Wasminaton, July 1, 1854. The early adjournment of Congress is regarded here as an administration measure. It will in all probability be the means of confining the legislation of the session to the Nebraska bill, the ten million swindle, and the naked appropriation bills. Harbors and rivera are to be neglect- ed, the tarif is to remain untouched, the reorganization of the navy is (o be postponed, the Texan creditors must wait, all the private claimants upon the justice of Con- gress must continve to starve, the various bills matured by the several committees can be sold for waste paper. This isa beauti‘ul issue for the democratic party to go to the cotntry with in the fall elections. An eight months session and nothing passed but a till to save the Union. If the majority choose to call for reports of commit- + tees every morning for an hour, a] the committees will be able to be heard, and the cession may yet be not alto- gether unprofitable. There are at present, however, no indications of such a disposition. The administra- tion could easily induce a different feeling, but it don’t suit them. Ail they want is the plunder, and that they ‘have secured. Can any body tell what has become of General Wal- bridge? He has not been here for several days, and the session is drawing to a close.

AMERICAN VESSELS EMPLOYED IN THE SLAVE TRADE. Mr. Crayton, (whig,) of Del., moved to take up the bill reported by him some days since, to prevent the transfer of American owned vessels to be employed in the African slave trade. wae rae — - the Senator designed to push tad to its passage to-day. Mr. Crayrox—I will ra Tecan. Mr. Scmnzr—I have not been able to give to it that examination I would like to. As it now stoo@ it would require amendment, which he would feel compelled to move. To his knowledge one Senator intended to debave the bill at considerable He made these remarks by way of suggestion that bill be laid en the table for the present. Mr. Crayton said if the bill was to be defeated by such means, he wanted Americans to know it. It was a bill to suppress the African alave trade. The bill was taken up. Mr. Crayton moved several verbal®amendments, which were agreed to. He then said that there was a large foreign force on the coast of Africa, to arrest and cap- ture slavers. This act would have the effect of making that force effective, for it would take away the nation- ality of all vessels of that coast sailing under the Ameri- can fag with no other Papers but sea letters. At pre- sent igen slavers could not be arrested by foreign vessels. Mr. Hants (dem.) of Me., said he would vote for the bill as it now but_he thought it could be nude more effectual. There was no commerce Letween the Atlantic coast of South America apd Africa which was not connected with the slave trade. This bill ought to be amended so as to prohibit abrolntely all trade between those points in American owned vessels. The requirement that all vessels sold, &c., ehallreturn to the United States for a new i ought not to apply to sales made in the ports of th America. The distance was too great. The abolition of all trade between South America and Africa, in Ameri- can vesels, would be more effectual than to require them to return for new registers. Mr. Crayton seid he was unwil to take such a step, which might tend to the injury of the great principle of the encouragement of American shipbuilding and navi- ation. £ Mr. Prrrrr, (dem.) of Ind., moved to amend, by ap- propriating ‘ann $250,000, to be placed at the dis- of Amerfean Colinization Society, to enable to establish a line of armed steamers between graetpet ports of the United States and the coast of A 3 MS cael said the amendment was out of place in 1 i, Mr, Pernt -said-it properly. belonged to this bill. - He * would never consent to the withdrawal of our le eo » afin ape until some provision was made for rs place. Mr. Hunter, (dem.) of Va., opposed the amendment, end Mr Burant, (dem.) of Ind., su, ‘ted it. ‘The bill was then postponed till Wednesday. THE FINAL ADJOURNMENT.

City InteDigence. MURDER IN FRANKFORT STREET. Another murder was committed about 1 o’clock this morning, in Frankfort street, near Pearl. Edward Bogan, a native of Ireland, residing in Gold street, near Frank- fort, was shot in front of a porter house, No. 64 Frank fort street. The ball entered his left temple and he expired almost instantly. A large crowd soon gathered around, and it was reported that some difficulty had occurred in the porter house, which, it is said, iskept by an Englishman, between de- ceased andothers, and itis said that he was shot from the second story window of the house. In consequence of this story being freely circulated, the ory was raised to tear down the house, which would probably have been carried into execution but for the presence of a strong police force. The body of deceased waa conveyed to the Fourth ward station house. No arrest had beea made. Deceased leaves a wife and several children. FUNERAL OF Mapame SUSANNE MESZLENYI.—The youngest sister of Louis Kossuth was buried yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock. The funeral was attended by a very large number of the friends of the deceased, among whom ‘were some of the most distinguished foreign exiles in our country. The lid of the coffin was open.at the late resi- dence of the departed, No. 180 Ninth street. The corpse was enclosed in a leaden coffin, closely soldered up and air-tight before placed in the ground, and this enclosed by a rich rosewood cofin, upon which was @ plate bearing the name, age, time of birth and death of the deceased. The society of Turners, accompa- nied by a band of music, joined in the obsequies,- carrying the american flag and the banner of the so- ciety, draped in black. funeral procession was formed on Ninth street and Broadway, a little after two o'clock, and with slow and solemn pace, moved to the Rev. Dr, Phillips’ church, on Fifth aveaue, tween Eleventh aud Twelfth streets. Here the Turners formed themselves irto two lines in front of the church, ard between them the coffin was carried by the pali bearers, six in number, into the church, where the rell- gious ceremonies were performed. The Rev. Dr. Phillips read the prayers, after which the Rey. Dr. Meander de- livered a sermon in the German language, followed by a sermon by the Rev. Dr. Cheever in Eo, lish. The corpse was then placed in the family vault of Mr. Douglass, Voluntarily offered to the friends of the deceased, after which the funeral cortege dispersed. Satr Water Batasix New York—Necessity or an Ia- TROVED Systsm.—Verily it is said New York is a great city—the commercial emporium of the New World— the metropolis of America—the home of music, _ fe arts and the drama; but she has many sad deficiencies tmong them. None is more easily perceptible than the | want of proper salt water baths, of a size demanded by a city of seven hundred thousand inhabitants, and got up in astyle worthy of being sn ornament to the Empire City— baths where the bather might enjoy the same accommo- dation’ as at Newport. or Cape May, and of modern structure—not the old, dilapidated concerns, that disgrace the water line of our city ; baths where one of the luxuries of the season could be obtained when the ther- mometer is up to 90, without any of those abominable drawbacks, in the shape of wet clothes, produced by the admission of all sorts of vagabonds into the same build- with respectable people, the chief aim of the former eines it would seem, to annoy the latter as much as pos- sible. Such is the convenience that at present a city with no equal on this continent demands, and which, if supplied by some enterprising, business like and affable gentle- man, would receive the hearty supportof an ever indulgent and discriminating community. The baths that our citizens are obliged to to are too old fogyish, too much behind the age, for the goshead people of this day. We want something grand and mvgnificent, well managed and respectable—some- thing that will compare in it of excellence to anything of the kind ever established in Europe, or, in fact, equal to those of the Alhambra, that we read of in an- cient history. Why ehould we not have it? Are we not as wealthy as the People of any other city ou this con- tivent? Is not New York (he chief city of America, whither the various productions are drawn from all por- » tions of the globe, on an immense scale? Then most cer- } tainly we can mers anything that deserves the patron- e of our people if any city in the world can.. When the enlargement of the Battery is, therefore, completed, ‘we expect to see a floating palace with its minarets tower- ing to the sky, which to the stranger, a» he enters the Narrows, will be emblematical of the wealth, the great- ness, and the beauty of New York. Let us abolish the relics of ‘old antiquity” and filth that now disgrace our city with their clumsy ap- ance outside, and their misery and uncleanii ide. Nature has afforded no city in the world more naturel advanteges. With magnificent rivers te on both sides, and our capacious and beautiful bay stretching far to the south, where could baths be con- structed on s grander scale and with more facility than in New York? Mors Anout Worms.—We have another communica- tion upon worms and millers, a subject of interest at the present time, when our parks swarm with them. New York, June 29, 1854. To THR EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Sin—A day or two ago I saw a letter from a correspon- dent in your paper, in reference to means for Pant ing the miller moth, the products of whose eggs, hatch- i rf ch & nuisance to pedes- fow, T have made natural histo and would like to por abject, It would be just as well and far easier to destroy the grubs than the moths, and wouldbe more effectual, for the latt rmey ha before they jump into the fire, which your previous cor- respondent recommends; the former. however, are now lying closely packed together in the hollows of the bark of the trees the worms formerly inhabited, and auy one desirous of keeping his ground free from the millers, has only to go and cruah the grabs or sprinkle a weak nitric acid over them. This will not hurt the trees, but free garden from the pendant worms next 6 ring.

It.is a complete and proves what we have repeatedly asserted, that racing, conducted a6 il cLould be, with strict regard to the rales of pro- priety and decorum, and the proper discrimination inthe cheracter of the herses, would be hberally supported hy this community. At the same time, it may be well enough to observe that it is necessary to have first clase herses and liberal purses to con- tinue to deterve the favor of the public. A marked feature in the proceeding» of the past week has been the regard paid to tie observance of order by all who have attended. No disturbances of any Kind have taken place, and all the racea have eome off without giving the slightest dissatisfaction something to boastof when the low ebb to which racing had fallen in this section of country is taken into consiceration, and goes far to show tlie charac- terof the people who Lave been in attendance. The attendance of a large number of ladies is avother feature worthy of retaark, whieh gave an air of fashion and respectability, never before seem ob a race course in America. The ludies, too, seem, ed highly delighted with the sport, ‘and appeared now to readily understand why gentlemen should be so fond of visiting race courses, a mutier pre- viously beyond their comprehension. As the rai progresced they became so interested in the result that betting rap high among tuem, and white kids were freely bet on their favorites. As the horses came up the home stretch, the ladies became nearly frantic with delight and amazement, and with shouts and waving of handkerchiefs cheered their favorites onward. Besides that portion of the stand reserved for ladies, which was crowded, num bers occupied seats within vehicles inside the en- closure. It would be difficult to estimate the number present, but it is safe to say that it has never been equalled before; and we are inclined to the opinion that the extensive accommodations now appropria- ted to them will be found far too limited ou future cecasions, and must of necessity be enlarged. It will be well to have an eye to this before the altera- tions and improvements now making are completed. Tbe entire number of persons within the walls of the National Course yesterday may be vari estimated at from fifteen to twenty thousand—an attendance unparalleled, considering the character of the entries announced. Had Lexington beet entered for the four mile purse against Highlander and Blonde, as the public were led to believe would be the case previously, the field could hardly haye contained the crowds that would have flocked to witness the race. Mr. Ten Broeck alleges, as a rea- son for not running Lexington, that the horse has just recovered from the distemper, and he did not consider it eafe to run him at present, particu- sixth an larly when he had other engagements, This was not generally known, and we heard much_ dissatisfaction expressed against Mr. Ten Broeck, it being asserted that his horse was fit to run, and was only withheld because the peopsies would not give him one-third of the proceeds of the course. But we have nothing to do with thismatter. It is enough to know that his not Las caused pee disappointment. Arrange- ments, however, have been made to avoid all future disappointments as to fine fields on all occasions; and at the fall meeting, we shall have such an array of horses as was never exhibited ona race track in this country. Besides those which are here now, and will remain, Red -Eye, One Eyed Joe, Fanny Fern, Vandal, and a host of others will be here, te contend for the prizes offered. Negotiations are in contemplation for the purchase of Lecompte, whe beat Lexington over the Metairie course in 7:26, and is now considered one of the fastest, if not the fast- est, horge alive. This horse will be a great acquisi- tion to the Northern Turf. The winners during the week have beem prinoi- pally Glexcoes, that family being more fully repre- sented than any other. There were very few ot the et of Boston present, and only two ran, White ye and Di Clapperton. We heard many in- quiries during the week from persons not conversant with turf matters, in regard to Glencoe. To satis! public curiosity on that head, we will merely remai that he was foaled in England in 1830. He ran un- til he was five years of age, during which time he was twice beaten by Plenipo. He was then with- drawn from the turf, and at the age of seven years was purchased by Mr. Jas. Jackson, of Florence, Alabama, for two thousand guineas, and brought by Mr. Lorimer to this country. He never rane race in America, but is the sire of many wig- nere—Highlander being considered his best son. The first race yesterday was mile heats, for which three horses were entered, bien eo, started in the race—Garret Davis and The other having been sold, was withdrawn by new owner. rret Davis was the favorite at 100 to 30 previous to.the start, but after the first heat it was dollars to cents. He won very easily, and was never put up during the race. First Heat—White Eye won the pole, and had a fine send off, going to the turn three or four I ahead, and at arapid rate. He was allowed advantage until near the ion House, on the back stretch, when Garret Davis’made a dash, went by him, and led home an easy winner by twenty yards, in 1:50%. Second Hiat—White ed had another good send off, and was half a dozen lengths ahead onthe up- er turn, the rider of Garret ee | him back un- fi they reached the lower tnrn, where he slid by him quickly, and beat him to the stand an open length. Ttme, 1:514. The four mile contest, being the great event of the day, was now anxiously awaited. The interval be- tween the races was occupied in speculating on the robabilities of the race, and betting was done at 00 to 5 in several instances, and even lower, 80 well were the public posted up on this occasion. - lander looked as well as usual, and Di Clay better than we ever saw her.
