slumbering as soundly in a soft-cushioned, high-
backed sofa seat. as in your own quiet chain-
ber, on a a road so admirably built, that you
can scarcely hear the noise or feel the ino-
tion. No surly. stupid boors. misnained con-
ductors, are employed on this road to disturb
your slumbers, by shouting “Ticiii-'.'r!” in
your ear every fifteen minutes, and taxing
their Ingenuity to devise means of annoying
travelers. On the contrary. you here find per.
fect gentlemen, ever‘ polite and attentive to
the wants of their patrons. Herein might;
their example be advant:.geously followed "on
several roads we \vot of, although an improve-
ment ls perceptible in this respect: on most
_ of our roads. Companies used to suppose,
that with their charter. they were guaranteed
tberight of annoying the public as much as
possible, of insulting t.rave,lei-s, losing their
baggage. breaking limbs, running over ani-
mals, charging enormous fares, and coininit-
ting.various other misdemeanors. The exam-
ple of this road has had a happy influence in
correcting this evil.
In making t.liese remarks on this great
woi'k,we have no private purposes to answer,
having no more interest in the road than
every other citizen. But where a company
or individuals labor so uutiringly, encouiitor
obstacles of such magnitude, and even siicri-
lice their own private interests to a great
public good, we would award them the full
measure of praise which they so well deserve.

From Spizin. we have information of the
publication of a decree at Madrid, granting a
credit of £200,000 to the Minister of Marine,
forbuilding two steeiiiers, and the purchase of
timber for more vessels.
The decree is founded on the auginenting of

events in Cuba.

therein consequence of the arrival of an
American squadron in the 'I‘agus, to enforce
the claim of £70,000. Twenty-one days
were allowed by the American cominander
for a final reply. Fears were entertained of
a refusal. The Portuguese Government
have determined to resist, the demand.
From France there is nothing of Special

The Coma-l.—Profcssor Bond, writing from
the Camblidge Observatory, July 11th, says:
The Comet is now visible to the naked eye,
near the bright star Arcturus in the constella-
tion Bootes. It is better seen with a small
telescope or with an opera glass. A tail of
five degrees long, too faint to be discerned
with the naked eye, is visible in large tele-
scopes. lis length is four millions of miles,
and daily increasing. The nucleus of a
few hundred miles in diameter, is very
dense, apparently a solid body.
About the 20th of this month the Comet
will pass very near to the place occusied by
the earth on the25th June. lts velocity at
that point will be one hundred thousand
miles an hour.
Its distance from the Earth is now forty
millions of miles, and from the Sun one
hundred millions. It passes its Perihelion

CONGRESS.
From. the N. Y. Tribune.
‘In the Senate on MondiL_i,, After the pass-
age of some resolutions expressive of the
Senatc’s respect. for the_memory of the late
President and conferring the franking priv-
ilege on Mrs. Taylor, the Compromise bill
was once more brought forward by Mr. Clav
and the old discusion gone through with by
various Senators. The points elicited were
about as fresh as the first chapter in James’
noveL
The Ifousé adopted a resolution disapprov-
ing of the conduct of Mr. Secretary Craw-
ford in the G-ilphin business, and atlzirming
that. the Secretary of the Treasury had no
authority to pay the interest on that claim.
the vote was 115 to 63. As for other busi-
ness, none of any interest was done.
In the Senate on Tuesday, after a little
flurry about certain anti-Compromise reso-
lutions of a public meeting at Uiica, present-
ed by Mr. Seward, Mr. Rusk replied to Mr.
Bcnton’s speech on the Tcxan Boundary.-
Then a passage took place between Mr. Ben-
ton and Mr. Clay on the same subject. Mr.
VVcbster rose. to speak on the general rcsu;ts
of the bill, but,tlie subject was laid over till
to day, and the Senate -.i<.ljourned.
In the Ifuusc the admission of the dclc-
gate from New Mexico was discussed but
nothing done. The debate on that subject
ends to-day but that does not make it cer-
tain that the voting will begin.
In the Senate on VVcrlnes.'Za._7/, Mr. \Vebster
delivered his final speech on the Comprom-
ise bill, after which Mr. Bcnton’s amend-
incnt giving to New Mexico a larger terri-
tory than the bill provides was rejected. Mr
Foote also brought up some amendments,
but nothing was done with them. Mr. Hun-
ter makes a speech to-day. g
In the House animated debate ‘took place
on the admission of the delegate from New
Mexico, the Texan Representatives prophe-
sying blood and thunder from the admision.
Mr. Meade of Va. also informed the world
that had President Taylor lived we should
have had civil warin sixty days. An amend-
ment was adopted admitting the delegate for
the present Congress and another declaring
that by his admission the l-louse expressed
no opinion on the boundary question ; one
or two propositions for the killing of the bill
were rejected.
.l\’lI‘. S«..-cretary Crawford sent in’ a letter
inviting the House to have him sued in or-
der that the validity of the Galphiu claim
may be judiciall_v tested. He did not, how-
ever, propose to deposit the funds in question
until a decission shall be rendered.
In the Senate on T/l'll7‘S(Za.?/, Mr. Hunter
made an ultra Southern speech against the
Coinpromiso.
In the Ifoitsc, the admission of the New
Mexican Delegates was further debated in
Committee. Scveral amendments rejected,
and finally the original resolution of the
Committee on elections, refusing to admit the
delegate adopted by a vote of 92 to 86. —
Then the Committee ofihe VVliole rose, and
the final dccissioii came up in the House,
but before the question was taken an adjourn-
ment picvailcd.
A C-r're(Ll Sic-ecp.—Oii Saturclay the Sixth
lVaril Police made one hundred and sixteen
arrests! of these forty-nine were vagrant
women, and fifty-foiii' (thirty-six men and
eighteen women) were lceepers of houses of
ill fame. About eighty of these keepers of
vile (lens ai'e now in custody, and nearly all
of them will be sent to Blackwclfs Island.
The scene in the Five Points is wonderfully
changed. A great number of houses are
closed, and “ To Lot” is posted on the doors.
From one house in the ugliest portion of
Orange-st. and from the corner of Cross and
Little Water sis. opposite the Old Brewery,
come sounds of prayer and pmise, and words
of Cliristian cxhortation, kindness and hope.
A few weeks ago these places, and the
neigliborhood for blocks around, were vocal
with blasphemy and obscenity, sufficient to
shock the moral sensibility of Abaddon.—
