The News from the Atlantic.

The news from the Atlantic States by the Brother Jonathan is very meagre. Nothing is transpiring in the political world, as there seems to be but one party to say anything, and that party thus far holds together so well that so signs of discord come to light. The Virginia Delegation, just elected to Congress, is entirely democratic, so that in both houses of Congress there will not be a solitary Whig from old Virginia. Surely the Whig party is pretty nearly of the things that were.

The circulation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," having been prohibited in the Pope's dominions, the New York Herald thinks that the Pope must in like manner prohibit the author, and then the government may be called upon the maintain her rights. It is hardly probably that the peace of the world will be disturbed by "Uncle Tom," or its author.

A Convention consisting of Andrew Jackson Davis, William Lloyd Garrison, with Abbey Kelly and other strong minded women, was recently held at Hartford, Conn., to take into consideration the authenticity of the Bible. It was characterized by all the virulence and infidelity that have rendered such assemblages a disgrace to the people that engage in them.

The passengers on board the ship William and Mary, recently wrecked off the Great Isaacs, and whom it was feared were lost with the ship, were saved by a wrecking schooner, while the ship was drifting, just before she sunk.

Lieut. Whipple, with several assistants, left Washington on the 30th May for Fort Smith, Arkansas, where immediately upon arrival he will organize his party and proceed to survey the Pacific railroad route via Albuquerque . . .

The Maine Liquor Law was laid on the table in the Senate of New York by the casting vote of the President. The effect will be equivalent to indefinite postponement.

Madame Alboni left New York on the 1st of June for Europe, in the Africa. She has been a year in the country, and carries out of it $20,000 in exchange for her singing.

The Crystal Palace will be completed and opened to the public on the 15th of July, according to theNew York Herald.

Delegates to the Memphis Convention have been chosen in all the important cities of the South. One important object of this convention is to make Memphis or some other Southern port the terminus of the Pacific Railroad. The New Orleans people do not appear to like this idea, as it will not conduce especially to the prosperity of that city to have Memphis the great inland city of the Mississippi. Col. Benton, who is mortally opposed to Memphis, has gone to Washington to finish his book, treating the Convention with contempt. Whether he supposed his voice would not be heeded if he attended it or despised the influence of the Convention as too insignificant to merit his attention is not known.
