In the SENATE, number of reports and
resolutions were offered, among them one
by Mr.. MASON, directing inquiry into the
propriety of paying the owners of the
Amistad negroes the value of those men as
slaves. The California Land Bill was then
debated, but no vote taken.
In the HOUSE, debate occurred on the
Senate Bill providing retired list for dis
abled officers in the Army and Marine
Corps, in which Messrs. BURT, GIDDINGs
and JOHN A. KING took part, Mr.. GIDDINes
alone opposing the bill, which was finally
laid on the table. The New York and
San Francisco Branch Mint Bill was next
debated by Messrs. CHANDLER and VAN
DYKE, Mr.. CHANDLER opposing the New
York Branch Mint altogether, and Mr..
VAN DYKE proposing, by way OF compro-
mise, that the new Mint should be estab-
lisbed at Jersey City. No was taken.
The debate on this bill is to be closed at
noon to day.

The steamer Atlantic.
From the New. Haven JonrnaI

MEssRs. EDTORs-It is not surprising that
there should be an intense feeling existing rela-
tive to the above named steamer, which has been
at sea, unless she has made some foreign portl
one month The probabilities, however, are, tina.
after being out some days, she met with an acct
dent, and after trial OF some few days, her com
mander abandoned the idea of beating to the
Westward, and under canvass has made his way
for some port where he can repair damages, and
it his vessel for q successful prosecution OF his
vOyege. The steamers comprising the Collins
line are built to be propelled almost exclusively
by steam. They have no "bow.sprlt, and ii
deprived of the use of steam, could derive no
benefit from jbs," which in beating would be Of
essential service. On their foremast," they
carry fore sail, fore top sail, and foretop-gal
liant sail, and these with foreman, and mz-
zen.tri.sail" is all the canvass they spread.
do not think the Atlantic" could beat from
Ion. 81, (say half the distance from Liverpool to
New-York to the last named port in so days. |
do not think, however, that Capt. West would
make the attempt. He would put his ship about,
and run for Bristol or Plymouth, where at one Of
the ports, have no doubt, she now is. The AT
lsntic," like her sister ships, is not inferior In
strength to any vessel ever built. l do not think
there is the most remote probability that the ship
has foundered-neither do think she has been
destroyed by fire, for they have on board these
steamers facilities for flooding the ship with water
within space Of ten minutes She may have
come IN contact with an iceberg, or with another
vessel-but the probabilities are as have before
stated, and the arrival of the Canada" this
week, will probably bring news of her safety.
Even If the Atlantic should not be heard
from by the Canada there will be no cause for
alarm, or no more than now exists. Suppose she
had met with accident eight days out from
Liverpool she would then be giving her nine
knots an hour, which is good speed in the dead Of
Winter) ,72s miles from port One day would
be lost in try ing TO beat westward, taking off her
floats, &c. ard supposing she should on the tenth
day alter her course toward England, and for
fourteen days average five knots an hour, which
is all or more than she could do, this would enable
her to arrive back in % days. The Canada"
would have been out two days, and more than
probable would not see her. am almost certain
we shall soon hear of her safety.

NEw.0RLEANs.-A large public meeting was
held at New. Orleans on the goth inst. to devise
means Tor re building the St. Charles Hotel The
Delta warmly opposes such gigantic establish
ment, and says:
Inc times are evil in New Orleans; there is no
denying thst on all sides decay is visible real
not comma and living wages. 0nr mscbsnios have
been pressed down on all aides; the encourage.
ment that is their due is withheld; our shopkeep.
ers are OVERCOME by taxes, heavy ia amount and
innumerable in form; our commission merchants
have their best efforts paralyzed for the want Of
reasonable bank facilities 70 meet the aceru;ng
obligations of the season. IL behooves ns ali
then. to discard pride prejudice and senseless
love Of display, and inquire whether the present
IS not capable Of amelioration; and whether il is
moi batter more patriotic that forty should live ia
comfort, than that one should acquire prinoely
fortune. and that one too holding no fellowship
with Us.
