The Hon. John 0. Palfrey, of Cambridge, who pre-
sided, announced that Mr. Hale accepted the Pitts-
burg . nomination for the Presidency. He then
eulogised Mr. Hale's ability, patriotism, and his
firm and eloquent advocacy of free soil principles,
and said the free soil senators and representatives
could never be silenced or put down. The free soil
party was rapidly growing, and wu bound to take
possession of the government—then the constitution
would be interpreted as their forefathers intended,
and not before.

The proceedings of the United States Senate and

domestic interest. _ _ _

The committee of the Senate reported on the 28th
an amendment on the Civil and Diplomatic Bill for
the recompense of ministerial officers in the service
of the United States, when they incur extraordinary
expenses in the prosecution of their duties, to which
Mr. Sumner moved to add :—" Provided that no
inch allowance shall be made for expenses under the
act of Septereber, 1850, known as the Fugitive Slave
Act, which act is hereby repealed." In support of his
motion Mr. Sumner made the speech on the Fugi-
tive Slave Law which, on a recent occasion, was
refused a hearing. Considerable debate followed,
after which the proviso was rejected, it having re-
ceived but four votes. The amendment proposed by
the committee was agreed to.
The Rochester Board of Health report six deaths
by cholera as having taken place on the 28th and
27th.
Of the harvest the NOD York Herald says:—
We receive this morning intelligence from different por-
tions of the country in relation to the crops of both cotton
and provisions. In some sections we learn that the worm
has sommenced its destructiveness upon the cotton, while
from others we hear that the planters are rejoicing in anti-
cipation of ea abundant yield. On the whole, judging from
the intormation we have received, we are inclined to the
opinion that it will, at least, turn out an average yield,
more particularly u the rattee of the worm have com-
menced so late, when the crop is in such an advanced stage
GS to put it out of their power to destroy it to any great ex-
tent. The wheat harvest has been most abundant, and
from all parts we hear the most glowing accounts of yield.
The prospect for corn is at present uncommonly cheering.
With one or two exceptions, the yield throughout the
country will be greater than ever before known, and in an-
ticipation of which the price in different localities is already
beginning to recede.
The United States ecnsul at Acapulco had been a

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Daily Tribune, writing on the 25th ult., says:
The quarrel between Mr. Polk, of Tennessee, and Mr.
White, of Kentucky, has been settled without bloodshed.
Mr. White is in every way an honourable man, and one
whose reputation needs no exhibition of personal courage.
The affair between Mr. Polk and General Cullom is yet en•
*staid, Mr. Polk, upon whom the onus rests, choosing to
remain quiet so far. It is quite likely the quarrel will be
laid on the table, and perhaps come up neat session among
the unfinished business, if it should not happen to be settled
in Tennessee during the c►nvass. Cullom is a man of noble
anal and lofty bearing, and will neither commit nor submit
to a dishonourable act.

The mackerel fishery to the north of Prince
Edward's Island was good, and the Nova Scotians
were also doing well. Papers from St. John, New
Brunswick, state that the crops throughout the colo-
nies are as great as ever before obtained.
The Clarksville (Texas) Northern Standard learns
on reliable authority from Porter's Bluff, that Capt.
Stevens, together with his officers and be men, have

Texas for reinforcements.

The Empire City had arrived at New Orleans on
the 18th ult., bringing four days' later news from
Cuba. According to a correspondent of the herald,
the excitement at Havana relative to the publication
of revolutionary documents still continued, and many
more arrests had been made by the government. The
governor-general had announced that all persons con-
victed of being the authors of these publications
should be put to death. It was also reported that
several of the supposed offenders had been shot, but
the rumour was not credited. The Caccia de la Ha-
bana, in a recent number, gave currency to an article
of a very threatening tone, in which it was asserted
that the governor was
.partially acquainted with the
persons engaged in printing the revolutionary docu-
ments, even from the appearance of the first number,
but that he waited for more certain information of
the fact. The editors of the Picayune state that
they have seen a private letter from a highly credit-
able and responsible source, which states that many
of the Spaniards themselves were engaged in the
conspiracy, and that further seizures -of munitions
of war, &c., had been made. The yellow fever and
cholera were still prevailing on the island, but not to
so alarming an extent. Havana itself was quite heal-
thy. Robberies, asssasinationa and murders, coati-
nued almost of daily occurrence, the authors of which
generally contrived to escape. The growing crops
presented a favourahle appearance. Sugars were
arm, but rather dull The supply of coffee was
quite limited. Freights dull, and vessels abundant.
Adrian received by the Herald correspondent at
New Orleans from the city of Nitric° to the 3rd, and
Vera Cruz to the 17th of August, announce that the
revolution in Mazatlan remained in steam quo. The
it.surgents had, however, entered the city of °nada-
lajan, to defend which troops had been ordered out
by the President. The Ribaleda movement was daily
going forward, and the government was endeavour-
ing to effect a reconciliation. The port of Mazatlan
had been closed, by order of the government. In-
ternal disorders and revolutions were rife throughout
the entire country, and the Indians continued their
excesses in the frontier states. It is reported that
Gen. Manta has pronounced in favour of Arista as
dictator. The legislature of Vera Cruz had proposed
to the government to make a treaty with the United
States for the extradition of fugitives. There was
nothing new relative to the Tehuantepec route.
