Tbs Nebraska Bill.-We hear many mem
bers enquiriag when this measure is to be
brought UP, for consideration in Committeesof
the Whole? These are, for the most part,
gentlemen who are DESTROYS of being absent
from Washington for brief period, who very
properly hesitate to be absent while there ex-
lists accessibility that they may loose their re-
spective votes on a measure of 50 great i'm
poftance. 1t strikes us that Immediately after
the Deficiency bill shall have been disposed
of, the Nebraska question will be formally
ken up by decided majority vote and that
the discussion upon it will not continue more
than fortnight thereafter; thirty hour
speeches having already been delivered upon
it. This is, perhaps, twice as many as is con-
sidered necessary for the proper calculation of
any great question, before the English House
of Commons. .ea-s.5.a
So far as the prospects of the bill are con-
| cerned, we deem it certain that the Clayton
amendment will be voted out of it by large
majority, and that as thus amended, it will
surely pass. We think that the " intense
southernism' of two or three very Hards will
induce them to hit the South a back-handed
blow in disposing Of this measure; though We
have no idea that Mr.. Cutting will be of that
number The signs all point that way just
now. On the other hand, the rejection of the
| Clayton amendment will secure the bill per-
haps ten votes, which it would not otherwise
get. As far as we can perceive, the speeches
| of Messrs. Hunt and Cullom have failed to Sc
| cure single southern vote with them, which
| was not theirs, past peradvent ure, in advance.
| Their efforts have undoubtedly had the effect
| of affording one or two northern gentlemen
| grounds to stand on when it shall be necessary
| to explain their votes in favor of the bill, to
| their constituents Gentlemen who dreaded
to vote for it, on the ground of the previously
supposed entire unanimity of the South, in the
| House, in its favor.
Poland, Austria, and Hungary-An Ameri-
can in Paris, writes us by the last Europeon
arrivals, saying, incidentally:
| The news about Kalafat being taken is
untrue. 1t is believed in Europe that both
| Prussia and Austria will soon change front and
back Russia, and it is currently said in high
| quarters that the policy of Russia is now fixed
| to free Poland, and if Austria does not join heT
| side, to restore Hungary and make Austria
| dependency Of Hungarian power
This, another policy indicated by the
| speech of Lord Clarendon of England, has
weakened the sympathies of very large ma

Mr. Walbridge's Rssolutions,-Ther esolu
tons offered Intellectually, yesterday, by Mr.
Walbridge, simply affirmed two or three fact
| which all Americans realize. First; that thi
Government will maintain in this, her hour o.
! commanding strength, the inviolabihty o.
American vessels, against the right of search
as exercised by England and France for some
nineteen years before the former thus drov,
US into the war of 1912. And next; that tn,
United States will permit no chance of the cur
i rent war to end in the transfer of Cuba from
| Spain to any power, other than this confeder
acy; nor to change the status,of affairs any
i where in this hemisphere. That is, by Euro
pean authority. They were voted down, i
trikesus, for the most part, only because they
embraced sclf-evident axioms. Some gentle
men may have voted against the suspension o
the rule for their introduction, because England
has formally agreed to waive her claim to the
light OF search during the existing war, Will,
| France is understood to abandon it altogether
il being conceived that England act in waiy

forcibly, that that act has sealed the fate o
the fright of search for all time. Even i
SO inclined, England will come off of this con
test with relative strength (as compared Will
ours by no means such as to enable her there
after to renew any such aniquated pretenson

The coasting Navigation Of Englaud-We
| are much mistaken if the Government have
not received advces that just before the de.
parture of the last steamer from Liverpool,
that the English Parliament passed an act
throwing open the coasting trade of England
to the vessels of all nations. This is a most
important step forward-a very decided pro-
gress indeed. 1t will be remembered that in
lS49, she initiated her new navigation system
by the repeal of her antiquatcd general navi-
cation laws, principally through the efforts of
his Government.
