The settlement of this territori al question embraces that of Slavery also, and there may be a disposition in the House to the “Wilmot Proviso," or something like it, to the fifteen millions appropriation. 1 Mr. Buchanan has taken sides against the “W - mot Proviso,'' and his' followers in Congress are with him.in their hostility to Liberty.

Boakd or Tkadz.—At the stated meeting of the Board, Tbos. Rakewcll, Esq, in the Chair, on Thursday evening, the subject of steam navigation upon our Western Waters was brought before the bpard. Since the explosion of the A. N. John* son,' Ihe citizens of Cincinnati, with the active con* currence of the entire Steamboat interest, hove been engaged in the disoovery of preventive means by which,.life and property may be made more se cure. . . A memorial has been the result of thdir labor, giving much valuable information. With the me morial has been drafted a law, Intended to reg ulate the navigation of boats, and the conduct of pilots,.which we annex: PilotaqiLaw.— lt is the opinion of practical men, that many incompetent Pilots ore employed, —both from unwillingness of owners to pay enough for the services of good ones, and from the fact that there is no legal mode, or established test by which the competency of Pilots maybe knodrn, nor re gulations for the -conduct of boats passing each other on the river. To remedy its qualifications, and establish certain’rules of river navigation in the West, on these principles, viz: 1. By establishing a Board of Pilots for the exami nation of Pilots. ; - To providejbr the Registry of all competent - 3. To provide rules for the conduct of Pilots, While boats are passing each other on the river. 4. To make Owners and Captains responsible for losses arising from the in competency of Pilots. Pilots also responsible. In accordance with these' principles, we recom mend to yonr honorable body the passogeof a Law, of which the following shall be the principal feat ures: .1 &e. 1. That it shall be the duty of the United States Collector of Customs, in each of the pons of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Louisville, SL Louis, and New Orleans,’to appoint in each year, a Pilot of character and standing, to act os President .of a Board of Pilots. V : See. 2. The President, after taking the requsile oath, shall appoint six other Pilots of good stand ing, who, after being sworn, shall serve in the board for a year. Vt t 1 See. 3. Tbe Pilots who are thus appointed, shall be constituted and styled a ‘•Board of Pilots," who •hall have power to administer oaths, and hear testi mony regarding the good or bad qualities, standing or character of applicants for being licensed to the office of Pilot, ond to grant licenses to those who, from such examination, the Board judge* worthy. See. 4. The' Board shall grant certificates of li cense to Pilots. See. 5. No certificate or license shall be granted 'to aay applicant without such applicant first estab.* tubing to satisfaction of said Board . that' he is a person of good character, of sober and industrious habits, and every way capable of discharging tbe duties of n first Pilot. See. Q. A record of all the names of Pilots who have license, shall bekept by tbe President; and on adjournment uf the Board, said records shall 1* deposited, with the Officer of the Customs, and be laid before' the Board at its next meeting. '■ Sec. 7.ltahillbethedatyof a a descend ing boat, when nearing an ascending boat, in tbe night, tq cause the engines to be stopped, when a sufficient distance off to here his headway lost on coming up with tbe ascending boat. The descend ing boat shall, keep straight down with the current, in as near theraiadle of tbe channel as possible, until the following signal shall be heard from the ascending boat, as it is the duty of the ascending boat to do tbe dodging. Sec. 8. If the ascending Pilot wishes to pass up to the right,!! shall be his duty to bit the bell one tap, and jvbeb answered.by one tap of the bell by tbe descending boat, be wul have a right to expect he or both understand each other'"and can bear or shape their coarse accordingly. '< See. 9. The tame rale shall be observed for pas*- log to the left, except hit the hell twice hr going left and oncefor going to the right Ser. 10. If two boats should meet in the night in a narrow channel, and after observing .Ihe afore mentioned rales there stfllappears to be danger, it shall be the duty of the ascending FOot to cause his engine or engines to be stopped and keep his boat waiving, ax instructed by the bells,. until bis boat islanded or against a bar; and if all the above precautions Will appear unavailing, it shall be tbe duty of tbe descending Pilot to have’ his engiae or engines backed. . See. 11. Any Pilot who suffers himselfto be Re lated to, or prevailed upou to ran a boat when and where he thinks it not safe, shall be deemed an -unfit person to have the license to Pilot, and- with, he or they Who dictate or prevail, shall be ."held amenable for all loss of life or property that may oc<4r byso doingi ’ See. 12. The Pilot shall have complete control of the navigation of the boat while sbeis under way, but phi}! at all times slop his engines and land the boat when the Captain so orders, if it-is safe so'to do;-and if he (tbe Pilot) in his judgment deems it unsafe to run; bo shall land at the first safe place of landing, or come to anchor, as he may deem best. ; . . ■ Your Memoriahsu further represent, that a simi lar Law io reference to (he business and profession of Steamboat Engineers is also necessary. But, on this subject, the Report of Details hasahready teen laid before Congress, bv petitions and memorial* from the Association of Engineers in this city. Io reference, therefore, to the Esoixeeks' Law—-We oaly say, that as regards any »a«r tout honorable body'may enact in refer ence lo Steam Engineering, we deem it absolutely essential that distinct provision should be made for engineering oh our "western waters, -as it differs esMalially from that of the East' For further in formation os (bis subject, we would beg leave to call your attention to the Supplemental Petition of Practical Steam Engineers and others, of the city of Cincinnati; printed by the Hour* of Representa tives, at tbe Im session of the 2Sth Congress, and to the UU No, 71 If. R- framed in accordance with tbe recommendations therein contained.' ' Joshua Hanna Esq., introduced to (be meeting Capt J. F. Fuller, and Sir. lewis Werdea of Cin cinnati, one a practical pilot, and .the other an en gineer, wbo hare been delegatcd to bear the me* morial of Cincinnati to Cocpesa, and to make such explanations as may be required The object of their attendance .was 19 (he concurrence of Pittsburgh in this movement to procure legisla tion Jo correct a great eviL , To.give the meeting a Correct idea of the legislation asked’by fcracio- proposed law we have copied was read and afterward* made the subject of discussion. Mr. John McFaden disagreed with the law, ftu tsmoch as it appeared to take (he control of a boat from tbe Captain, and this would take trom tbe pas* sengers, one whom they would be glad in trouble lo consult with. He was opposed to a law remo ving responsibility from the Captain. ; . It was fßggested that law only made the pilot resjjcnsible when ib# frpcl was nadcr weigh. Mr N. B. Craig.then suggested that a law firm to the pilot the control bC tbejxtff •'>'• >. ~ ••' him. by custom when in •* ' t was the case at tk» east. f ’ ’ very promptly’ replied ty*/, oBeL {The niantparftr^: the east is ia v So'diflerenljrv nty is also given by refusing to insure an */o«u* note Captain-, or to employ an ignorant , pilot so that ii wfllhe seen that public opinion and private ■ enterprise controls the eastern pilots, and not -cur tom, or both united.] ;' * - Mr. Bakewelisnggested and went to the heart of the matter by| saying .that, the proposed law to have pilots and engineers examined as to their qualifica tions x Would be useless, without the final decision as tojthew qualifications rested with the Boards- of Trade and Commerce in the various cities. As.ev ideneeof this he would call attention to theinspec* l ion now prescribed by law of boats hulls and en* ginea. It was notorious that no competent man had filled the place here and the law was a nullity. Jadges of Courts were not the men to make these appointments. ;We wanted practical men up on, such matters, and not mere politicians.. We wanted too, men in business .who know what com petence as on inspector meant. The discussion was taking rather a wide range, when oqc of the gentlemen front Cincinnati -rose to explain. They came to ask. Pittsburgh to aid them in procuring proper legislation, not to dismiss the question of what kind of regulation was no cesaairy. After this explanation had brought the acr tioQof the meeting back to the main question, a resolution was jpossed seconding the object for which the Cincinnati delegation are now en route for Washington, Besides Uiis resolution other measures were ta ken to give tbe subject the attention it deserves. A committee was appointed to confer with the commanders, engineers and pilots of tbe Pittsburgh steam marine, iwbo are to make a report next Thursday evening at tbe Board of Trade Rooms, at which tbe merchants, engineers and pilou are requested to attend. The Committee appointed consisted ofF. Lorenz- Mr. Livingston, J. Hanna, W. JTotteo. CapL May’ and N. B. Craig. The repart of tbe Committtcc and the action of the Board meeting, will bo embodied in a memorial to Congress. Taxis, Cojtsussioxs, rm —On motion of Mr. McFaden, a Committee of three was appointed to prepare a tariff.of charges to be mado for sales, purchases, forwarding and other purposes, similar to rules in force in other commercial cities. The Committee named is composed of Messrs- Caro th ere, Von Bonnliorst and Waterman. The movement is a good one and its successful prosecation must be of very great advantage to the trade of the city.

It is very however, that the friends and pa trons of thd institution, and those who have the will and the means to aid Seminaries of Learning, should contribute funds for tbe purchase of addi tional ground on the-river, and to endow one or two more professorships. In this way the cause'of science and learning would be much better promo ted, than by removing the students and professor* to the crowded vicinity of the Court House and the *‘lnns ofCourt.” The efficient and practical ad iniuitfiration of its allnira by the present Professor* and Teachers,-luis attracted the attention and de serves the aid of all friends of a liberal education. The establishment of n high school connected with our public schools, would contribute to tbe success of the University, by increasing the number of scholars prepared to pursue the higher branches of science.’ Any attempt to change the . present kvatiou of the buildings, or to mix up tlie alfairs of tbe institution withjtbe public schools would pro duce discord and contusion prejudicial to its use fulness and stability. • ’C.

THE TAYLOR FESTIVAL. tVsih'lßgtsa and linens Vista, J The Chinese saloon of the great Museum Build* mil wnsan Tuesday thronged itl an early hour io the eveninj:, the occasion being the Ion? expected ? festival in ihonor of Washington’*’ liirlli-ttay and the Battle of Buena Vista. Fivp tables were spread 1 the whole length of the immense Saloon, capable t of accommodating seven hundred aud seven per . aims. The President of the evening was Josiah l liandell, Km]. 'After the dinner had been discussed and silence restored, the President rose and said, that the as , semblage was cnllc«l together to celebrate two of r the most interesting events in the history of our country. :The llfith anniversary of the birth of Washington, and the first anniversary of the buttle i of Ihienu Vista. To Washington history afforded I no compeer. Ho then alluded to General Taylor tuul his HcliieyeinemsL lie snuMhat he was vie* : toriotis beyond a parallel, and in rctarn for it lie : wus left without aft army. Gen. Santa Anna had . announced to the Mexican Congress that on the 1 22d of February, the birtlt-day of Washington, he would attach the American army with' an over* . whelming force, hoping that, on that sacred day f success would crown his anns. The resalt is , known. Victory rested on our little army. The f God of battles was in our favor. Let m* return him i thanks, (iratcfulns we feel to the heroof the four first great virtorio of the American arms, those i battles clotio would not be sufficient to entitle him i to nur suffrage*. lie is a Whig. The speokerthen nlluded to the origin of the Wmg party, saying that he wnj present at its for mation in the State House yard, under die mi* pices Of the Hon. John Sergeant. He then allud ed to the vicissitude* of the iwrty, jt* struggles. 4: defeats. He said that therefore We were not will ing lo alm'udon our organization, and. we therefore ‘ present Gen.-Taylor u* a Whig candidate. That he is a Whig, lot his letter iu the possession of Mr. Harrow nttpM. Thai,,lm is a Whig of the school of Henry Clti’y. {EnthnsiaMfic and long continued chrmng.) Let the sage of Ashland determine.— That he is a Whig, let the admonitory tone of the proas of oar opponents determine, why.'do we find the tone of that press most terrific ngn>n,»t General Taylor.' It is because he will bo success lul—as General Taylor rises'they fall—a* he falls they rise. ‘.With him a* our candidate success « certain—our unhappy country will be relieved from the thraJdroM under which *be‘suiter*.

The Volunteers of l'cnftsyl vania received three cheers. The meeting adjourned after a most pleasant evening.— Rorth Awriedu. Hk>ry, Clxy w Nsw Yof^—The Coipraon Councils of New York, by an unanimous vote of both branches,' irrespective of party, have in (lie most complimentary manner,* invited Henry Clay to visit that city and receive the generous hospital* ities of the jpeal commercial emporium..
