A Pence Measure.

The following are the resolutions presented on
Tuesday last by Mr.. A. A. Thompson OF this City,
in the Assembly at Albany. for the purpose OF
bringing the Legislature of this State to indorse
the Compromise. One would suppose that this
thing had been tried often enough in varo as forms
to render further experimenting unnecessary
We shall see whether it is any more successful
now. Here are the resolutions:

~ BE EUROPEAN News brought

n The EUROPEAN News brought by
the Asia adds little to the advices received
by the Franklin. Germany remains polit-
ically the most interesting part of the Con-
tinent, and nothing important has been de-
veloped in the two days whose news we
now publish, The reported cooperation
of Prussia with Austria in putting down
Schleswig Holstein has been confirmed.

BALTIMORE, Friday, Jan. H.
The New Orleans mail of the 9th has arrived.
The Legislature of Virginia have adopted re-
solution unanimously instructing the Governor to
return the Peace Resolutions to Vermont, with
declaration that when Vermont shall prove her
willingness to consult the peace OF the Union by
doing Justice to the Constitution it will be time
enough for Virginia to consult with her on the
peace ofthe world.

n Nothing has yet been heard of the
Atlantic. She has probably got out of coal
or had her engines disabled. We do not
doubt that she will finally arrive in safety
So substantial ship can Outride any tenn
pest ever seen at sea. We see no cause
for anxiety on account of her delay. The
United States was twentY-eight days on
her last voyage from Europe.

EFRoM TEXAs.-Dates from Texas to the 3lst
ultimo have been received. Judge Rollins, the
United States agent, had effected a treaty with
the Indians, who had promised TO cease hostili-
ties, restore all stolen property and prisoners,
and to expose all depredstors. Among the ab-
sentees were the Kechis and Wichitas and some
Wacoe bands, considered as among the most
troublesome. But it cannot be doubted that these
must succumb.
Lieuts. Smith and Mechler have returned from
a survey of the Rio Grande. They examined
the river from Camargo 70 a point one hundred
miles above the mouth Of the Peoos, about four
hundred and fifty miles. From Camargo TO short
distance above Laredo, the river can be made
uavigable for several months during the year for
light draueht boats. From that point TO the ter
minAtion Of the partys explorations the average
depth Of the river did not exceed eight inches

c.eap Postage Almost Certain.

The Cheap Postage Bill yesterday passed
the House of Representatives on a full
vote by SIS majority, in form which
though far from perfect, is quite as good
as was to be expected from Congress.
The main provision is that each let
ter not weighing above half an ounce
shall be charged three cents, without re-
gard to the distance it is carried, and whether
paid in advance or not. The details are
given in our Congressional report in another
column. Of course the ranking privilege
suffers no diminution.
Though what is good in this bill is moth
ing more than an expression of tho popular
conviction and will, credit is due to Hon.
EMERY D. POTTER Of Ohio, the Chairman Of
the Committee on the Post Office and Post
Roads, for the patience, tact and pertinacity
with which he has labored to get the re-
form carried through the House.
- 1t is remarkable that nearly all the
votes against this bill were cast by members
from the Slave States.
1t now remains for the Senate to act
upon the bill. We cannot suppose that it
will undergo long discussion in that body,
or any notifications which will raise the
rate of letter postage above three cents.
There seems to be no provision in this
act for reducing the postage on letters to
and from California. That will doubtless
be the subject of special law.
Once again, we congratulate the country
on the progress of this boneGcont measure
and trust, that, ere many days. we shall
have the pleasure of recording its final
triumph in the other House. Its approval
by President Fillmore is certain.

Passages of the Atlantic steamers.


Precisely as in the instance Of the royal mail
steamship Europa, last week. the Asia, from the
season and the nature of the weather, was not
expected on her run homeward, TO effect more
than 4 fair average passage. Her splendid capa.
bllities, however, have on this occasion enabled
her to accomplish run unquestionably superior
to any of those celebrated and unrivaled feats of
steaming which hsve 80 often been recorded in
our columns during the current year, in eonnec-
ton with the fine fleets of the Royal and United
States mail services Her run Of last Summer
TO the Mersey on which occasion she steamed
past the Rock lighthouse at midnight on the Sat
urday, had previously stood unrivaled, being one
hour and twenty minutes less than the finest
passage of the United States mail steamer A.
lantici but the Asia has now beaten even herself
fully justifying her claim to be considered the
feetest existing ocean steamship. From New
York, on the 18th inst she cleared precisely at
mid day, but shortly afterward stopped her en-.
gines 70 repair damage received by her wheels
during a collision with the wharf. Fifty.fve min
utes were thus lost; and she finally started on her
voyage shortly before ? PM.
During her subsequent passage she experienced
variable weather, with frequent strong breezes
from the westward, and on Friday at 10 p. NJ.
made Cape Clear, having steamed from land to
land in little more than nine days. Holyhead was
passed, unobseryed by the Marine Telegraph at
z. NJ. on Saturday and at q o'clock her guns
saluted the town, exciting general surprise and
universal satisfaction as regards the celebrity of
her passage. The Asia throughout effected very
high average speed per diem. On three days she
