Much excitement exists throughout . the city regarding the affair. • The United States' de• puty marshals throughout yesterday and to-day vainly endeavoured to get on the track of Messrs. Clay and Cullom. Various absurd rutneurs are now is circulation, but it is under stood that the challenge has been withdrawn, as preliminary to a peaceful adjustment of the difficulties, which there is little, if any, doubt will be eff ec t e d according to present indications." Another and a later telegram says : Thera has been no duel yet between Clay and CullAn, and attempts are making for a settlement of the affair by a reference to Senators Crittenden, Toombs, and Kennedy. There - is reason to fear,. however, that these attempts will fail, and that there will be an exchange of shots." A further report was to the effect that the affair had been settled by Claj's withdrawal of the chal lenge, and the apology of Cullom. Two other gentlemen, e x -Li eutenant Rhi n d an d Capt. Corrie, ' 'had been held to bail in the sum ef 2,500 dols. each for their ;appearance before the criminal court for challenging and posting Com mander Bout well.

A delpa' ch from Kansas of the 13th ult. says : " An act was introduced into the house on Feb. 12, supplementroy to, he Constitutional Couventiou Bill. It changed the time of the assembling of the convention from the 4th Tuesday4a March to the 2d Monday in - April. . It gave the convention full power to say where the first general assembly under the constitution to be farm. d should meet ind when the constitution should b e submitted to the people. This act passed both branches of the Le gialat-ure, and was sent to the governor for his ap proval. He pocketed it, ant will thua defeat it, as sufficient time does not remain for the Legislature to take any action in regard to it, should the'go vernor keep it three days. A mill is bill was yes terday paved over the governor's veto. _ This bill drys not differ materially from th e one passed at the extra session, except that the p ower to call out the militia, which was first given to - the Mi litary Board, is now reserred to the Governor. An election was told fora board of officers under this law. The old board, at the head of which is Ma jot.- Gee. J. H. Line, was elected unanimously." The following resolutions were also passed • "Resolved, by the House of Represeetatives of the territory of Kansas, the Council concurring, that we do hereby, fer the last time, solemnly pro test against the acturission-cf Kansas into the "[felon under the LecoMpton Constitution ; and we hurl back wi-h scorn the libellous charge contained in the Message of the President accompanying fthe Lecompton Constitution, to the effect : that tee freemen of Kansas are a lawless people ; that, rely ing upon the juitice of our eau , •.e, we do hereby, in behalf of the people, solemnly pledge to each o her, to our Mends n Congress: and is the Slates, our lives, our f rtenes, and our SACI:Oi hOnours, t, resist the L - loom pton Cons ittitam.and Govern men t 113 , force of army if ncco say ; that in thin perilou4 tour of our 4tist .ry we appeal to the civilised world for the rectitude of cur position, and call u,,on the friends of freedom everywhere to array them-elves against this lass act of oppression in the Kansas drama.

The res lutions passed the house unanitiroisly: In the Council they passed, receiving two negative' votes—given by Messrs. Chalice and Mead.

At exactly 12 o'c'ock last evening the Go • vernor sent a message a. tee Muse declat rug that his connection with that body was dissolved.

The Legislature, however, takes a different view of the matter) and has decided to hold on till 12 o'clock to day. As exactly a quarter past. 11 o'clock lazkt night it was stated to the House that, the Ceustittetioaal . Co:k veutien Bill had been sent to the Governor three days before, and had not been returned. It was thereupon declared to be a law. The Legislature is holding • over until to-day in order to remove any doubts:tbat might exist in the minds of some with regard t o.the legality of the Conven.ion Bill."

With regard to the yield of gold, the Age of Jan. 16 sa3s : • "For several weeks we have received no startling intelligence from the diggings of new rushes and extraordinary luck. In fact, the occupation of the , gold seeker Is becoming every week a less fortuit ous and a more arduous one. Men do not now be take themselves to the diggiegs with eager hopes and a fair promise of fortune ; they aie driven thither by the scarcity of employineut in the towns, and the difficulty of obtaining a livelihood, how ever scanty, anywhere else. - The digger is giving peace to the miner, whose more elaborate opera tions require the outlay of capital, and the eeer else of such moral qualities as patience and perse verance in tle face of danger arid di-appeiutment —properties which were comparative'y iu small de mand in the days of surfec . ng and shallow sinking. The outfit indispensable to success, in the modern sense of the t,een—lhat is, not t',,e sudden discovery of a fortune, but the steady realisvion of a fair annual income, consists of far oilivr implements than the p:iatit:ve tub and cradle—in fact, the lottery of a di gger ' s lif e i s almost extinct, nut wtie ther as pod filers, gnarl z reefers, or deen-leid miners, men must be prep-.red to itmst their eapi tA in machinery, and to devote many works or months of toil to their shats and drives before tlie preci us product is secure d.

The auriferous earths which are avail able for ruder prrte;esees may belar from exhausted, but they lie beyond the bounds of our present digging., or are found in rare and scanty patches which have been. overlooked. Even the minimum yield per load or ton which machinery can render rrmunera ive is calcul tted by the dwt. rather than the oz., and considering the much greater cost of production in plant and 1 tbour, even the same gross yield of gold could not he regarded as indicating the equal richness of the lands.

Advices fr om Charleston, Savannah, and Mobile report a sight advance in each of those markets. THE " GREAT SOCIAL EVIL." It is a noticeable fact that, at the time our jour nals at home are discussing more frequently than usual " the great social evil" of our large cities, the same sad topic is exciting irecisely tie same attention and leading to the same remedial sugge3- Cons at Melbourne. Public meetings have been held in the colony, awl the deputations have ha 1 interviews with the Govein.r, with a view'to the adoption of means for the repression of rice. The rri Argus states that fealo prostitution prevails throughout the Australian colonies " to a frightful extent." "It has been proposed here (sap the Argus) to establish a Female Home for the accommodation of virtuous young women, both on their first arrival in the colony and during their intervals of non-employment. But any measures of protection we can devise here will be of little avail if the morality of our female imnaiera !ion be undermined before it reaches our shores. And it did not require the positive evidence adduced at the Melbourne meeting to establish the fact which many previous revelations had made notorious, that young female immigrants coming to those shores are subject to a succession of demoralising iufluences, lasting through the whi.le currency of their voyage ; that they are x. 1 posed, in the vast majority of case , ,- to asystematio con spiracy to corrupt them ; and that it is less than a mirae!E for a young girl, cent out to these distant s h ores without matronly protection d ur i ng the voyage, to land here the same itmoirtipt, pure-minded b e i ng t h at she was when she left her i rmateitohu for mother's roof. " All female em the fnture ought to partake of a family character. If households cannot come out to Australia undivided, to leave the shelterit is at least essential that no daughter of thea family should be allowed "Y no Witiloonft some place r d " f; t o r d e e e r fcr the this protecting character and & mine survel!lance person of her own six, of our cincience , iscretion. We should not acquit if we did not impress this matter upon the' earnest-and anxious consideration of all persons in E Vaud mandated with schemes of female emigration In the Sydneyjilforning Herald of January 9, we read :—" The first responsible parliament of New South Wales is dissolved. It was an utter impossi bility for the mini-try successfully to carry on the government. Their Land Bill, the cardinal mea sure iu the minds of the people at present, they. were compelled to withdraw, while the new Assess ment Bill, on which they depended fora large amount of revenue, was defeated by a majority of two. The division was followed by an adjournment, sub , equently by 'the proragation of the assembly, and finally by its dissolution. This • step, though it did not t Ike the country by surprise, has created no small amount of complaint againt-t the ministry. First, because it was with reason believed that the dissolution might well have stood over until the Electoral Bi:1 was passed; and second, b: cause the several measures of urgency, such as the Municipalities Bill and the District Courts Bill, which were so advanced in their stages through the legisla,ture, that they might without any inconvenieace have been completed before the leg,i,lature was dissolved. The abrupt manner too, in which the assembly was distnisted, without a word of excuse or apol , gy from the minister, created great dissatisfaction. The excitement now is as to the result of the new elections, which will commend next week and ter minate about the end of February. On Wednesday the new Exchange wrs opened— a grea':, event in the annals of the colony. This c-rerneny was performed by S r William Denison, at noon. His excellency was attend( dby the prin cipal t aim% of the executive, and th-re was a large and bril iant assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, with ti e customary gwird of honour outsidq.

As we anticipated, the advent of the new year has improved the general prospects and demand in the la bour market of this colony. Agricultural occupationa are being steadily pursued, and, through the wool market in London offoting so good a sa!e for pastoral prodnos, settlers appears to be turning their attention to sheep in proferenci to cattle. This morning I received an advice from a gentleman who is about to turn five of his cattle stations into sheep runs ; and from the quantity of cattle now going ov.rland to the Melbourne side, men for that rrnployrnent have been, and are still in favour, at from 303. to 403. per week. The current requirements comprise, amongst others, married couples, witlat.ut 'or with growing b,ys ; single men as agricultu ral labourers; useful young men, and light-sraight, lads ; and we anticipated a heavy demand within the next month for pastoral hands for the northern and southern districts.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The . Royal Mail steamship Niagara, Ca e tain Miler. arrived t o -d ay w i t h advises from Boston to the 24th ult., and from Now York, by telegraph via Halifax, to the 25th. She brought 68 passen gers, among whom was Sir J. G. L- Marchant, late Governor of Nova Scotia, and 253,714 doll. specie on fi eight. The Niagara experienced strong north east winds during the whole of the passage. On the 27th ult.., at 2.30 a.m., she spoke the Royal Mail steamship America, hence for Halifax aud Bost .n. The United States' mail steamship Belie arrived at New York on the 18th tilt - . ' and the Roy a l M a il steamship Africa o n th e 21st, from Liverpool, and the steamship Arago, from Southampton on the 23d. The Canalius mail screw steamer Anglo- Saxon, from Liverpool, arrived at Portland on the • 23d ult. lo Congress the question of Kansas was still uppera oil. During a discussion on the 231 Mr. Johnson and Mr. Bell had an altercation, which resul-ed in the latter creating a sensation by saying that he was " ready to meet the Senator at aby time, or any others who should back him." What the papers denominate a "duel mania" was preva lent. A Boston paper thus comments on tae matter : " We aro sorry to bear cf so many gentlemen at Wasliingt,n struggling under ''personal difficul ties.' When the great Co: , greesiona,l fracas was over, and Keitt came out of is less injured, or less ingenuous, ih in thererowned Yellow plush came out of the house upon the sidewalk on a certain oc casion—for Chawles' c indidly confessed, felt something behind ; I think it was master's too'— and Birksdale's wig went down in the brunt of the fray ;' we say when this was all over, and good humour appeared to be completely reAored, we supposed there was to be no morn breaking of the peace. But things have been ge ting worse, until the 'claA of resounding arms' is awaited in every te'egraphia desp itch from the southward. A chal lenge has pass. d between Col. Sumner and Gen. Harney ; Gen. Cullom and Hon. J. 13. Clay are said to be out on the field of honour ; Litut. Bell, of the Cavalry, has summoned Lieut. William, tithe Dinoons, to meet him wi h sanguinary weapons ; and ex-Liewenant Rhind has been held to bail for extending a similar invitation to Commander Bout well. Thus they go—Congress, army, and nay.;, all furnislrnz irate represen. ati ves, pugnacious with in an inch of their iivo,t y and na inch beyond." Tne intelligence respecting these " difficulties" had reached New York by tAegraph as follows . "BosToN, Feb. 21.—A recontre oc3urred at Parker's Hotel here th s mu on, the facts stated being as follows :—A Mr. L. D. Merrill, of this city, made a violent ass cult upon Mr. F. Birge, of New York, the former spitting in the latter's face, itc. Mr. Birge, after repairing to his room, again made his - appearanet-, and called on Mr. Merrill to account for the insult. A collision immediately took placo, during which Mr. Birge diseimrgel a pistol at Mr. Merrill, but without effect. They were separated, and both parties are now under arrest. VASIIINGTON, Feb. 21.—A fisticuff altercation occurred yesterday morning in a barber's shop underneath Willard's Hotel between Lieut. Bell, of the Cavalry, and Lieut. Williams, of the Dra goons, which may result in a duel, a challenge having passed between them." A la er despatch says— " Lieuts. Bell and Williams, who had a collision in a barb r's shop ors Sunday, went beyond Bla densburg this morning, at 5 o'clock, accompanied by their respective friends. It is said that Bell fired at the word ' one,' the ball from his pistol penetrating Williams' hat: Williams,° who was the assailing party, having given the satisfaction de manded, d scharged his pistol in the snow. The belligerents returned to Washington apparently re cohciled." But the greatest interest attaches to the dispute between the Hon. J. B. Clay and Mr. Cullom, the origin of which is explained by the Washing on , corresp ,ndent of the .A'etv York Tribune : Cullom entered the bar-room of Brown's Hotel, where Clay, Hawkins, and - Mason were standing. He proposed an old-fashioned Kentucky drink, in which tall the parties psrticipatei. SubsElttently he commenced conversation with Clay, sating how he had removed from Kentucky to near the Her mitage, in Tennessee, where he boarded the lion in his den. He spoke of his long devotion o the ad miration for his father. Mr. Clay answered by saying that General Leslie Coombs had once, as Chickasaw Ambassador, bearded the lion in his den. This expression, which some bystanders sup posed jocular, was regarded as an offens.ve report by Cullom, who asked if he meant to insult him. Clay disclaimed any such intention. The iiverro gatory was repeated, with the same reply, but wag accompanied with the menacing use of Cullom's finger, when Clay said he was not accustomed to be addressed in such a threatening mariner, or words to that effect. Cullom became more excited under the conviction of an intended insult to him, and d-nonuce I Clay as the a apostate son o f noble sire.' Clay said his physical condition was such as would prevent him from answering with a blow, but he could nut resist proclaiming Cullom a scoundrel. Whereupon Cullom drew back to strike. The force of the blow was partially arrested by the spectators, but still reached Clay's nose and caused it to bleed. The two men then vparated and withdrew. Clay called on Senator Johnson, of Ark, to act as his friend, and a peremp tory message was communicated to Cullom, to which acceptance was signified so soon as a compe • tent .second could be chosen. At 1 o'clock no choice had been made." A telegram of the 22d says : " The efforts to reconcile the difficulty between the Hon. J. B. Clay' and Mr. Cullom have proved abortive. They left Washington this afternoon at 5 o'clock, accompanied by their respective friends, for, it is said, a place about 40 miles distant. The probability is that they will fight to-haorrow ALI MOORAD KIIAN. The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of ihe Times : " ;n for assertion, I know not why Colonel Pottinger's should be considered of more value than that of other persons. '' The character of Ali Moorad Khan, Colonel Potiinger saya , was well known before Sir Charles Napier went to Scinde. It was so very favourably known, as the following communication from Sir James Outram to Sir Charles Napier, on the ar rival of the lat , er in that country, proves : Outram.—' Ali Moorad is by far the best of the Ameors. I wish you knew him. He is good looking, a frank open manner that you cannot help liking. I wish you could see him, you would be p'eased with him. At first he was quite opposed to us, and would have made war against us if the other Ameers kid joined him ; however, seeit g it was of no use to oppose uQ, he joined the alliance with us, and is the only one who has never given us cause of complaint. I am sure you will ltlic him.' " W. NAPIER, Lieutenant-General. March 9." FIRE AT PORTSMOUTH —On Tuesday morning a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Payne, hairdresser, Queen's-street, Port-mouth. The flames communicated to the house of Mr. Ricbard Newland, a stationer and gilder, and thence made their way to the house of Mr. FoNter, tailor, all of which were gutted. Fortunately the wind kept down, or more injury would have ensued. No lives were 10,t. "It is rumoured," says the Malta Tines, " that a telegram has been received here from the authorities in England to look to the state of the island defences ; and that in pursuance of that order a military commissi on is now sitting, of which the Lieut.-General commanding and the Colonels of the Royal Engineers an d Royal Ar• Puy are members." U 1 ~~ i / ;7j 7 3 7- ~~ ~j2t~ It is understood that Mr. Henry Fisher, wine merchant, of this city, will shortly file his schedule. Flis liabilities are said to exceed 120,000/. The firm of Purkis and Lambert, auctioneers of some standing, is reported to be involved with Fisher by endorsements on bills for nearly half this amount, and will not be able to work through. Another I firm of a similar nature, but smaller, is also talked of as being likely to suspend. Otherwise our trad ing circle is in a sound and healthy state. The political world is fully occupied with the approaching general election—a dissolution of the Ass , .!tnbly having taken place last month in con sequence of the ministerial defeat on the Assess ment on Stock Bill, and numerous candidates for legislative honours are busy in the field. Messrs. Cowper, Campbell, Wilshire, and Dailey, Mr. G. Thornton, ex-mayor, and a Mr. Fowler, parlia mentary reporter, are canvassing for the city. Two members of the ministry, Mr. Jones, Coloni a l Tree surer, and . Mr. Murray, Secreta r y for Lands and Works, have resigned. The first vacancy h as been filled by Mr. R. Campbell, but the Land Da p,rtment is still without a head. - The. Sydney Exchange was formally opened on the 30th ult., by tha Governor-General. 'Change hour is fixed at 2 p.m. to 2.30 p.m., and the attend ance has been good. The weather has been intensely hot for some time oast. On Christmas Eve a h. wind prev-tiled, durin g winch thermoin:iter stood at 104 (legs. in tnt. shade, and 143 deg.. in a spot expo , ed to the sun and wind. ~This last resemblod the blast I oat a fez-Dace, and lit - twiny scorched the flees - of tho,e whom bu3iness 6ompeLed to go abroad. The announoemeot that the Panama line is not to be est. bushed creates great dissatisfaction, not unmixed with just indignation. Indeeil this colony has the strongest reason to complain of the shame ful way in wriich, it bas been treated in the matter of steam postal communication. However, we are determined to have the Panama route ; and if no English company will undertake it, perhaps our Transpacific cousins may be tempted by a liberal subsidy to run a steamer monthly to the Isthmus. With regard to the Suez line, it is now quite clear that if the present company does not improve in its arrangements and performances, this c lony will cease to be a party to the contract.
