ate abolition of slavery in the District of
Columbia, and the immediate prohibition
of the slave.trade between the States,
and to oppose the admission into the T.
Mon of any new States whose Constitu-
ton tolerates slavery" have made a re-
port concluding with the following reso-
l~ulions.
Resolred, That is inexpedient to change
the Constitution and laws of this State,
SO far as they recognize a distinction in
political rights among persons on account
ofcolour.
Resolred, That, in the opinion OF this
Assembly, the immediate abolition of sla-
very in The District of Columbia, against
the wishes Of the inhabitants, and Wills.
slavery exists in the States Of Virginia
and Maryland, would be inexpedien. and
unjustifiabIe.
Resolred, That an immediate prohibi-
ton, by Congress, of the slave.trade be.
tween the States, is Inexpedient, uncon.
siitutional, and dangerous.
Resolred, That the conditions upon
which new States are entitled to admission
into the Union are prescribed in the Con.
s~titution ; and that it would be unwise
and unjusiifiable to agitate the question
whether the recognition ofslavcry by n
new State falling within the principles of
the compromise adopted on the admis-
sion OF Missouri, would be a valid obiec.
ton TO its admission into the Union.

The District Court Of the U. States for
New York, has been engaged during the
week in several trials Of Captains Of
steamboats, for infractions of the late law
passed by Congress, to compel the use Of
iron tiller ropes. The case upon which
the rest hinged was that against Capt. J.
Stone. In his boat he had used iron rods
the whole length Of the boat, and only
used ropes at the end where it came
round the wheel. This was admitted,
and the defendant relied principally on
the following points in his defence:
LIST. That the law was not constitutional, in as
much as Congress has no right to r. gulate the in
ternsl aud navigation between the
States: And,
.. That by the 1lth section of the Act the mat.
ter does no. come within the jurisdiction OF the
Court, but that the suit should have been brought
at New Haven, where the defendant resides.
Both these positions were overruled,
and the jury rendered a verdict OF $500
penalty and 6 cents cost. 1t is under.
stood that an appeal will be taken. Much
difference Of opinion exists as to the con.
stitutionality of the law in question:
Judge MCKINLEY, U. S. District Judge
at New Orleans, Of whose legal acumen,
however, we have no very high opinion,
lately decided that the law did not or
could not extend to rivers, but only seas
and lakes. And other Jurists have deci-
ded that U. S. jurisdiction only extends to
tide pdter. 1t is we'll that the question is
to be taken to our highest acknowledged
tribunal, there to be settled.

an authentic source in Washington, is
published 10 the last Richmond Enquirer,
IN which it is stated, that Mr.. Stevenson,
our Minister at London, has succeeded 10
making an arrangement with the British
Government, by which it is stipulated that
the value of the slaves shipwrecked, some
eight or ten years ago, upon the Bahama
Islands, shall be paid TO the claimants.
The letter says, This, if true, (and there
is no reason to doubt it) is no, only inn

view, as it establishes a grea, and impor.
tant principle. The arrangement, is said
to do ample justice to the claimants, as
1t secures to them the full value of their
property, with interest. The arrange
ment secures to the claimants nearly
$500 a piece for their slaves, including
men, women and children-more than
was ever allowed on any former occasion
