BUILDING OF THE SIX STEAM FRIGATES, PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS, From Washington. THE NEBRASKA BILL—TACTICS OF THE OPPOSITION— AN ALL NIGHT SESSION DETERMINED ON, ETC. Wastmsaroy, May 9, 1854. It is intended to close the debate on the Nebraska bill on Thursday, after which the five minutes rule will pre vail. It is said that many Southern members friendly to the bill declare that they will not vote for it unless the Giayton clause is inserted. But were this dono, many Northern men would fly off the handle. We think the South are determined to take the bill in any shape which repeals the Miscouri compromise. It will be a vory close yote—the chances being that the majority either way will not be more than five or six. There are charges 0 the administration buying up votes, but they are not well authenticated. The “revolutionary”? dodge of calling ayos and nays: and the opponents of the moasure not answering to their names, 60 as to leave the House without a quorum, was commenced this evening. It will be extensively practiced before the debate is over. But as such prac- tices only delay the public business without altering the result so faras the will of the majority is con- cerned, it is questionable whether the country will be gratified at such smart tactics. It is probable the House will sit all night to-morrow— that is now the understanding. The friends of the Ne- braska bill are determined that the contest shall not be 8 commercial point of \“i¢y, it would make no ifference to us if Russia occupieu *l of Turkey, because our trade with the Inter smousite peer sntl aed jew cargoes 8.

If we would avoid the scenes which brought us to the War of 1812, there should be a unanimoua declaration by Congress of our neutral rights—not by a treaty—anil there shoukl be a unanimous request that the executive should proclaim our position, which was included in the term, ‘“Freo ships make free goods—no papers overhaul- ¢4 but sbip's papers.”” This is good maritime law, ac- Rnow! ferent times by different European na- Mors—Englané not exorpted; and it is American law as- eerted by the early statesmen of the country.

History shows that she as inflicted wrongs om every nation whiely has stood in the way of ber assumption.

He oaid that in the pre- sent war England means tonct towards neutrals just ao she pleases—profesaing, at the seme time, deep regart for our interests, He ‘aske!

Scarce Iya paper reaches the Jepresentatives of that State in se, which is not urgent upon the subject. Hi sharcd is that fooliog. “It Whe geetlemeny meetin Ce tenda to ihe views of Louisiana regarding the Spanialt poliey, he would ray, as his belief, rom a variety Of sovrees, first asserted in the Governor's Message, vi- though, 05 a nation, we have been. protesting we ' never subinit to transfer Cuba to a foreign governn yet there was no time when Cuba was not under the con trobof Franeo ana Eugland, and is used as an an- Boyanco ageinst us which would not be toler- ated by them if ‘we eld the island, Ho thought the conviction of his district way that Spain would never part with the island. — If severed, it must be by violence. It is the conviction of his constituents that France and England unite with Spain in the sentiments of Spanish statosmon—‘ We would rather sink the island than transfer it.” ‘Those feelings result frem an intense hatred of our free insti- tutions. He believed, therefore, it became: us to con: sider whether foreign governments shall have the right to protect the unjust power of Spain, and whether we have not the right to interfere for the protection of the subjects of that power. He believed there was a well- settled convictlon of the people as to what course this unnecessarily delayed. OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN—THE INSTRUCTIONS TO OUR MINISTER, THE DEMANDS ON THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT, ie F The Prevident’s message with regard to our relations with Spain, will probably be delayed till after the dispo- sition of the Nebraska bill. It will cover the instrue- tions to Mr. Soulé, and also contain copies of the Matan- zaw cases, which are eaid to exceed even the outrages already communicated. It will be found that Mr. Soulé’s original instractions which he took out, directed him (o inform the Spanish government that under no circumstances would the United States permit the interference of any third Power government should pursue. It is this: After having [epee against 2 Repepecen the island, and seen Eng- d always dictatirig the government, revising the laws, and sending ws despatches with referonce to. her policy; if Congress contents itself with the manly sentiments of the President, we will justly be degraded in the eyes of the world. Our citizens have been subjected to ontra- geous and flagrant wrongs. We have not bsen able to ob- tain a guarantes against their repetition, against future offences; with Spain refusing to form @ commer: cial treaty, and with her laws against our commerce; with the knowledge that Spain is acting with France and England, and exerting her power in Cuba on its do- mestic institutions, to influence our own, the time has come when, in principle and in fact, we should abate the nuirpnce. How would you abate the nuisancey Do it inn open, manly, and direct manner. He would lot it be known that individual wrongs are regarded aa national in any negotiations which might arise with regard to Cuba, and that such interference would be promptly re- sisted. He was also directed to state, in the most une- quivocal language, that the United States would not al- low Cuba to be placed under the protection of any other Power than Spain. It could only belong to Spain or the United States. Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Mason were alxo instructed to acquaint the English and French governments with this determination. With regard to the rumors of an in- tended apprenticeship scheme, by which the negroes in Cuba were gradually to be emancipated, Mr. Soulé was instructed to inform the government of Spain that if such a scheme were put in practice, it would,at once bo viewed by the United States as a cause of war. ‘The instructions sent in consequence of the Black War vior affair, repent the instructions first sent, and direct Mr. Soylé to demand damages not only for that outrage, but also for all the accumulated outrages of the last twenty years—in fatt,. ‘al the cages-commua- nicated to Céngreas, Ta Tr, Soule was to insist upon the Captain Gencral being clothed with power to settle any fature differences which might arise, without riferring the matter to his government. The cespatches received from Mr. Soulé ennounce that he bas comylied with his instructions; but we are in icf pated at the date of his last despatches. As he was not instructed to demand the recall of the Captain-General, and makes no mention of having done so, the rumors to that effect are doubtless erroncous. It will be seen from this that our relations with Spain arein a moet critical position. Our government has taken such a decided stand that it cannot recede a single step with henor. On the other hand, it is scarcely probable, looking at the prominent characteristics of the Spanish people, that such sweeping demands will be agreed {o. @ne thing is certain, unless Spain gives the neceseary sa@faction without delay, war must ensue.

He trusted that this government will have the energy, and that tho re- pretentatives of the people will have the firmness, to pro- elaim our rights and stand by them to the last. Mr. Zouiscoryen, (whig) of Texas, advocated the Ne- braska bill.

Lo sustained by the courts against the action of Congress, and much to-the mortification of both houses, urless he had read law for thirty years to no. parpose. He rpol.e against tho policy of repealing the act. Mr. Cox, (whir) of Ky., while he believed this bill ould be passed, to quiet the country, did not conceive hat its opponents are unpatriotic. He argued to show that the North never regarded the Missouri act of 1820 ae a compact; therefore it came with » badgrace from the North to accuse the South of sceking to violate a compact. Mr. Davis, (dem.) of Rel., opposed the repeal of the | Missouri compromise, being altogether averso to carryiny slavery into territory now free. Whether this bill shal yass or not, the effects already produced, in arousing agitation in the North, were such as could not be avoid- ed. Slavery, be insisted, is inconsistent with true demo- cratic prineiples. Mr. Tayton, (dem.) of N. Y., remarked that the excite- ment which this bill eed is rapidly giving was to sober reason, which to right conclusions. He held to non-intervention in the local affairs of the Terri- tories, including slavery. The Missouri act of 1820 is a mere law, rej ble at the pleasure of Congress. At cight o’clock a motion was made that the commit- tee rise, but no quorum voted. ‘The rell was then called, | and 110 members answered to their names.

Mr. Batt, (whig,) of Obio, said he was uncompromis- ingly opposed to that portion of the Nebraska bill which propored to operate as a repeal of the Missouri compro- mice. He considered ita gross outrage and wrong on the yeorle of the North, threatening the peace of the whole country. - The Commi(tee rose, and at 10 o’clock the House ad fourned.

The Turf. UNION COURSE, L. I.—TROTTING. Yesterday afternoon a goodly number of turfmen | assembled at the Union Course, to witness a trot for a sweepstakes of $1,000, three mile heats, in harness, bo tween cr. g. Brimstone, and b. m. Lady Relief; and at the same time to ascertain the “state of the odds” on the race to take place to-day, hetween Gray Eddy and Truc John. The gray had the call. Before the nags were harnossed for the race, Brim- stone was the favorite at 100 to 60; but when the “warming up’? began, preparatory for the .struggle, Lady Relief exhibited #0 much more speed than Brim- stone, that achange took place in the foclings of the financiers, and betting became even on the issue. First He Relief won the choice of place on the track, and, as is generally the case, took the inside. The ‘‘ go |’? was given after a few ‘‘ faelers’’ on the part of Woodruff, and the mare took the lead, going te the quarter poles couple of lengths ahead of the ge forty-three seconds.

He passed the score thirty yards ahead, making the second mile in 2:45, and the two miles in 5:28. It was now evident to the crowd that the chance of the mare was reduced to a shadow, and notwith- standing all the efforts of her driver to urge her al Aho fell of snore and more. | The gelding displayed grea vigor and endurance on the last mile.

Terrible Steamboat Explosion. Say Francisco, April 15—P. M. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. ‘The John L. Stephens is just going off, but I cannot forbear giving you.a brief account of one-of tne most. affecting and terrible explosions that we beve had here since the Jenny Lind affair. A small steamer, called the Rearetary,, running es ¢ daily packet “betwee this city and Petaluma, about thirty miles “pao bay, exploded this morning, instantly killing about thirty persons and dongerouyly wounding ten or twelve others. Sho was on her u ‘trip, and bad on boa: wixty persons, all told.

EG From an extra issued at the office of the San Francisee: Commercial Advertiser, just previous to the sailing of the John L. Stephens, dated April 15, 4P. M., we have intel- ligence of a terrible steamboat explosion in the bay of San Francisco. The particulars are as follows:— This morning, about 10 o'clock, the steamers Secretary and Nevada left from Pacific wharf, bound for Petaluma. At 12 o'clock precisely, while Pablo bay, the Secretary burst her boiler, carrying death and. destrac- tion in‘ overy part of the boat to tho passengers, of whom a large number were on board. £0 great was the force of the explosion that the boat was literally blown to pieces. Tho Nevada happea- ed to be near, and immediately rendered = possible assistance. She im tely Pet, about after caring for the survivora and attending to the dead. Many persons were blown overboard, and their bodies not recovered. The Nevada arrived at San Vrancisco at Be'clock, with the survivors and the bodies of those re- covered.’ We learn from Capt. Travers, of the hy that the scene on board after the explosion was awful— | the groans of the dying and wounded, and the lamenta- tions of those whose friends were lost, boart- Tending. ‘The following is a correct list of the killod, missing an@ | wounded, as far as ascertained | KLILED AND MISSING. itteodere A.
