TDK WRECK OF THE AMERICA. The Philadelphia Dollar Newspaper, of the 12th aays : Captsln Broadwcll, of this steamboat, wrecked off Cape Hattcras on the night of the 29th ult, arrived In this city on Friday, with the whole of, the crew. The third boat, under the charge af Gcorw Martin, the mate of the steam boat, on leaving the wreck, succeeded in reselling Hattcraa Lighthouse, a distance of seven miles, after rowing twelve hours, so much were tliey hindered by the Violence of the wind and waves. " they were kindly received by the keejwr of the lighthouse and entertained for three days, it being impossible to reach the main land on account of the heavy sea. They were at last landed at Eli tabeth City, from which place to Norfolk (hey were conveyed free of charge in a stage coach. At Norfolk, where they arrived on Wednesday, a pleasant surprise awaited them in meeting Capt. BroadweD and all their companions In misfortune, from whom they had betn separated from the time they left the wreck. All three parties came in a different direction and met at Norfolk. SILVER COIN. There will be an attempt made at tho present session of Congresa, to reduce the weight of all ver coin. The redundancy of gold certainly re quires a change in the relative value of the two metal, and the enhancement of silver is but a de preciation of tho value of gold. If some change is not made in the standard value of coin, we will soon see a regulation in the market that will sup ply the deficiency of law, in the shape of a "pre mium" for dollars. CONGRESSIONAL. In tho Senate on the 14th, Mr. Seward present d petitions for a trial, by jury, to be givcu to fu gitive slaves. Laid on the table. After tome unimportant business the Senate proceeded to the eonhlderation of Executive bu Inest, and after the doors were opened the bill regulating the mode of taking evidence in cases of contested elections was taken up and passed. Adjourned. The House, on tho 14th, after refusing to take op the private calendar took up, in Committco of the Whole, the Harbor and River Bill. After some debate, the Committee rose to meet at 7 o'clock. Evening &uion. The House re-assemblcd in committee at halt-past seven o'clock. Mr. Coogar took occasion to explain why he was absent when the vote was taken last year on the fugitive bill. He had paired off, and he said thai those who signed the pledge had bound themsel ves to oppose any measure having the tendency to prevent slavery from going into the territories. Mr. Bokee replied, and avowed niruself proud of having aigned the pledge, regarding the com pro miseas a settlement of the distracting measures, and said that he would rather turn out and catch those who resisted the law than tho fugitive. Mr. Giddings was called up, and said he was willing that Mr. Bokee should stand before the country and the world as a blood-houndit was a matter between bis conscience and his God. But he (Mr. G ) did not wish to be drawn Into the controversy. Other speeches were made, and then the IIoum adjourned. . ." INDIANA CONVENTION.

We have tome additional items of news from Mexico, to that which wo have heretofore pub lished in The Cmnurcial. The Inauguration of Qon. Arista, as President of the Republic, took placo on the 15th of Janua ry last, in the Chamber of Deputies. The Gener al cnie in, was sworn to sustain the Federal Con; stitution, seated himself and read as follows: 1 have just, in the most solemn manner, bound mysell to the nation, swearing bo I ore (Jod, in the most solemn manner, to defend the system which governs us ; impelled noi y a vain ceremony or ignoble views, but by the internal conviction which I feel, that that regime is the only one that can save us. There may now, gentlemen, be remembered throe epochs, during which our country has been illuminm-d by some rays of leliclty, dispersing fr a time the darkness whi-:h for no long n time has overshadowed us: nod ut those limes the federal system ruled. On wo claim the 4illc of men of honor or good faith if wo violate the teachings of experience 1 I believe, gentlemen, that the Government, if it comprehends '.veil its misnion, should, as far as it Is able, frivc nn impulse to, every thing that may make the State -;ood and happy ; because in this manner all the portions of society may co-operate in such n manner Hint the union may aiM-ur strong ut the moments when ft may bo called on to maintain its nio-t sacred interests. C'oiistMjneiitly ecry thing will "be done by the central authorities to enable the States to equalize the expenses and their revenues ; to multiply their ways of communication: to augment their agri cultural and commercial industry; in short to make them greet and iowerlul, attracting to their bosoms the intelligent, industrsous and enlighten ed population which they so much need. This power and grandeur, far from inducing; jealous fc.rs in the Government of the Union, will cause it the greatest pleasure, such as that with which a loving lather views the happiness of any of his children. Peace will bo maintained at anv coat as the on ly manner in which the happiness and prosperity of our comintriots can be secured. This inesti mable blessing is the first necessity of tin. .... lie, in order that the Just and legal succession of me aununistration may bamsli even the idea ol those revolts which have heretofore so distracted and impoverished us. The exact and well comprehended indenendenri' of the supreme powers, while every one is permit ted to pursue his course to his own path, in accor dance with the harmony of the whole system, and tho rigorous observance of the Constitution, will be suilicient to save us, and will restore to all the lull enjoyment of their rights, without fear of those abuses which in other times have compelled the Legislature to restrict them. This is the moment, gentlemen, at which I may declare to the nation, in presence of its represen tatives, that only gratitude for the high confidence that has been reposed in me, has induced me to accept so elevated a position, which 1 sincerely be lieve to be above my abilities ami merits. Grati tude affects me in such a manner that I shall feel myself obliged to consecrate my whole time to the public service. Protected as 1 hope by Provi dence, which knows the rectitude of my intentions and aided in my efforts by all good men, by those j wno merit the honorable title or patriot, I w ill en deavor to govern worthily the country of my birth, whose felicity is the object of my most ar nent desires. The President of the Congress. Don Mariano Yancz. responded to the abovo, congratulating the new President and the Nation on the happy event of his election, and that the sauio had been con sidered indisputably legal, also because it had not given rise to those disturbances of public peace so certain on former similar occasions. Shaking of the grave difficulties the new President would meet with, he added : "Your Excellency knows and appreciates the magnitude of them, and promises to overcome them placing as a judge of your sinccixity, the Supreme Author of &clety. "If as we ought to liojic, Your Excellency is faithful to your prog-amme if you maintain the ioace of the Republic, the safety of its Institu tions il you foment and protect the iower and prosK-rity of the Slate if Justice and Morality invariably preside in the Council of your Admin is ration, the Republic may yet cherish the conso ling hope of making firm its independence in the exterior and its liberty and happiness in the inte r or, and your Excellency will have merited well of your country." At night, the German residents paid the Presi dent a very handsome compliment. About 200 of them turned out in procession, preceded by a fine band of music, each one bearing a lighted torch, and marched to the Palace, where, forming into two circles, they sang some of their National aonga. They then retired into an outer court making a bonfire of their torches; after which, they were invited up into the apartments of the President, who received them in the kindest pos Ible Banner ; inviting them into the dining sa loon, Standing at the head of the table, he read from a bit of paper a shoil complimentary speech which was received with three cheers and cr,es of Vita tf Prciidcntt. Receiving rrecnts from Foreign Prlneea. The porcelain traveling breakfast service of Na poleon, left by his will to his mother, and by her to her grandson, the Prince de t'anino, has by him been presented to Major Cass, our Charge at Rome, a a testimonial for the kilter's attentions to the Prince, upon the overthrow of tho revo lutionary authorities. The Prince is now in Hwit eeiland. The service has bven delivered over to Major Cass, in Rome in pursuance of instructions from the I'rince to his sgentn in that city. But can he constitutionally receive it i ask the New York Express, which says : 'The last clause of section 9, of article J, of the constitution seems to us to prohibit its reception. Once a prince' always a prince, wo should say, though in exile, and so temporarily powerless. The right to receive is certainly questionable, nt the least." INTELLIGENCE FROM CHINA. By an arrival at Bonton intelligence from China to the nth of October lias ben ro cived, which represents the State of things in China as quite unsettled and thrcatning. Tho rebellion was by no means suppressed, but rather gaining ground Additional guards were conshlrml tiecrsaary for the factories at Canton. a The Free Boilers' Slate Convention of Connecti cut ba nominated the following candidate for 8tate officers, to be snpported by their followers at the ensuing Spring election, vlx : For Gover nor, John Boyd ; for Lieut. Gov. Wm. Field ; for Secretary, Joseph White ; for Comptroller, Walter Wsbb, fat Treasurer, .lessee I. Baldwin LETTER OF BISnOP CAPERS." It I well known that we object to tho intcrfer enco of tho Clergy in political matters j but Bishop Capers Los been drawn into the political arena, by the offer of an appointment in the South Caro lina Convention. In this case it is but Just that the public should know what ho says on the sub ject, as eroncous impressions might be made, and opinions imputed to him which he does not enter tain. Tu my IXllowcilizem of SjvtK Carolina: I take the liberty of addressing you, through the newspapers, on a subject of a different char acter from what has hitherto employed me; and tto so the more readily as my life guaranties my sincerity, and, on your part, personal good will. It is the lira time that I hove ever felt It my du ty to express publicly an opiuion on any matter of Stele policy. Once, indeed, during the extreue excitement which prevailed in Charleston on the subject of nullifying a law of Congress, I met.w.th the clergy of the city apart, at the instance of somo venerable citizens, to consider whether there was any thing which we might passibly do, in our sacred character, to promote peace. Bui it re sulted in nothing. We found nothing in our pow er but our prayers for the people. Ministers of religion have little to do, at any time, with mat ters of the State, more than to pray for God's guidance anil blessing on the people. Neverthe less, ministers are men are citizens : ami it. mw oe expedient, once in a lifetime ol three score- ' "uul,wi minister io appear in his character as, n citizen, and not as a mini-iler Sufllr nie. then, for this ouo tlmo, to assert my citizenship, and commune with you freely on the slate of public cflair.s. I am a citizen a son of a citizen born on the soil of South Carolina not long after it had been won, in part, by tho sword of my father. After an absence of about five months, on my sacred duties in Tennessee, Mississippi, Lousiuna, Alabama, and Georgia, 1 cauot express how pain fully it hag shocked me to be told, on my return home, that the great State measures now on foot look solely to secession from the United States by this State alone ; that the Convention shortly to be held is in order to this ; and that the only ques tion to be open there is one of time; whether to secede at once, or await the issue of the Southern Congress, and then secede. To secede at once, or at a future time, alone, must be to secede from the other Southern States no less than from the Northern. It must be a putting of the other Southern States in fault a sort of branding them as deficient in knowledge, or courage, or patriotism; or all these together. They are involved in all respects as we are, touch ing the injustice of the lute acts of Congress. We may not hold ourselves wiser nor better than they are, but as equals only ; and they are mauy, while we are comparatively few. And what, in sucn cimuusiuiiccs, win ue me prooauic judg ment of mankind respecting our action, should we Recede t If 1 may place any reliance on what lias come under my observation during my long journey through five of the principal Southern States, it is not probable that a Southern Congress, represent ing the Southern people, can be had at all ; nor. if it could be had, that It would do much, if any thing, more than the Georgia Convention did As to secession, I have no doubt that three fourths of the people would oppose it at the pres ent time. The reason of this opposition I have understood to be that they do not consider tin act of Congress to be a violation of the Constitu tion, and, in their opinion, nothing less should justify secession. I understand it to be the opin ion of our people of South Carolina that Congress has violated the Constitution. At most, then, it is a mooted jwint, and not a settled fact ; we enter taining one view of it, while a majority of the wise and virtuous of other States, greatly outnumber ing us, hold the opposite. Do we owe them noth ing 1 Is it not even due to our own self-respect to review the matter 1 Surely, we should know that we arc right, beyond dispute, before we should proceed to a final act of tho most fearful import, And ought we not to consider consequences 1 Patriotism demands not of us to run madly on to our country's ruin ; and secession, by our State alone. mut prove ruinous. What though no hos tile army might invade our soil, the United States roust and will oppose us. Charleston will be shut out from the rest of the world, her commerce iHjrish, her merchants leave her indispair; while. from her very suburbs, our rice and cotton shall be carried to Savannah and Augusta for a market. Even now the rivalry of Savannah is not to be con temned, but let our Slate secede from the Union, and Charleston must become a desolation. Nor will the blight fall on Charleston only, but on all the State ; while our taxes, increased seven fold, and the heat of the present agitation cooling off, our very leaden, if they should prove too proud to bo found knocking at the door of the Union for admission, shall join the many thou sands of our poverty-stricken people in their flight from their ruined homes to more favored parts. Can atriot!sm demand the sacrifice 1 Patriotism demand the sacrifice of the State 1 No, never. Let us then, fellow-citizens, review our ground. If a Convention we must have, Ut it mil be a Con irntwn nf Imis and half-maiir men, but nf the tri v and socr-mtiitt(d. There is no battle to bo fought for glory by secession, but a fearful struggle with poverty and high taxes, hard times, without hope of improvement, and greut and sore humiliation. And may God grant us deliverence ! WILLIAM CAPERS. CUAHLFSTON, Ft DRU4RT 0. 1861. England" and America. An English kt makes the following observa tions: ' Tho United States send us four-fifths of the raw material, which this immense Kpulation works on, and w ithout which, this immense pop ulation seems doomed to be thrown out of employ Our yearly supply of cotton from other quarters has been steadily decreasing, and in (act America is substantially the source by which, and by which alone, our cotton manufactures can be kept in healthy activity.' It is now raid that the kind of rotten ordinarily grown in Iudla cannot be made available for machinerv. NEW YORK POLITICS. If theJViw Yrrk Tfihmi, an tb.3 uncDrapromi 'sing enemy to Southern Rights, fairly represents (the state of political aflhirs In New York, wo have but little chance for justice in that quarter. Speak tig of the Fugitive Slave Law and other Compro- uise measures, the Editor says " Our Whig State Convention at Syracuse said Fo; our Whig candidate for Governor said No to ilr. Granger, and No in his Message; three-fourths four Whig Members of the Legislature say No 3ut Mr. Beekman and a small minority say Yes. No man is Whig enough for us who is not public ly pledged to sustain the Fugitive Slave Law.' And the twenty Whig Members who say and think this are deemed entitled to overrule and constrain the aclion of the eighty who think otherwise! "We have a large Whig majority in the Legis lature, three-fourths of whom aro averse to any indorsement of the Fugitive Slave law. Repeated attempts to indorse it have failed, until the thing is plainly seen to be impracticable. But there is a U. S. Senator to bo chosen: and the small minor ity seize upon this election and hope by it to co erce the majority Into subjection to their will. "You shall indorse tho Fugitive 81avo Law," is virtually their position, "or Hamilton Fish shall not be chosen Senator." And because the major ity Will not surrender, the elect ion of a Senator is defeated." The Southern reader will plainly perceivo that a laro-o nnrtim, .,r m. Whs, r v,. Yh i.v joined the Democratic Free-Soilers of that State, and aro bent upon destroying the last hope of the Union, for the sake of "nogrues' rights." We may expect, as heretofore, a little while before the next Presidential Election, a Circular from a Commit tee of Whigs, of whom Mr. Gukki.y will he the principal spokesman, asking the concurrence of the Whigs of the South in supporting some candi date for the Presidency, who will be represented as a "true Whig" and they will be entreated to help their "Northern brethren" for the sake of "Whig principles." But we guess they have play ed the last card in that game of political humbug. In these days of the "higher law" principle, w will let the Northern Whigs know we have a "higher law" than party law, when Southern Rights arc concerned. BENTON IN THE SENATE. Tho correspondent "X" of the Baltimore S.in says : There was quite a storm In the Semite, between Col. Denton and Henry Clay, whic h was after wards transfiired to a quarrel between Benton and the President of the Senate protein. Mr. Benton is evidently determined to die game, or to l ave an anchor to w indward in the shape of a two per cent., stock in Missouri. He intends, no doubt, to come to the House, where he w ill be one of the most influential and useful members. Then,- is this about Col. Benton w hich I am quite willing to ncknott ledge : he never causes regret in his antagonist for opposing him. and feeds their opposition with a degree of eagerness which re ndu s one of the Greek Prometheus dramatised by Milton. He never says ' hold, enough !'' ami in this there is virtue. What eminent uses might Col. Benton's talents be put to, if he could but divest h 'msolfof tho consideration ofself, and that species of anto-npotlicosis, which is incom patible with jH-rsonal popularity, as it is with humanity. A man may be a tyrant even in a democratic sense. I much prefer Mr. Clay's po sition. First Tldlnss of the Mcamcr Atlantic. New York, Feb. I t, P. M. Captain Williams, of the packet ship Seine, has arrived here from Havre. He reports having seen distinctly the American steamer Atlantic, when she was four days out. under a full head of steam in longitude twenty-one. The Seine has just puss ed throng li u very severe gale. Captain Williams states that he did not observe any thing remark able about the Atlantic, and so far as he could jiulgo, all on board was well. She moved as though every thing was right. He thinks if she had been ili.-uble sho could not posibly have made the Western Island, as the wind was too ungov ernable THE YORKTOWN. II ' nsirillr Arihi.'tnl of Com. M.irston. We ler.m from the Philadelphia Inquirer that Commander John Marston, of that city, who was recently tried by a naval court martial, in connection with the loss of the United States sloop of w ar York town, has been fully and honorably acquitted. This result wan aijticitated by his many friends. The following is an extract from the record ol'thc proceedings: ' The . court also thinks proper to state thnt, in arriving at the opinion and judgement as ex pressed, the evidence nnd exhibits in the can- ful ly justify the opinion that the loss of the Uuitcd States sloop of war Yorktown was occasioned by a current extraordinary ami unusual, both in strength and direction, against which, under the circumstances of the cast- no human skill and foresight could have provided. FROM ROME. We find a letter from Rome in the New York Evangelist, which says there i considerable talk of making Bishop Hughes a Cardinal, it adds : On the 5th of January the Iter Dr. Bacon, of New Haven, preached to a full audience ot the American chaM-l, anil on tho next day Archbish op Hughes made a short address at the Propa ganda.

A Medical Congress, inclu ding representatives from different states of Eu rope, is shortly to bo held, ta test the efficacy of Ccdrone seed in mental disorders mid e-pilepsy. From experiments on various animals, great hopes are entertained of its high remedial value. Somo of the seed are to be sown in the Jurdiu des Piantes. TU K INQUISITION. Sonic idea may he formed of tho cruelty and despotism of this terrible Tribunal, from the fact, that when the Inquisition was thrown open in 1H20, by order of tho Cortes of Madrid, twenty one prisoners were found in it, not one of whom knew the name of the city in which he was con fined. Not a siuglo prisoner knew of what crime he was accused. TiiKAstav Department, February 11, 1851.

DELAWARE OX THE COM ROM ISK. MEASURES. The Delaware House of Representatives have passed a series of resolutions Jn relation to the compromise measures, in which they declare the strong attachment of Delaware to the Union, ami the determination of her people to resist to the extent of their ability any infraction of the Consti tution. They express their cordial approbation of J the measures recently adopted by Congress, known as ine compromise measure, and declare that Delaware will stand by them in good faith. Any further agitation of the slave question they regard as endangering the existence of tho Union. The fugitive slave bill is declared to be in accordance with the express stipulations of the Constitution, and Congress, for passing a law which rendered the art of 1703 more effectual, Is considered as entitled to the thanks of the country.
