan Tuverupens on tue Urst or September, and the city and country papers are groaning under the most tremendous puffs, descriptive of the richness of its equipments and the completeness of all its appoint- ments, and boasting that a million of dollars has been expended on it. The St. Nicholas Hotel will be also opened on the same day, and it too isa most beautiful and elegant structure, possibly not so large as the Metropolitan, but it must recommend itself as one of the most complete and recherché es- tablishments of the kind ever erected in this city. It has a highly decorated front, of white marble, while that of the Metropolitan is of brown stone, with handsome architectural embellishments. The Prescott House is not so far advanced as the others, and will not be opened for probably amonth later. According to all appearances, the St. Nicho- las will be more adapted for Southern and South- Western travellers, and the Metropolitan will proba- ‘bly depend on Northern and Northeastern travel. The existing hotels in the lower part of this fr ) have been latterly inadequate to accommodate the public. During the past two months every one of them has been crowded to suffocation, and scores of applicants have had to be refused at the Irving House and Astor House, and were compelled to go to hotels up town. In a few weeks more, when the season closes at the watering places, we may expect the influx of great crowds of visiters and persons travelling in all directions, and the opening of those new hetels, at this time, comes in very opportunely to afford additional accommodation. Dancrrovs sea Barutnc.—During the last few weeks, we have seen accounts in the newspapers of a young lady who lost her life by bathing on New- port beach. Two persons recently lost their lives at Deal, near Long Branch, and two lives have also been lost at Cape May. These melancholy occur- rences generally take place every season at all these watering places, but it is seldom we have to makea record of an accident of this nature at tho east end of Coney Island, which presents a beach of a most regular description, and afforde as safe a place for sea bathing as any in the world. The sea bathing at Newport, Long Branch, Rockaway and Capo May is every where dangerous, in certain stages of the tide, to persons bathing ; yet, people from this city, and various parts of the country, crowd to such dangerous places in preference to a visit to Coney Island, which is a safo place for bathing,and far su- perior to any of these, and uncqualled in Europe or America. Yet, strange to say, no capitalists in this city have soen it to their advantage to erect a splendid hotel near Coney Island; and few of those of the wealthy classes who resort to sea bathing ever think of visiting Coney Island. Tue Turatnicat Beasox.—A few weeks will bring into the ¢ity all our people of wealth and fashion who ere lounging about the watering places, and then will com- mence the most brilliant theatrical season ever witnessed in New York. Some of the greatest musical celebrities of the world will be here to delight all lovers of music, puzzle the wits of the oyster house critics to find out new superlatives of praise for them, and impart an ex- traordinary eclat to the season. Alboni and Sontag, Ma- berlini and Catherine Hayes, each stars in the firmament of song, will combine in shedding lustre on it. Lumley, the great impresario of London and Paris, is making pre- parations to produce Italian opera, on a grand scalo, in thie city, Bosten, and Philadelphia. The Astor Place Opera House will open, for the first time since its puri- fication by the monkeys, and alteration by Mr, Thorne, with Madame Thillon and ® corps of superior artists. Niblo has engaged two actresses highly esteemed in legant Spanish danseuse, Mademoiselle Pougaud, and as the great attraction to that theatre, and it is even ru- mored that Cerito, the celebrated dancer, whois now at Madrid, will take ® trip over during the season. The Theatre is to be opened with the production of English opera, and we learn that negotiations are going on to form a short engagement with Charles Kean, The | gehooner Azof, arrived yesterday in 12 days from Salt Key, reports the crop of ealt as being much larger and of down.
