Dr. Hicumx then offered the following resolu: ions :— Resolved, That the inadequate remuneration of the olergy of this country is almost a fatal discouragement to tho agpir- ante for the ministry.

Dr. Mrap moved to amend, by striking out the word “special” before the word “oflicer.”’ his amendment was not seconde, Mr. Craxu, of Rhode Island, moved to amend the reso- lution so it would read as follows:— Resolved, That in the judgment of this ho ant that a Secretary and’ General Agent b Board of Mi: #8 Over each committe of the constitution may require.

Dr. Vixtox, of New York, moved to insert the word “Dioceses” in the place of the word “Clergy”. Various other amendments were proposed, until the origiual resolution was entirely lost, and it was impossi- ble to say how it read with the many alterations. Rey, Mr. Vistox, of Mass,—This question has become very much entangled, through various amendments and alterations. I haye no objection to the resolution as originally reported, provided it is understood, as many contend, that the clergy are not bound by it. If this re- solution should be withdrawn, I think ail the rest of the resolutions will pass without dissent, I hope the wisdom of the committee presenting these resolutions, will induce them to withdraw this one. Judge Wisiase—I must cbject to the request of my friend from Massachusetts, to withdraw this resolution. I think this resolution is. the marrow of all the rest.

The Cuban Question—Extraordinary Ru mors. BRITISH INTERFERENCE—THE APPRENTICESHIP SYS- TEM, ETC. {From the Washington Union, Oct. 20.} The rumors which have prevailed for some time, as to the interference of Great Britain im the slavery ques:ion in Cuba, are revived, with circumstances of corroboration 80 «trong that there is but little room left for doubt as to thir truth. It has been about twelve years, if our memory is not at fault, since Sir Robert Peel justified the roposition to indemnify the owners of slaves in Jamaica for their emancipation, upon the ground that the measure of abolishing slavery in that isiand would exert an intlu- ence upon this continent, and that twenty millions of Pounds sterling would be well spent for such an object, ‘nat policy, as we believe, has bem steadily pursued by the British government, acd is now actually consumma- ted, or is about being consummated, in the scheme of in- troducing apprentices from Africa ‘into Cuba, with the consent of Spain, and under the protection of British ships of war, to be worked for ten years as slaves, with the fur- ther agreement that slavery shall cease to exist in the island at the end of Atty years. “We have reason to be- lieve, from our private advices from Havana, that wealthy Spaniards in Cuba are now negotiating for the sale of African apprentices at fixed prices, in anticipation of im- portations, for which arrangements have been made with the government of Madrid, and sanctioned and guaranteed by the British government. In that spirit of open-spoken freedom which ought to be the ruling characteristic of an American press, we deem it our duty to call the utven- tion of the American people to the information derived frgm there significant facts, It becomes us to survey thkm with calinnes and d ation. We would not indulge im passiounte denunciation, but we would speaic as we would have our goverament to act, with prompt: ness, firmness, and energy. As a question of humanity, the practical execution of the scheme of Africanizing’ Cuba is revolting to human nature. Jt has but to be looked at in this point of view to see in it @ revival, in its most hideous form, of the slave trade, Let it be remembered that the condition of the apprentice for the ten years of, his servitude is to be stripped of those features in the slavery of the United States which make humanity of treatment an object of interest as well as of duty to the owner. The apprentice is to be sold into bondage for ten years, and during that period is to be subjected to such system of labor and treatment as will prove most protitab’e to the exactions of unfeeling avarice. Ten years of such bondage will be in- finitely worse than a life-time of three score years and ten of the slavery which exists in our Southern States, Ten years will become the limit of physical capability in the apprentice; and if he survives this limit with life, it will only be his lot to take his freedom with no capacity to enjoy it. On the mere question of humanity, the sen- timent of the civilized world ought to rise up, and de- nounce it as too shockingly barbarous to be tolerated. But it is our duty to look at the movement in its in- tended and its probable bearing upon our national inte- rests; and in this point of view it presents a question of momentous magnitude. Forming our opinion upon well- authenticated historical facts, we are justified in attribu- ting to Great Britain now the same motive which Sir Robert Peel avowed in regard to the abolition of slarery in Jamaica—the motive of exerting an influence o» the institutions of the United States. If that motive was suf- ficiently strong in regard to Jamaica to induce so distin- guished a British statesman to advocate an expenditure of twenty millions of pounds, how much more potent may we not suppose the inducement to be as to the Af- ricanization of Cuba! But the question is not confined in its range to the probable influence which a vation of free negroes may exert upon the institutions of the South- ern States, and, consequently, upon the integrity of our federal Union, ‘Viewed in this light, the efficient action of our government is invoked by the ‘most obvious prin- ciples of self-preservation. Bearing in mind that this movement originates with, or st least owes all ot its hopes of success to the counsels and the interference of Great Britain, we cannot avoid the conclusion that as it is to be executed under the guarantees of the British navy. so it must be made effec- wal by a continued British protectorate over the island of Cuba,” The effect is the transfer of Cuba from Spain to Great Britain—making it substantially a British instead ofa Spanish province or colony. Ia this aspect of the case, the decided action of our government is demanded by that uniyersally-approved American sentiment which is prepared to resist at all hazards any attempt of any Eu- royean power to interfere with the affairs of thix continent Upon all these grounds the intelligence from Cuba indicates the approach of a crisis which must settle the destiny of the island: We have every assurance in the past cours of the Prerident and his cabinet that they will discharge their duty with firmness and courage; whilst we have equal guarantee that their action will be the result of the most deliberate and patriotic convictions. In view of a crisis so momentous, the heart of the ptriot President must swell with emotions of national pride to know thas, with the exception of a few contemptible fanitics, he will be backed and sustained to the lust extremity in his deter tion to follc tates of humanity i “, by the united vo people who are jealous of their ho of their rights, and who ai and property on the preservation ry al! the con: siderations of interest, of houor, of blood, we have ap- ealed to Great Britain to desist from her mad inter- ference in our domestic concerns; but owe appeal has been in vain, and we shall be compelled to throw our- selves hack upon our rights and our government, gaided Imsmin who bnows neither fear nor di City Politics.

Interesting News from the Amazon Exyior<- ing Expedition. OUR PABA CORRESPONDENCE. Port or Para, Sept.49, 1353. The Voyage from New York to Para—South Ame- rican Pilots—The Ship upon a Reef—Stuation of the Rock—Great Danger to the Vessel—Exertions of her Commander, Officers, and Crew, §c. Has promised ts inform you of any matters of note that might transpire, to my own knowledge, during my absence in South America, especially while connected with she Amazon exploring expedi- tion, and having at present an opportunity for com- municating a few words, I will give you some parti- culars, solely relating to the voyage hither and the vessel in which I sailed. The description of the ves: sel and her destination were probably published in the columns of your paper immediately after her de- parture from New York. I will, therefore, onsit stat- ing anything in that way at present. It is sufficient to say that we arrived at the mouth of the river Amazon, //"".°S prosperous run of twenty: five days. We had light but favorable winds during most of the voyage. The system—or rather no sys- tem—of piloting on the river from the seaboard to the city of Para, a distance of eighty-five miles, is odious in the extreme; there being but few pilots, most of whom are totally inefficient, and without suitable boats or regulations. By reason of these circumstances, our vessel was delayed nearly two days, and on the afternoon of the first day was in imminent peril of being lost. When the pilot was received on board he was taken out of the water, his boat having capsized and sunk while coming off to boardus. The occurrence being within our observation, the vessel was immediately ran down to them, one of the quarter boats lowered, and our sable and, as he afterwares proved, unlucky guide, was picked up, along with two others, who composed the crew of the boat. Our course was then shaped, by compass, for Para; and at eleven o'clock in the evening, when within twelve miles of her destination, the vessel, through the ignorance or stubbornness, or both, of the pilot, was run hard and fast upgn a hidden and dangerous reef of rocks, which lay Ralf a mile from the proper channel of the river. Shores were immediateiy rigged out on either side, and every thing done to keep her on an even keel, and prevent her from bilg- ing. She nevertheless sustained considerable dam- age, paring Soiared her keel and rudder and stove a hole in her bilge, her with a heavy straining of her whole frame, which caused her to leak almost be- yond the capacity of the pumps. Through the untiring watchfulness and superior skill of her commander, Ce Hadson, and the unremitting exertions ‘of on board, both paasen- gers aud crew, she was finally got off, after seve- ral houre of hard famping, and taken to Para, where we arrived this day, nearly exhausted through labor and fatigue. ‘To relieve a vessel from a position similar to the one in which this was Blsoed at that particular juncture, would verily be leemed almost a miracle in our own country, where steamers, lighters, &c., are usually brought into re- quisition; but where no such facilities and advau- tages are afforded, and all is to be effected ord by the trimmiug of the sails, and by veering and haul- ing on cables and bawsers, the test of a commander's abilities is inevitably applied, and his success, under such circumstances, will as surely redound: to his ul- timate credit and advantage.

Tarrived here in the Merlin last evening, but the vessel id not enter the port of St. George, where the sickness {s still prevailing, although, perhaps, not so alarmingly as at the date of your last advices. The disorder is not the common yellow fever of the West Indies, but a sort ef plague, black spots appearing on the surface of the bedy, which become ulcers, and those extending and connecting with each other until the entire body may be said to be in a state of decomposition before death has relieved the sufferer. The disease seems to have been engendered here, and sets at defiance medical skill, It is most fatal to Buro- peas, particularly among the military and convicts at reland Island, and it ia estimated that one-half of those who are attacked have died. The wind at present is from the northeast, which, under Providence, may have the efiect of mitigating the disorder, which, at first, I waa dis- posed to think was cholera in another form, but I find it generally runs through and sometimes carries off whole families, which has induced nve to forego that opinion.» Some persons suppose that it is an African fever which has been imported, but the chaunel cannot be ascertained. The fact is, every one—medical men and all—are at fault. As the vessel, via Baltimore, by which I send this is about sailing, Iumust abruptly conclude, with expressing a hope that the worst is passed, and that the next accounts from Bermuda will evtirely allay the anxiety of friends.

The fever has abated somewhat its virulence, probably owing to the searcity of victims; for St. Georges is now pretty well cleared out; all the civilians that could conve- niently leave have done so, and there are no treops left there except small guard for the protection of the pow- der magazine on Ordnance Island. I regret to say that the fever has lately been making sad havoc among the orphan children of soldiers that have died. ‘There have been a few deaths among the Artillery that were removed from St, Georges to Prospect Hill about a fortnight ago. The tick at Port Island are getting on favorably, as also at the Naval Hospital, Ireland Island, where, out of forty cases, but seven deatlis have oceurred.
