KANSAS IL THE HOUSE.-When our report
left the House Hall today, it appeared likely
that no vote whatever would be taken upon
the report of the (kansas) Conference Commit
tee down TO an hour too late to permit US to
record its result in the .Star to-day.
The SENTIMENT Oh CALIFORNIA.-In view
Of the fact that Senator Broderck made, not
long since, a great hubbsboo in the Senate
Chamber over the assumed will of his constitu-
ents upon the Kansas question, it may Lot be
amfss that sc should quote the extract that
*ill be found below, from the San Francisco
GLOBE, which doses him thoroughly enough, as
will be seen, with his own medicine. We are
curious to ascertain whether Mr.. NcKibben,
Sho has been acting with Mr.. Frederick, will
bow to the formally expressed will of the De-
rnocracy Of his State, now that it is so clearly
against the position be took not long since
without due reflection.
The people of California, through their rep
resentatlves in the Legislature assembled, have
spoken out on the subject of Kansas. They have
declared . That our senators be instructed and
our Representatives requested TO vote for tse inn
Union. They have denounced the agitation which
Senator Douglas would again force upon the coun-
try, and have, by an overwhelming majority,
sustained the President in his wise and patriotic
policy. Freedom shTiekers have raRted SYM
pathising Democrats have seIzed the opportunity
10 give them aid and comfort vascilating poll
ticians have sought to Trim their course to the
popular breeze; unfaithful journals have attempt
ed to make new issues, and timid ones have Mt
tered foolish things ard then fed the scene Of
battle. But still the people and their representa-
tives have remained loval to the cause-true to
the Democracy-true to the wise teachings of its
most honored champions The question has
been well debated. In all its point. 1t has been
placed clearly before the masses
'tln the Legislature, Ferguson, assisted by Bell
and other shining gifts of Black Republican
ism, have for hours and days occupied the time
OF the session. and the columns of the Sacramento
Union Certain of the press have expended count
less reams OF paper and floods of ink in wordy
argument, attac king the invulncrable position of
James Buchanan, and the Democrs attic party Of the
Republic Where talent has failed to conjure up
false promises, scuIlity Of the lowest class has
been brought into requisition to spatter with its
foulness the advocates for the instant admission
of Kansas; but the contest is over, and even the
air IL clear of the skunk-like effuva proceeding
from the source. The result is triumphan mt vim

practical effect of this clear and explicit declara-
ton Of the will Of d sovereign State Will Ell

SrEAhIsG ACROSS THE ATLANTIC The fact
that the current voyage of the Canada, which
steamer should reach Halifax certainly to-day,
has already extended to fifteen days trip be-
tween Liverpool and New York, reminds us that
the Collins line of steamers avera god eleve day
and four hours, for FIVE years, in making their
passages from Liverpool to New York While
they were % the line tho Cunarders did their
best to compste with them as to time For the
last six months, for which time the Collins line
has been compelled to suspend the trips of their
ships, the average of the westward passages of
the Cunarders has fallen back TO fourteen days
and eight hours This increase of time in
making the passage costs the business interests
Of the United States in interest on the cost Of
the light goods they bring hither and on the
shipments of specie and bills Of exchange they
carry, perhaps far more than double the whole
expense of the mail pay to the Collins line
while 1t performed it's late services to the Gov
eminent. The saving to the Cunard line by
this increased time in which they have made
the voyage Of late, is about eight thousand dol
lars per trip, We apprehend, when calculated
according TO the data with which all steamship
men are familiar
ApTopOS-Another commercial disability re-
sulting from the suspe nsion of the trim. of the
Collins hne steamers is the fact that thu en-
naTders, for their own convenience, doubtIsss
too often start at an hour in the d.y too early
TO permit merchants to send by them letters
written after the receipt of their morning mails,
instead Of at noon, as when they had competi-
tors This change of hour is most embarrassing
10 the business interests of New York.
