COLLISION BETWEEN FoRREsr AND Willis. The
quiet of Washington-square, says the New York
Tribune, was extraordinarily disturbed yesterday af
ternoon by most unexpected encounter between two
men of extensive public reputation-Edwin Forrest,
the American tragedian. and Nathaniel P. Willis,
Editor OF the Home Journal As near as we can get
at the facts, they these: Mr.. Willis was passing
through the Square, when he was met overtaken
by Mr.. Forrest, Mr.. Stevens, and another; Mr. Willis
was knocked down, whether by Forrest or some 9TH
er person We cannot say, and while down, or while
trying 10 rse he struck several times with sort
of whip or cane made of gutta percha. We under
stand that some persons endeavored to interfere, but
were prevented from doing so. Officers Stnman and
Girand saw the transaction and Immediately arrested
Mr.. Forrest who made resistance to the law, and
took also Mr.. Willis before Justice McGrath at JEFF.
ferson Market Police Court, where, as Mr.. ills
fused to make complaint, the officers entered the
complaint of breaking the peace against both Forrest
and Willis, and the Justice held them to bail to keep
the peace for six months. Michael Cox bail for
Mr. Forrest, and gentleman whose name did not
learn became surety for Mr.. Willis. The cause Of
this affair is well enough known to the public, who
have had the long details of the disagreement between
Mr.. Forrest and his wife laid before them. Weleave
the reader to make his estimate Of the character
of the afray card from Mr.. Willis appears below:
CARD FROM N. P. WILLIS.
To the Editor of The Tribune -SIR-As a state
ment will doubtless appear, of outrage which took
place this evening" and it may no: be correct
diiow uio " StdVe Its Siupiy dS u udppSue0.
While walking in Washington-square, with no sus-
picion that any one near me, l was suddenly
knocked down, and. while upon the ground, severely
beaten The first thing that could observe was that
two men, Mr. Stevens, and another, struggling
to prevent persons from interfering; and, when rose
to my feet, for the first time, saw Mr. Edwin For
rest He was in the hands of police officers, and his
two friends eagerly declaring to the crowd that
l was the seducer of Mr.. Forests wife. This pre-
pared flsehood and slander Of that lady they contn
ued to declare at the Police Office, where we were
taken. When informed the Judge that had no
complaint to make, or other reckoning with Mr. For
res at that place, the usual bail required, and
left the Office As my whole provocation to this ruff
fany assault has been an endeavor vindicate the
honor of the lady, and Of course, to show that her
husband had not, through her, come to- dishonor.)

readily see the outrage in its true light.

The Washington Union of Saturday says:
We understand that Ms. Soule will bring forward
his proposition about the Missouri line on Monday.
We anticipate powerful speech in its behalf. We
shall rejoice to see it brought forward being perfectly
willing to accept that mode of adjustment, if it can
be obtained. At all events we are anxious to see it
testedthat it, according to expectation, it cannot
succeed we may see the southern senators ralying
upon some other mode of compromise which may
settle the question. We adopt neither the Missouri
Compromise nor the Senate Bill as sine qua non.
And may we not hope that some of the southern
ators WILL in Of defeat, adopt the other alternative
to give peace to the country r'
We shall look with much interest for MI. Soule's
Speech. He is one of the ablest and soundest men
in the Senate, and anticipate from him lucid ex-
position of the advantages of the Missouri line.
The debates in the California Convention show that
the State Constitution was formed in opposition to
the wishes of the people south of that line. They
desired Territorial government, but it was denied
then, and they forced to go into State organi
zaton. Under such circumstances, other reason
existed for such course, would be but just 10 them
to divide California by running the Missouri line from
Texas to the Pacific. If the friends OF the Adjust
men " should consent to this, it would do much to
reconcile the South to that measure That adopted,
and should land As is we are still at sea,
and night and the tempest are about u.s."
The final vote will, in all probability, be taken in
the Senate this week on the Sc Adjustment" The
friends of the still count upon its passage
through that body by majority of two or three votes.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE-GOv. MANLY.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE-GOV. MANLY.
The following is from the Rutherfordton Banner of
April last-a Whig paper. The Banner is pledged
against Gov. Manly, not only on the Equal Suffrage
question, hut for other reasons. We have no doubt
that paper will abide its pledge and oppose his reelec
ton. The Banner says:
"A correspondent Of the Raleigh Register charges
ms with gross Inconsistency in exhortiHg the Wings
be united, and at the same time declaring will
not support Gov. Manly, even if nominated by the
Convention to meet in Raleigh. The Registers cor
respondent has not heretofore done the honor to
observe the course we have pursued. II ,0ih
great reluctance ,re sustained Gou. Manly before. We
are for Free Suffrage, and we dsapproved of Gov.
Many's views upon that question:, but In Difference
to the wishes of Whig friends, we remained si-
lent until after the Gubernatorai election when
took ground upon that subject and defined our posi-
ton We hooked upon it as grare question, and one
,rheh shoud be settled and that speedily; AND VIEWING
1T IN THIS LIGHT, WE COULD NOT SUPPORT GOVERNOR
MANLY's REELECTION, EVEN IF He HAD NO OTHER
SINS TO ANSWER FOR. Hundreds of good Wings are
precisely in the situation, who did not desire to
make it test question, when it was first sprung up
Us. but who now compelled to carry out what
they regard great principle. This disaffecton
is known to exist uidely in the community, and we
do insist that should select man free from OBJ
lection on this score. Let US unite upon man who
can again make band of brothers. This can
easily be done by refusing TO yield to the force of
irresistible precedent and acting for the good of
the party and the good of the country"
We call attention to the fact that Gov. Manly is
still opposed to Equal Suffrage. He is opposed to it
on principle, and, if pressed, will doubt declare
on the stump. Atany rate, whatever he or his friends
may say for him. he is not heartily for it, as Colonel
Reid and the Democrats are. Remember that. The
Democrats are for STATE REFORM generally, and
the Central Wing Power, with Gov. Manly at its
head, is opposed to it. The truth is, this Central
Wing Power, which has ruled the State for fourteen
years, and monopozed nearly all the Offices Of trust
and profit, could not be for this general Reform Dithout
being against itself. Remember that also, people Of
North Carolina.

and spectators, as well as for export, and with
tendency to command further advances but within
the last two or three days the market has been
partively quiet.

POMAREDE'S PANORAMA.

1t will be seen, by our advertising columns. that
Pomarede's magnificent Panorama of the Mississip-
p will be exhibited the Town Hall tonight, and
during the week. This Painting is no doubt well
worthy of the commentators which have been be-
slowed upon it. The Charleston Courier thus speaks
of it:
/" Mississippi Riper. The Panorama of the Mis-
River, by PoMAREDE, is now exhibition at Militia
ry Hall, and will be exhibited for two nights more,
Friday and Saturday, also Saturday afternoon. This
is the largest Panorama exhibition in this
country, and, in point of artistic merit, is surpassed
by none.
The great St. Louis Fire is represented in all its
fearful sublimity. The Prairie Fire, the Indians
and Wild Beasts fleeing before it, is most strikingly
portrayed. Lake PePn at sunset, is master piece
as is also the picture of the Maiden's Rock. The
moonlight scenes are well executed and produce a
fine effect The Indians leaving their old homes
the United States soldiers driving them, it were,
to leave forever the homes of their fathers-is so
well depicted by the artist as to cause feeling of
the water, driving out thick black smoke from the
chmnies and steam from the escape pipes, add great
ly to the interest of the Painting"
The Panorama of the Funeral Procession of Mr..
Calhoun will also be exhibited at the same time.
The Courier says Of it:
"The Panorama of the Calhoun Funeral Procession
is got up with infinite taste and skill, and is faithful
representation Of that magnificent funeral pageant,
unique in our land, as the votive offering of grateful
people on the shrine of the patriot dead-bestowed,
not on the plumed warrior, panopled in mail. and
crowned with bloodstaned laurels. but the civil
ian and statesman, panoplied only with intellect and
virtue, and crowned but with the conquess and tro-
phes of peace. We invoke for exhibition, so at
tractive in ITSELF and grateful to the hearts of
people, full and remunerating attendance"
Our citizens, we have no doubt, will generally
turn out to see these striking and admirable Paint
ings. They spoken of in the highest terms in
the New Orleans and Charleston papers.

MR.. SOULE'S AMENDMENT.


Mr.. Soule's amendment to the Adjustment bill
which passed the Senate on the 18th instant, is as
follows:
"That when the new Territories shall be admitted
as Sates they shall be received into the Union with
or without Slavery, as their Constitutions may pre-
scribe at the time of their admission

The National Intelligencer says:
"How much may be inferred from the strong sup
port which this provision received, cannot under
take positively to say, but we presume that its adep-
ton has not only gained friends for the BILL but pro-
misses earlier disposition of the whole subject in
the Senate than could have before venured to
tcipate."
On the other hand, the Washington Correspondent
of the New York Tribune says:
"Mr. So2le's amendment is understood to have
gained the author, and Mr. Sebastian of Arkansas for
the Omnibus, while it has driven away from the
support of that measure the two Senators from Wis
eonsin at least"
