THE ATLANTIC SAFE.

We know not the time when we received an
item of news with such heartfelt pleasure as we
received on last Saturday night the teegraphic an
nouncement of the safety of the steamer .4ta'ffc,
after hope had almost expired in every breast that
she would ever be heard Of again.
The news was received here on Saturday night
by Mr.. COLLINS, one of the owners of the ship,
while he was at the National Hall Theatre, and
being Immediately announced from the stage it was
received by the crowded audience with the most
enthusiastic demonstrations Of Joy.
Itappears that the shaft of the Atlantic broke to-
wards night of the 9Th of January, when eight days
out,) rendering her steam machinery entirely USE
less. The vessel was then put under canvass, with
the hope of making the American shore, but after
buteting the seas for several days in the face of
strong adverse Winds it was finally determined on
the llth TO return to Europe. In her passage back
il is stated that the ship averaged hundred and
fifty miles per day, and arrived safely at Cork in
the afternoon Of the 22d. She met with no further
accident, and her passengers and mails were brought
over by the africa.

DELAWARE ON THE COMPROMISE MEASURES.
The Delaware House of Representatives have
passed series Of resolutions in relation to the
compromise measures, in which they declare the
strong attachment Of Delaware to the Union, and
the determination Of her people to resist to the
extent of their ability any nfraction of the Consti.
tuition. They express their cordial appreciation OF
the measures recently adopted by Congress, known
as the compromise measures, and declare that
Delaware will stand by them in good faith. Any
further agitation Of the slave question they regard
as endangering the existence of the Union. The
fugitive slave bill is declared TO be in accordance
with the express stipulations Of the Constitution,
and Congress, for passing law which rendered
the act OF 1893 more effectual, is considered as
entitled to the thanks Of the country.

There has been pamphlet recently published
from the son Of the Hon. SAMUEL D. INGHAM, for
merly Secretary of the Treasury under General
Jackson, in which he predicts crisis in our none
tary system, arising from the change of relative
values as between gold and silver. Mr.. Ingham
recommends the coinage Of limited amount Of
small silver coins lighter than those now in use,
which would protect them from expectation and
their use in the arts, and likewise prevent the evil
Of the circulation Of small deprecated foreign coins
and small paper money.

Total coinage $4,649,243.
The imperative requirement of the law compels
the meter and refner to settle his accounts annually
by delivering up to the Treasurer all the bullion in
his possession, which caused suspension of ten
days in refining; and, in order to complete some
indispensable repairs and alterations in that depart
ment, the suspension Of work extended from the
3Ist December until the goth of January, which
has caused the unusually large accumulated amount
of unredeemed certificates.
