The SLAVE TRADE.-The Journal Of Com
msree states, on the authority of the United
States Deputy Marshals, that the fitting out of
vessels for the slave trade, from New York cI-
ty, Was never prosecuted with greater energy
than AZ present. The OCCASIONAL interpositiOn
Of the legal authorities exercise no apparent
influence for its suppression. 1t is seldom
that one or moro vessels cannot be designated
at tao wharvas, respecting which there is evil
dence that she either is or has been concerned
in the traffic; and within the last nine months
three alleged slave csses of the character re-
ferred to have been before the Courts, result

states that the trade conld be broken up by so
amending the law relating to the shipment of
crews, that vessel engaged in the African
trade shall take none but Americans. The
scaInen who engage in these vessels are prin-
cipaiiy Portuguese, and other foreigners, who
arc destitute of principle on the subject.

MEETING OF CoNGREss.-The second session
of the 34th Congress commenced at Washing
ton on the 1st inst. In the Senate there were
Is abseutecs. In the House about 200 mem
bcTs were present. The new members from
Vermont, Virginia and Illinois appeared, and
were qualified. The credentials of Whitfield,
as delegate from Kansas, were presented by
Mr.. Phelps, of Missouri, who moved that lie
be sworn. Mr.. Grow, of Pa, objected. \
spirited debate ensued between Messrs. Grow
and Phelps, on the merits Of the question, af-
ter which the motion to swear in Mr.. Whitfield
vas rejected-aycs 81, noes 104. Mr.. Grow
thea moved to reconsider the vote, and TO lay
that motion on the table. The opponents
thereof endeavored to defeat this action by
motions for a call of the House, to adjourn,
sc. They had evidently been caught in their
own net. Nevertheless, time was consumed
until O'Clock, when the House, by one ma
jority. adjourned. On Tuesday, the Presi-

WILSON, and others, handled it severely. On

FRoM EURoPE.-The Arabia arrived at Hail.
fa1 with news from Europe to the 22d n ovem-
her. Political affairs remain quiet, all rumors
as to the instability of the Anglo-French Alli-
ance having disappeared; consequently the
funds had gone up much as one per cent
Two ships had arrived at Liverpool with spe-
Gle amounting TO about Sc, 500 900. The Brit
ishGovcrnment is generously aiding the Trans
atlantic Telegraph enterprise, having ordered
a steamer to survey the Irish coast and sound
across the ocean; also guaranteeing interest
at four per cent per annum on the capital re-
quired to make and lay the cables. The con-
tractors have agreed to finish and ship the ca
bles by the 31st of May next. France has con-
eluded commercial treaty with the Sandwich
Islands. The expected arrangement between
the Spanish Bourbons had failed. Its object
was the abdication of the Queen, and the mar
riage Of her daughter TO Don Juan, the eldest
son of the Infanta. A Republican outbreak k
occurred at Malaga on the 18th, but was spec
dily suppressed by killing five of the insur-
gents. 1t was said not to be political move
ment, but intended for smuggling purposes
Several persons had been arrested and exccu-
ted. The elections in Lisbon had been unfa-
vorable to the Government. Nothing new a
bout the Neapoltan question, except that the
Governor of Palermo had ordered q strict sur
veilance upon French and English CONNER
cial vessels. Denmark has been notified that
the Sound Dues question will be brought be-
fore the Germanic Diet on the 10th December.
Should Denmark fail to be represented, it is
said that England has agreed to pay Denmark
capital sum equal to revenue of f45,O0O
per annum. The British pay in tolls about
10000 year. There is nothing of impor-
tance from other parts, except that the at
tempt to effect with Lord Redclife a settle
ment of the disputes between England and
Persia had failed.

Gov. ADAas, of South Carolina, gravely ur-
ges, in his recent message to the Legislature,
a dissolution of the Union and the revival of
the infamous African slave trade. When such
men as Gov. Adams, in an official message,
urge the adoption of such measures, it is high
time that q proper rebuke should be admins
tered, and the Christian world assured of our
fidelity to TIE cause of constitutional liberty.
1t is said that the Locofoco leaders fear that
this announcement of the South Carolina Go
yernor may inure to the injury of their party,
and some are therefore denouncing it.
