ARRIVAL OF .2HE CITY OF MANCHESTER.
hThe serP\v-steamer, City of Manchester, arrived
ere yesterday morning with 140 passengers and
5i24,178 in specie, also New York dates to the
15th inst. The Niagara had arrived out.
_ The news is not of very great importance. The
President officially informed the Senate that the
yacht Wanderer had landed a cargo of Africans on
the Southern coast, and also that the government
Was making every effort to bring the guilty parties
to punishment. A memorial for a lino of mail
steamers from New Orleans and Mobile to various
ports in the Gulf, was presented and referred. A
resolution allowing Captain Hartstene $2,000 for
expenses incurred in connection with the restora-
tion of the barque Resolute to the British govern-
ment, was adopted. A call was made on the
Secretary of the Navy for details of all contracts
for furnishing live oak. The Senate decided, by a
vote of 34 to 32, to lay aside the private calender
and take up the Pacific Railroad Bill. An ani-
mated debate ensued, for and against the proposi-
tion. An amendment, providing that any contract
l;tade by the President be submitted by him to
ngress and take effect only by joint resolution,
was adopted. An attempt to re-commit the bill
failed by a vote of 29 to 23, and a motion to lay it
eu the table was defeated-29 to 27.
14 the House an unsuccessful effort was made
to obtain leave to report a bill providing for the
admission of Oregon into the Union. The dis-
cussion on the motion to refer the Naval Appropri-
ation Bill to the committee of ways and means
as then resumed, but without arriving at any
decision on the question the House went into
Committee of the whole, and devoted the re-
ainder of the session to speeches on the aborga-
r„n_ of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, domestic
Ouues, &c. In Congress, Mr. Seward introduced
In the Senate a bill amending existing acts for the
suppression of the African slave trade. It provides
for the employment of steamers for the capture of
%.I.Blwvers, authorises States to pass laws to suppress
the traffic in foreign slaves, and appropriates a
Trillion of dollars to carry into execution the pro-
'Visions of the bill- It was referred to the judiciary
'committee. A resolution was offered, directing
the Secretary of the Treasury to prepare a plan
for raising revenue adequate to the wants Hof the
government, by the imposition of specific instead
of ad valorem duties, also to furnish all needful
information 'on the subject of specific duties. A
bill was introduced to establish a line of steamers
between American and British ports.

Governer Medary, of Kirnsas, has sent a special
messenger to Governor Stewart, of Missouri, an-
nouncing that Montgomery is fortifying himself
near the Missouri line, and that litnited States
troops have been sent to keep him in order. He
also announces that volunteers are being raised as
rapidly as possible.
By ,the arrival of the Isabel, at Savannah, an .
the Empire City at New Orleans, we have advises
from Ilavannah to the 10th instant. The slave
trade is reported to be very active ; nearly 2;000
Africans having recently been landed on the
island. The projected land and submarine 'tele-
graph line between Savannah and Cuba has been
`commenced. Sugars dull and exchange advancing.
The New York Terald, of a late date, says :
There was a mass meeting of foreign patriots, refugees
'and socialists last evening, at the _Metropolitan Rooms,
11,1 Rester-street. The speakers addressed the audience
11 five languages. The dullest of the addresses was that
.delivered in English by Signora Mario. The audience was
'too foreign to appreciate the lady's eloquence. Had it
been otherwise the meeting would have been very enthu-
`siastic, as the speech was a regular bombshell into the
T.allip of the enemy. There was considerable consump-
,;nn of lager beer and cigars in the same building where
Lfae meeting was held, which was entertainment enough
°r many who could not understand English, so that all
seemed pleased.
