dy, with the following beautiful remarks:
An impressive lesson forces Itself upon the
mind This case rencws the sad truth, often
developed in human records, that neither wealth
nor station, neither education, accomplishments
cultivated tastes, nor domestic endcarmcnts, are
suihclen, securities against crime. There i, but
one certain safeguard, but On secure protection
against it, which detcs all the assaults Of tcnpta
tons and evil passions and that is religious prn-
Ciples.-Chrstianty is the only boon that projects
the feet Of men from the slippery paths Of trans
erosion Crime finds no harbor in the Christian
bosom, and parents should be awakened. by thi,
awful catastrophe at Boston, to the necessity Of
early Christian culture for their children Through
life It Is a pearl that does not dim with age. nor
lose it, lustre in the midst Of the pollutons Of the
world. Amidst the triumphs Of human genius.
the serene star Of Christianity sheds its ncllowing
Influence over life, and
Paints halo ofpeace above the grave.

Tsiegrapilic Summary.

Our intelligence from New Orleans Is OF such
character as TO preclude The probability of any seri-
ors difficulty occurring between the United States
and Spain, growing out Of the recent piratical nva-
sion of Cuba Notwithstanding the doughty procla-
nations and pronunciamentos of the cabinet, which
have been circulated through their organs here, it
would appear, according to the latest intelligence
received from Cuba at New Orleans, that the
Americans who were imprisoned by order of the
Captain General, have been discharged. This
news, if true, settles the difficulty at once, and
deprves Mr.. Clayton and his associates of the
chance of making capital out of the matter, as
attempted 20 do in the Poussin affair.
No business of any consequence was transacted
In Congress yesterday. The Senate agreed to adj
journ from Thursday next to the following Monday
The House engaged in discussing the old story
the California bl-but nothing new was deve-
loped. The day occupied in discussing an
amendment TO Mr.. Green's proposition, to the
Missouri Compromise line TO the Pacific, to the
efiec;,ha if the people of the new territories, in
forming State constitutions, shall exclude slavery,
it shall be impeachment to their admission into
the Union. The debate will be found in another
Column.
We learn by our private telegraphic despatch,
that she Hon. Henry Clay expects to bring the
Compromise bill TO the question OF engrossment by
Thursday next This is good news, although we
might have expected it from the fact that the mo-
non to strike out the section relative to the boun-
daries of Texas, which was no doubt made with
the view if possible, of killing the whole bill, but
which was rejected, on Friday last, by decisive
vote Of twenty-seven to twenty-four. The crisis,
therefore, so far the Senate is concerned is close
a; hand-and may be reached even before Thurs
day.
Now that Prescott Halls nomination as United
States District Attorney for this district, has been
confirmed, We suppose that Mr.. Maxwell and Mr.
Brady the one the Collector, and the other the
Postmaster Of New York, will next have to 60
through the ordeal. The probability is that their
eases will be acted upon before long We are glad
TO the ordinary business of liberation thus going
on in the Senate, well as in the House ofRepre-
sentatives 1t looks il the settlement of the sla-
very question, which has created so much bicker-
ing and i'll feeling between the Northern and South
sections of the confederacy, was not far distant.

Sambden, occupation cooper, belonging to. PhiIs-

four months, for no crime at all. He was arrested,
together with others, under suspicion Of being en-

the only ground for the suspicion was, that he was
working near building where some powder was
