IU- The Adriatic, the new collins Steamer

III The Adriatic, the new Collins steamer
sailed from New York yesterday. The Post says
At exactly l2 she sailed, the wind and tide bott
setting strongly up stream.
Three tug boats were in attendance to haul hel
head out In the stream-the o. NJ Petit and the
George and Edwin Birkbeck; and her immense
size was well shown by their rerfect ina bility to
control her movements. As she left the pier the
tide swept her nearly half mile up the North
river, the power of their boats combined being
perfec thy unable TO stem its force.
There was some laundering az she left the
pier. The William II. Webb crossed her bow
forcing the Adriatic to back, and carving her
against the stern of the Atlantic lying at the end
the Adriatic was stove In and rendered useless
The three steantugs left her in the middle of the
river, as soon AZ her head was well pointed down
stream, and she commenced her first voyage
running slowly, not making at first more than
eight or ten revolutions, to be able to avoid
the sailing vessels in the river, she went down
the bay her speed increased to probably fifteen
or seventeen knots through the water the wind
anu tide both setting strongly against her. re-
ducins her actual speed perhaps four or five
knots.
The fastest steamer in the bay-the VIM. II
Webb-was In attendance to try their respective
speed. At first she gained on her some half a
mile but as the engines Of the Adriatic were
worked up to an approximation Of their full
power, this dividing dstancewas gradually re-
lost to sight the Webb was barely holding her
own.
The Adriasic takes out thirty -eight passengers
and 500, 900 in specie. Hercrew including OH
GERS and men, numbers one hundred and eighty
eight.

The Union shows that the pretence of oppo-
sition to the action of the Kansas Convention is
really sympathy with the Topeka politicians of
the Territory, open or disguised.
The same Journal publishes, with a brief
complimentary introduction, a Louisiana letter,
suggesting the peculiar qualifications of Sena-
tor Slidell for the mission to Paris. Probably
no other American statesman is so thoroughly
acquainted with the French character, and so
we'll qualified to protect the interests of our
country and Government as involved in our
relations with France as Mr. s., through his
thirty years residence among population Of
French extraction, and his long family connec-
ton with French family. Weare among those
who believe that he will surely succeed the
Hon. John Y. Mason, if but from the fact of
his admitted superior qualifications for the
position. 10
The Intsihgenesr rejoices over the intima-
ton Of the London Times, that there is nothing
involved in what is known as the Central
American question in which the English people
feel peculiar interest.

The MISSION TO NIcARAGUA-Th telegraph

erroneous one. Gen. Lamar already holds the
commission of Minister Resident from the
United States to Buenos Ayres, much moro
desirable position. Besides, though gentle
man of high personal character there are few
in the land of wider spread reputation for long
and consistent sympathy with the doctrines
upon which all attempts at the justification Of
fillibustering are based. Under such oircum-
stances, it strikes that entertaining the views
concerning fllibustering which the President ID

Hard to Please.

A few of the Republicans in the late Con.
stitutional Convention, were in favor of sub
mitting tn e Negro Suffrage question to the
people, but large majority of them were op-
posed to tie measure, and SO voted. The
Dem 'crats were furious in their opposition to
that portion of the Republican sentiment
that favored the submission and in the con-
ference, in spirit OF compromise, it was en-
tirely waived, and all the Republicans voted
for the Constitution without the provision.-
And now the democrats are as mad as
blazes" because the Republicans did not in
sist upon it. This reminds us of the fellow
who was whipped. He was being flogged in
State where that punishment was inflicted
by law. The officer, who happened to be a
son of the Emerald Isle, was laying on the
whip, when the culprit writhing in agony cx-
claimed "whip lower whip lower! !" The
officer whipped lower, when the culprit,
writhing and twisting himself into all sorts of
shapes, fairly screamed, "whip higher !. whip
higher!' "Be Jabers," says the officer,
'ye'r the hardest man to plase ever saw.''
So with the Democrats if the Republicans
go for free suffrage, they complain and when,
to please the Democrats, they waive the
point, (those who were in favor of it) the
Democracy still complain. They are hard
to please.
