TeIegraphic Summary.

We publish, under our telegraphic head, a va
rety of interesting intelligence which we received
yesterday and last night by the wires, the most
laughable Of which is an account of the treatment
which the English abotionist, Thompson, re-
eeived at a meeting which was held last evening
in Boston II will be recollected that the object of
this gen;IemGn's mission TO the United States at
rhis time, is TO take part in the slavery agitation
which at present convulses the republic, and
rocks il from centre to foundation. He did not,
we suppose, calculate upon such a reception as
he met with; but we are not surprised at his
being treated as he was last evening. We have
sgitators enough among ourselves, and care but
little about importing others, especially from Eng
lard which country fastened the institution of
slavery on the United States, and entailed upon
all the disturbance which it is now causing We
are willing TO extend all due courtesy TO strangers
but we would submit to Mr. Thompson if it would
not be better for him to 60 to one of the Southern
States-Mississippi, for nstance-and there lecture
upon the evils of American slavery, where it exists
in perfection, instead of wasting his time in the
North, where not one man out of ten knows any
thing about it 7 A tour Of the Southern States
might give him little more insight into his favo-
rite subject, Than perhaps he ever dreamt Of.
We perceive that the Constitutional Convention
of Indiana have determined upon inserting clause
In the new constitution of that State, prohibiting
the entrance of negroes, and preventing them from
purchasing properly therein.
Our readers will find in another column tele.
graphic report of speech made by Col. Benton al
ST. Louis, on Saturday last The sentiments
which he uttered are characteristic Of him, and i
he easy to see what he is aiming at. We refrair
from making any heightened comments on it unit
we receive the published report He tries hard tt
justify his course during the last session of Con
gress, and gives his reasons for opposing Mr.. Clay
h the course which the latter gentleman pursued
on the slavery question.

The REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF Police, ON
CRmE.-The quarterly report of the Chief OF Po-
lice, on crime, will be found ia the proceedings of
the Common Council, in another column. II is an
interesting document, and contains some valuable
statistics of crime. II appears that for the last
quarter, the arrests numbered 10 olo making an ex-
OF l7s6 over the last quarter. There were sS5
burglaries, grand and petit larcenies, for which
1850 persons had been arrested; l,2O4 lost chill
dren were restored to their parents, and 1859 per-
sons were accommodated with lodgings a, the sta
ton houses. The report justly complains of the
want of light in the city, particularly along the
docks, large amount of property being lost by
theft, and many lives being lost by drowning, in
consequence of the darkness. There were only
35 persons rescued from a watery grave during the
quarter. For other matters, refer to the report
itself, which will be read with interest.

The GA' COMPANY AND THE COMMON Council
Curious DEVELOPMENTS. will be recollected
that, some time since, movement was made by
our citizens towards procuring reduction in the
price of gas, and breaking up the old monopolies
The result wac, that petition was presented to
the Common Council, 10 which several thousand
signatures were appended, praying of that body to
declare the contract between the city government
and the old Gas Company void, and praying also,
that no other contract would he entered into. The
Gas Company was considerably alarmed at the
course which matters were taking, and set abou, to
counteract the movement They accordingly en-
ployed a man, whose name is in our possession, to
do all in his power 20 prevent the movement from
being successful, and agreed to pay him three dol.
lars per day. and his expenses, while he was so en-
gagged. The faithfuluess with which he performed
his duty may be inferred from the fact, that he not
only prevailed on the committee of the Common
Council, to whom the petition of the citizens was
referred, to disregard ito take no action upon It
hut further than that, TO induce them to draw up a
report recommending renewal Of the contract for
twenty one years from the expiration of the present
one This report is ready to be submitted, aud we
shall watch IL aitentively
The Gas Company, however, refused TO pay the
qcnteman's bill and suit has been commenced in
the Suprtme Court for its recovery. Ii embraces
the following items -

Printing. ..s..ssssssss' .'''''''''s''s'. ~ 70

This bill, we understand, is for sale. There was
one hundred dollars paid upon IL, and the remain
der IL still due.
This is the way in which this monopoly conducts
its business ard tries TO ste the of the peo-
pls We now call upon the Common Council
committee 10 whom the petition was referred, TO
come forward and deny the charge thus made
egainst them, IL they can. The old contract with
the city government will expire, and we shall
see whether il will be renewed.

gave her twenty ninth concert In Americs. The
house not 90 crowded the previous evening
but IL very nearly full. The great vocalist was
never In better voice, and never more triump phant
chs sung with more than her wonted fire. She sung
the Casta Diva" from Norma, with brillsncy and
execution surpassing her former efforts in the same
song there nothing the sweet warbler sung dur
ing the night was enthusiastically sppiauded ex
cspt the Bird cong. In the reetstve and cavatins
from Nome al Figaro she completel. sueeess-
full Her sofia rocs eIqusitely beautiful followed
by glorious erescendo; aud she sung the cadence upon
the concluding words, "incoronar d oeen with be-
witehng effect. In the duet from Denizetts" Elixir
Of Love-" che was charming but the gem which
evidently delighted the audience most was the de.
licious "BiId Song" In which music, like nectar
overHowed from the breast OF the Nightingale. She
was rapturously encored The most astonishing Der.
formance Of all, was the Mountsinser's song,r in
her own native language. Her sustained notes ex-
ceed, beyond all comparison, anything we have ever
heard her do in any other song The Imitation Of the

NICARAGUA CANAL-Irs Position AND DESTINY
We publish elsewhere, in our columns to-day, a
very interesting and curious exposition of the pre-
sent condition Of the project for uniting the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans by the medium of canal
through the State Of Nicaragua, IN Central Ame-
rica According TO the Developments made in
this article, the whole validity OF the charter,
which has been procured by certain parties in this
city, depends upon the fate of treaty, yet uncen-
frmed, between the United States and Nicaragua,
now lying on the tables of the United Senate, un-
til they meet in the next session Of Congress.
The project of a canal, wide enough for the
largest steamships, to unite the Atlantic and Paci-
hc ocesns, has been the dream of commerce for
three centuries. Over twenty attempts, in the
shape of charters and organization of companies,
have been made for the accomplishment of this
vast work; but up to the present time, nothing has
ever resulted from these efforts. We have been
led to believe, from the respecability Of the men
engaged ia The present enterprise, and the apparent
patronage conferred upon it by the British, Ame-
rican and Ncaraguan governments, that we have
now reached the period when something might be
accomplished. There seems, however, to be some
diplomatic difficulties in the way, and difficulties
Of diplomatic character are often as embarrassing
and perpexinR as those of physical nature. Sir
Henry Bulwer, the British Minister at Washing.
ton, has taken very important hand in these ne
go,istions and proceedings; much has been de.
veloped for and against this movement-but full
disclosures of all the circumstances, diplomatic or
otherwise, seem never Yet TO have been made, or
at least to have been understood sufficiently by the
public on either side Of the Atlantic. A canal
through Central America, at the point in question,
would effect a revolution in the commercial enter
prise ofthe world-a revolution of the greatest i'm
portsbce TO this city, TO the United States as well
to England, Europe, AND the whole OF the Pac-
nc coast. Diiierences OF personal, diplomatic or
political nature, should not be permitted, by the
great powers interested in this work, 10 prevent the
accon plisbment of project Of such vast magnl-
tude and importance TO the whole civilized world
