TELEGRAMS. News from Pike's Peak and Utah. LEAVENWORTH, K. Jan. Pike's Peak Express Company have decided to run in connection with their line a pony express from Leavenworth to Sacramento city; California.

The time for the trip is fixed at ten'days, and, under the admirable system of this company, there is little doubt but that this will be accomplished. The Post Office Department has ordered the Utah service back to its oiiginal time, and a weekly instead of a semi-monthly mail. In addition to the amount of gold received by the Pike's Peak Express yesterday, about worth is reported by private hands. The statement of the loss of 1,700 head of cattle in Ruby Valley, Utah, belonging to Russell, Majors Waddell, is not credited, as the private advices of this firm up to the departure of the mail make no mention of it. The winter in Salt Lake valley is represented as having been very severe, and has doubtless been, to some extent, fatal to the stock wintered there.

The mail was packed as far as Fort Laramie. The command at that post was in good health. Considerable disorder existed at camp Floyd, and a soldier had been murdered by an unknown assassin. Geneial Johnston was using every exertion to preserve quiet. The Salt Lake 5 alley Tan says, of over two hundred murders committed in that Territory within the past three years, not a single offender has been convicted or punished.

From MrLitm 1 at New Orleans Awaiting; Further Instructions. NEW ORLEANS, January The United States sioop-of-war Brooklyn, from Vera Cruz on the 24th, touched at the mouth of the river yesterdav bound to Pensacola for coal and provisions, and landed Hon. Mr. McLane, who came here in the steamer Moses Taylor. He will remain, here a week and return again aboard the Brooklyn.

Mr. McLane has important dispatches for the Government and has come here to await further instructions by telegraph. Vera" Cruz was quiet when the Brooklyn left. A detachment of U. S.

marines have been stationed at Tmnpico and Minititlan for the protection of American citizens in consequence of Miramon's threatened expedition to the coast. The trigate Saratoga was at Vera Cruz, and the Savannah was daily expected. Accounts from the city of Mexico of the 19th say that Miramon was preparing an expedition against General Carvajal atFlascola. The clergv refuse to grant Miramon funds for the proposed Vera Cruz expedition, considering it only a ruse to raise money. Miramon proposed starting on the 28th.

Another proclamation has been issued by Miramon, who again protests against the McLane treaty. The British Minister had presented an ultimatum, demanding the payment of indemnities. The Liberals have retaken all the Pacific posts captured by Miramon. From Wnshington. WASHINGTON, January Hyatt, the President of the National Kansas Aid Committee, has written to Senator Mason a letter, in answer to the subpeena to appear before the Harper's Ferry raid investigating committee, on the Ist of Feb ruary, in which he informed the Committee that while he will so far regard the summons as to appear before them, yet he will not answer their interrogations.

He calls in question the exercise by a legislative body of are neither incident to the Government, nor conferred by an express provision of the Constitution. In this position Mr. Hvatt is sustained by the best legal advice of Massachusetts and New York. James Redpath, of Maiden, the author of the Life of John Brown, has been subpoenaed aiso, to appear and testify; but in a very spicy, ar.d what may be called saucy letter, refuses to comply with the summons. Judge Smalley is now in Charleston, making arrangements for the meeting of the Democratic National Convention.

The resident committee here are already engaged in preparing for the Presidential campaign, and sending out political documents. Arrival of the Overland California Mail. MALLOY'S STATION, Jan. 30. Overland California mail, bringing San Francisco papers of the 9th, and telegraphic advices of the 10th, has arrived.

Governor Weller sent his last annual message to the Legislature on the Oth. Governor Latham, his snccessor, would be inaugurated the same afternoon. A Senatorial caucus was held on the Cth when nine ballots were had for a United States Senatorial nominee. The last ballot stood: Weller, 42, Denver 33, Baldwin and Washington each 0, McDonall 5. The caucus then adjourned till the 10th inst.

Democrat ic Caucus. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, Democratic members of the House have been in caucus tonight. Thcv have made no nomination for Speaker, but appointed a Committee to take action with the view of concentrating the votes of those opposed to Mr. Pennington ou one of their own number, probably Mr.

McClernand. The impression is that the contest for Clerk of the House will be between Mr. Edward Ball, of Ohio, Col. Forney and Mr. Underwood, of Kentucy.

Movement of tlic Kcnfucky ami Tennessee Legislatures. CINCINNATTI, an. the banquet last night, in honor of the distinguished guests of the city, Governor Dennison read a telegraphic despatch troin Governor Morgan, of New York, in behalf of the Legislature of that State, inviting the Legislatures ot ICentucy, Tennessee and Ohio to visit Albany. The despatch was enthusiastically received. This morning, after witnessing the operations of the Fire Department, the guests visited Nicholas Longworth's house, where they were hospitably entertained.

The Kentuckv Legislature left for Frankfort at one o'clock, and the Tennessee Legislature for Louisville at four o'clock this afternoon. Another Pin- at New York. NEW YORK, Jan. The building, No. 115 Fulton street, occupied by Messrs.

Ward, Close wholesale druggists, was almost entirely destroyed by fire this morning. The aggregate loss of Messrs. Wynkoop, Ilallenbeck A and Mr. Robert Bonner, whose establishments were burnt on Saturday night, and that of Messrs. Ward, Close amounts to $175,000.

steamer O. A. Tyler, with a cargo of five hundred tons of merchandise, from Cincinnati bound to New Orleans, when thirty miles below Cincinnati yesterday morning, struck an old wreck and sunk in thirteen feet of water. The loss on her cargo is heavy. The steamer was valued at $25,000, and is insured for $15,000.

She can probably be raised. Ship Aews. NEW Y'OBK, Jan. Arrived bark Ann E. Grant, from Rio, with dates to Dec.

his dughter, Mrs. Maishall, and Mrs. Lewis, a nurse. The latter is dying, but the others may recover. Suspicion rests against a servant, who has been arrested.

The Expected Steamer. SACKVILLE, Jan. A despatch from Halifax, dated BP. says there are no tidings of the America. The line has since closed for the New York Bank Statement.

NEW YORK, Jan. The weekly returns of the city banks show a decrease of $757,000 in loans, SBO.OOO in circulation; and an increase of $830,000 in specie and $49.000 in deposits. FROM CPINA. advices from China, communicated in a letter to the Savannah Republican, from an officer on the U. S.

sloop-of-war Hartford, at Hong Kong, Nov. 15, say "The struggle will he in the neighborhood of Pekin, it is thought, as the determination of John Bull is to do something decisive, and if the expectations of some are realized, the capital of the Celestial Empire will soon be visited by armed barbarians. All anticipate an obstinate resistance, as the recent affair on the Peiho has elevated John Chinaman's idea of his military powers to a wonderful extent. Whether or not we are to be drawn into this war the future will decide; there is little or no prospect of it at present, though it is the sanguine hopeof some American residents in China, tbat-we may be under the necessity of burning 'villainous The English are anxious for us to join in the melee, of that you are aware." CITY INTELLIGENCE. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BALTIMORE UNITED FIRE OF Last night being the last Monday in January, the annual meeting for the election of officers of the Baltimore United Fire Department took place in the room in the third story of the old City Hall.

The meeting was organized by calling Mendez 1. Cohen, to the chair; Mr. James Young, Secretary.

EXAMINATION BEFORE THE UNITED STATES COM- MISSIONF.R. at twelve, the negro, Benjamin Brown, charged with the killing of George Crozier, had a further hearing before United States Commissioner Hanna. Capt. Trower, not on board when Crozier was killed; the gun used by the negro was back ot the inner berth of witness' cabin, from whence the negro took it; the accused had no business in the berth, and witness had forbidden him to enter that apartment under any circumstances; the gun had been fired off once during the passage; when witness was reloading the gun the accused passed and saw the operation; was particular to keep the gun out of the sight of the accused; had my reasons for doing so on account of the boy's former actions; witness had driven the boy out of the cabin sometime previous to the shooting, because he stole wine; the accused had been acting as cabin boy until witness drove him out. James Burns, second mate, Brown coming out of the cabin just after the shot was fired; he was smiling; witness said "Brown, you've been using the Captain's pistols;" the accused answered "yes;" when Brown saw that he had shot Crozier, he exclaimed, "Oh my God 1 they'll hang me; I hope to God they will hang me;" after Crozier was lying on the deck, the negro stooped down over the body, and weeping, said, "Oh God 1 George I didn do it on purpose, God knows I didn't." Willis testified the same as on Friday last; he said that Brown had told him and several others, that he spoke to Crozier and threatened to shoot him, but the gun went off accidentally.

Mr. Addison said that the crime could not be less than manslaughter, and he was strongly of the opinion that it was murder in the first degree. He requested the Commissioner, providing he deemed it a bailable offence, to require good bail and of sufficient amount. The boy was committed to jail for trial in March next.

They remained in this complexion until the time they were discharged. Mr.

Sunday night Michael Coleman, one of the party that made the assault on Sunday afternoon on Charles N. Myers, and who was shot by him, was arrested by one of the Eastern district officers. He was taken in his crippled condition to the Eastean district police station, when Justice Griffin held him to bail for Court.

Coleman is not seriously wounded. ANOTHER ARREST. officer Robert Brooks, of the Western district, arrested on a bench-warrent a young man named Edward Tully, charged with being concerned in the robbery of Mr. George Rush, by which that person is saiil to have lost some S7OO. Tully was committed to answer at Court.

Hiram Eckel and Wesley Gade wore previously arrested on the same charge. FIRES. The alarm of Fire at 11J4 o'clock on Sunday night was occasioned by the rekindling of the fire in a house on Elbow lane, in the rear of the Columbia street Methodist Episcopal church. The flames were extinguished without the aid of the Fire Department. The whole department was called out however, by the haste of the police officers.

The alarm of fire at half-past eight o'clock last night, was occasioned by the burning of a new three-story house, corner of Madison avenue and McMahon streets. The building was in the course of erection and was finished with the exception of a portion of the plastering. It was owned bv a Gentleman in Philadelphia, and was built by Jas. M. Lester.

We were not able to learn whether Mr. Lester was insured or not. The entire loss will amount to $7,000. INQUESTS. Yesterday morning Coroner Sparklinwas called to hold an inquest over the body of a man who died in the Middle district police station, named Robert Richmonds.

About half-past ten o'clock the night previous, he had been brought to the station, at the of Mrs. Ellen Jordon, with whom he boarded, No. 100 North street, on account of disorderly conduct in her house. He appeared to be in an excited condition, and gave evidence of delirnin tremens. At four o'clock in tiie morning he was found dead in the room.

The jury rendered a verdict of death from causes produced by intemperance and exposure. The deceased had been in the employ ot Hall Brother, provision dealers, No. 3 Pleasant Street, but a few days since was discharged on account of his dissolute Coroner Sparklin took charge of the body to await an order from the brothers of the deceased, who are wealthy merchants in New York city, relative to its disposition. VETO MESSAGE OF THE MAYOR. MAYOR'S OFFICE, BALTIMORE, Jan.

30, 1860. To the Honorable, the Members of the First and Second Branches of the City Council: GENTLEMEN: return, without my signature, the ordinance entitled "an ordinance to establish a police for the city of Baltimore." In my annual message communicated to your Honorable body, on the lfith I took occasion to ordinance approved June 11, 1858, establishing a police for the city will require material modification. 1 deem it proper however, to defer for the present any recommendation upon the subject." It was my purpose in thus delaying to communicate with your Honorable body upon a subject engrossing so large a share of the public attention, to await the action of the Legislature in relation to a reform in our criminal division of the wards into more convenient election precincts, and the enactment of a proper registry law for the better protection of the ballot-box, all of which would have entered largely into any plan which I might have deemed it mv duty to present, in reference to the re-organ ization of the police department. Since then the measures reported to the of which, I am credibly informed, will be certain to receive the sanction that of a character to confirm, rather than diminish my desire for delay; and to satisfy me that any action on your part at this particular juncture would be of doubtful expediency. The city of Baltimore should not weaken her position by precipitate haste in matters of such grave importance.

Your Honorable body do me the justice to believe that no one in this community could be found to unite more cordially in any judicious plan for the prompt reorganization of the police and its remoral from all partisan influences. Apart, however, from these considerations, I most respectfully object to any interference with the power of this office. Section 1 of the ordinance submitted for my approval provides that within three days from its passage, "there shall be elected by the City Council of Baltimore, in Convention assembled, four Commissioners, who shall, together with the Mayor of the city, at the time bc-ing, constitute a Board, to be known as the Board of Police Commissioners of the city of Baltimore, To this Board is confided the duty of organizing and appointing a police corps, and of preserving order within the city limits. The act of 1817 provides that "the Mayor of the city shall nominate, and hy and with the advice and consent of the twe Branches of the City Council, shall appoint all officers under the corporation, except the Register of the city, and the clerks employed by the citv or under'their authority." The Mayor is then asked, for what reason is not stated, to "dispossess himself of one of the most important functions of his office. A power vested in him by the charter of the city, and tor which he i 3 held accountable to the people from whom he holds his trust.

This he cannot consent to do. With great respect your obedient servant, Tnos. SWAN'S, Mayor. AMUSEMENTS THIS EVENING, Jan. 31, 1860.

HOLLIDAY STREET Mature and Art. The Pet of the Petticoats. Miss Maggie Mitchell in both pieces. XEOROES IN correspondent of the New York Herald, wiiting from Toronto, January 10th, says: Your Southern friends derange their digestion foolishly by their irritation against us Canadians for our imputed complicity in robbing them of their niggers. We have our quota of fanatics and enthusiasts, the normal condition of all society included within the domain of civilization, but the mass are apathetic, and the laboring classes not overanxious to encourage the importation of competitors.

Lord Klgin, always on the watch to convert passing excitement to bis own personal glorification, created in Western Canada the Elgin settlement, especially for escaped experiment for which the farmers of that settlement hear him no good will. If their opinions could be collected they would say that the negro element is unfitted to'mix with the whites, not wanted in our labor market, and tends to lower the standard of society. Far better for colored gentlemen to exercise their faculties on the west coast of Africa, or in the sugar islands. POTOMAC FISHERIES. writer in the National Intelligencer, brings up again the subject of the Potomac Fisheries, and recommends "that laws be passed cutting down the seines to six or eight hundred yards, and abolishing gill-nets for ever." Also that the fishing season be closed on the 20th of May.

The following occupied yesterday: On the opening of the Whitney remarked that he had understood that the jury in the case of Alex. Gale, which had been out since Thursday, had not remained together, but that one of them, disregarding his oath taken before the Court, had left the jury-room during Saturday night and gone home. If this was so, he (Whitney) would object to taking any verdict from them, as under the circumstances, exceptions would be taken and the case would have to be tried again.

He would ask that the jury be sent for, and let the Court hear and ascertain the facts. If it was true that a juror had separated, as alleged, the party should be punished for a contempt, and the panel discharged. The jury was accordingly sent for, and came into Court. In reply to the Cleik, the foreman said they had not agreed. Judge the Court is much troubled about your not being able to agree, after being out so" long.

The Court thinks the Legislature will have to enact different laws in regard to jury trial. As in some countries fifteen men compose a jury, and two-thirds of them can make a verdict. Fbe Court only throws this out as to what might be done. Now here, a man is to be starved out for a verdict. "A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still." The Court is very reluctant to discharge you; the Court has heard that one of the jurors left the jury-room and went away; this is an offence which is punishable by tine and imprisonment: the Court will now pr oceed to hear the testimony in regard to this matter.

Mr. up officer Burke. Mr. Burke, one of the bailiffs, was called and sworn. He stated that himself and bailiff Elder took charge of the jury on Suturday afternoon about o'clock; the jury remained together in their room; tbe jury went to bed about 11 o'clock, and at he went into the room with a lamp and found all of them there; Mr.

Robinson was there; the door leading to tbe water-closet was locked and the key out of the lock; was satisfied all was right, and left the room, locking the door from the outside; came down stairs and found the door leading to the street locked and the key out; went to the bar room door and got a cigar, then went up stairs and smoked about ten minutes, after that went to bed; was awakened about six o'clock by some of the jurors; got up and went down and unlocked the door of the jury-room; the foreman then said that Mr. Robinson had gone out; was surprised; found that he had gone out the door lpading to the closet; whiletalking with some of the Jurors Mr. Robinson returned; told him he had done wrong to leave, and also that it would be reported to the Court; Robinson said he did not care, and was glad of it; he said he had sent for a shirt and could not get it, and went out for it; do not know how he got out of the house. Mr. fact is established, sir, that the jury have separated; under the circumstances a verdict cannot be taken.

The jury will have to be discharged. 1 consent to their being discharged, sir. hear what the jurors know about it. Mr. Mr.

Farland. Mr. Daniel Farland, being sworn, said that be knew Mr. Robinson bad left the jurv-room, but did not know at what time; he saw Robinson, through the window, in the street, Sunday morning; when we were going to Sherwood's on Saturday, Robinson said: "It's not very clear to my mind, that I won't go home to-night;" did not caution him about such an act, thought the man understood his position better. any of the other jurors know any thing about this? Mr.

Caughy what have you to say? Mr. Caughy (foreman) said he knew that Mr. Robinson had gone off; did not know the exact time; think he vas absent about an hour or an hour and a half. Another juror said that he saw Mr. Robinson in the street about 8 o'clock Sunday morning.

Robinson, the Court is satisfied that you have misbehaved, in leaving the jury as you did; this is an offence the Court must punish by fine and imprisonment; what have you to say in relation to vour conduct. Mr. have been witnesses examined here, sir, to criminate me; if I am to be visited with any penalty, I think I ought to be heard; I ought be allowed to rebut that testimonv; there are some circumstances connected with tbe matter which, if heard, would extenuate the act, particularly about the period of time I was absent. don't make a bit of Have you any testimony to contradict the fact that you were out of the jury-room? How long you were out is of no consequence. 1 Mr.

can show circumstances connected with the affair, which would mitigate my offence, if any. This thing would not have been brought to the notice of your Honor, if the bailiffs were not endeavoring to screen their own conduct, which might be censured by the Court. ought to have known better. If a juror goes out and separates from the other jurors, they will have to be discharged ai.d the case all tried over again, your conduct is deserving of punishment. Mr.

Honor, I was called as a tales in this case last Tuesday, bv Sheriff Alford. I tried to get off but could not. lam an officer of a public institution in the city, working for mv bread at a very small salary. I came to this Court and unfortunately was selected on the jury. On Saturday when you directed the jury to go'to a hotel, at their own expense, being an extremely poor man, and knowing that I could not afford to pay two dollars a day for board, I asked that word be sent to my family for linen and something to eat.

Mv son brought a bundle to me, and one of the bailiffs said that I could not get it without its being first examined. My son then said the bailiff could'nt have it; when I went home on Sunday morning, I was told that the bundle was sent to me; when I returned I saw a bundle in the jury-room, which was directed to Mr. Roberts; I opened it and found a note from my wife, saving it was for me; if I had got that bundle, I would'nt have gone away. Bailiff' Elder said he was told to give the bundle to Mr. Roberts.

(One of the jurors is named Roberts. Judge Stump then said to Mr. Robinson, that he had, by his conduct, interfered greatly with the business of the Court; the jury would have to be discharged and the whole case be tried over again. This was putting the city to great had come here a hundred miles and would have to be summoned again, causing much trouble; the Court was compelled to punish such behavior, and would fine the juror $25 and imprison him three days; the Court will have to discharge the jury now. Mr.

wouldn't have got a verdict from this jury. The Court then discharged the special panel, and ordered Mr. Robinson into the custody of the Sheriff. The cases of Geo. Robinson, John Shields and Charles Brown, the Federal Hill hack rioters, were postponed until this morning, the counsel for the defence not being ready to go on.

In the case of Jacob Fumbaugh, indicted for burglary, bail was fixed at $2,000, but not given. John Ridgway, magistrate, charged with malfeasance in office, gave bail in the sum of SBOO, Mr. Danskin becoming his bondsman. The Court adjourned at o'clock until 10 o'clock this morning.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE MARYLAND LEGISLATUREANNAPOLIS, January 30. SENATE. Mr. GOLDSBOROUGH, of Talbot, obtained leave to introduce a bill entitled "An act to amend the 99th section of the 42d article of the Code of Public General Laws, which provides for ordering out the militia in case of insurrection or threatened invasion, insurrection or opposition to the laws, so as to exempt the city of Baltimore from the provisions of said section." A bill was received from the House to incorporate Washington County Railroad Company, which was referred to the Committee on Internal Improve, ments. Mr.

LYNCH, from Committee on Corporations, reported a bill to incorporate the Baltimore City Passenger Railway, which was read the first time.

HOUSE OF DELEGATES.

In consequence of the death of an intimateconnexion, Milton Y. Kidd, did not appear in his place at the Clerk's desk. Before the reading of the Journal, Mr. Miller moved that C. B.

Montague, of Baltimore, act as Clerk until the return of Mr. K. Mr. Miller stated that out of pure friendship for the Clerk, Mr. Montague had volunteered to act in this capacity.

Mr. Kidd desired it, and thought there could be no ob jection. After an interval Mr. Miller withdrew his motion, and offered an order to the effect that the Speaker appoint a Chief Clerk, pro which was carried, and Mr. Montague was, after some delay, selected to fill the vacancy.

The Journal, orders of the day, and bills for second reading, were read. By Mr. petition of Rev. J. Dolan and others, of Baltimore, for Orphans' Referred to Committee on Corporations.

The petition is as follows: "The penetenshery law ought to be repeled concirnen the cohered popelation, if they steal they shall be tride before som justis of the pece, and if found gilty find them dolar for dolor acordin to the Mosaic law, and all cost, and sel him all sept if he run awaydubel there time.

The Clerk declared the petition to be Low Dutch, and that he could not read it. Mr.

CHAPLAIN then took it and read it, considerble laughter prevailing. The petition was referred to Committee on Colored Population. A message from the Senate, informing the House of the passage of the Baltimore Police Bills by that body. Referred to Committee on Judiciary under the rule. By Mr.

Mr. MACKUBBIN, of Committee on Claims, reported an order providing that tbe pay of each ot the witnesses summoned from Baltimore city in the contested election cases be $2 for mileage, and a per diem of S3.

Several alterations were suggested, and the order was re-committed to the Committee on Claims. Mr. MORGAN, of Allegany, presented an order to compel the pages of the House to file the bills and journals of each member of this House. The order was adopted, and, upon motion, re-considered. Mr.

FORD moved to lay the motion to re-consider on the table. Carried. Mr. MORGAN moved that he be allowed to hire a man to tile his bills, regulate his desk, Ac. He said his order had been killed.

He could not attend to the business in person. He had employed a man to do the work, but was denied admission to the floor. As a last resort he asked this favor. The SPEAKER said there was no difficulty about the matter. He would give the gentleman permission to do as desired.

A Senate message was received reporting a House bill authorizing the Comptroller to adjust and settle the claims of the grain inspectors of Baltimore. It was discovered that the bill had only gone to a third reading and ordered to be printed in the Senate. It was, therefore, returned to the Senate unacted upon. Mr. BRISCOE offered an order to appoint a special page to attend to the bills and papers of the members of the House at a salary of 2 per day.

Mr. FORD called the ayes and nays. I'he order was 26, aves 22. Mr. JACOBS, of Worcester, offered a message to the that body be at once called upon to take up the resolutions lately adopted by the House, instructing the delegates of Maryland in Congress with regard to tbe election of a Speaker.

Mr. JACOBS briefly urged the adoption of the message. He said the cheering news from Washington on Saturday last, bad inspired hope in his breast ot the election of the Hon. Mr. Smith, of North Carolina, as Speaker.

Mr. LONG, of Somerset, urged that it was not courteous to send a message dictating any specific course of action to the other branch. Reargued that tbe Senate would take such steps in the matter as they desired. It was entirely unusual. Mr.

DENNIS suggested that in case the message was sent it might be returned by the Senate with another, telling the House that they would attend to their business in a manner best suitable to them. Besides he stated that the Senatehadalready taken some action in the had been laid over in their sound judgment. Mr. FREANER said he had written the message and believed it was concurred in by Democratic member of the House. He thought the times were such that this subject was material to the interests of the country.

Mr. DENNIS, of Somerset, spoke against the message, upon the grounds of being unusual. No precedent bad been set for such a course of action, in relation to the co-ordinate branch of the Legislature. It was discourteous, and should not be authorized by the House. Mr.

FREANER acknowledged that the act was unauthorized by precedent, but the disgraceful proceedings which had marked the session of the House of Representatives, warranted speedy and unusual proceedings on our part. We should at once proceed to action in this matter. It is clearly shown that no Democrat can be elected to the Speakership. It therefore devolved upon every union-loving man in the a Democrat or not, to vote for any one other than a black Republican. He believed he expressed tbe sentiments of every Democrat in the House or in the State, where the election of a Union-man was advocated, on the ground of imminent peril to the South.

Mr. then urged the adoption of the message. He thought that if under perilous and exciting times, the House, through a feeling of false members of the House refused to pass a message in which the interest of the country was staked, he did not know what to say. The message was then slightly altered so as to meet with the wishes of the opposition. The message was 31, nays 23.

Bills Reported. Mr. CHAPLAIN, of the'judiciarv Committee, reported a bill to amend the Lottery laws and to provide a new sectiou. Laid over and ordered to be printed. Mr.

Rules suspended; read a second and third time and 45, nays none. The House was still in session. PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, January 30, 1860. SENATE. Mr. DAVIS, from the Committee on Military Affairs, to whom was referred the bill for the better organization of the United States army, reported it back and submitted a report on the subject, which was ordered to be printed. The CHAIR laid before the Senate a communication from the clerk of the Court of Claims, transmitting certain decisions of that tribunal; also a message frern the President of the United States, in answer to a resolution of the Senate callino- for the correspondence of Gen.

Scott and Gen. Harney in relation to the island of San Juan; also a communication from the second Auditor of the Treasury, transmitting copies of all accounts which have been received at that office, of persons charged with the application and disbursement of moneys, goods and effects of any kind for the benefit of the Indians, from July 1, 1858 to June 30, 1859, together with a list of the names of the persons to whom goods, moneys and effects have been delivered within said year, for the benefit of the Indians, and the balance still remaining in their hands. Mr. GRIMES called attention to a statementof Mr. Toombs, in his speech of last week, that nine States had passed laws to render the provisions of the fugitive slave law inoperative, including lowa.

Mr. G. denied that lowa had passed any such law. Mr. TOOMBS stated that he did not include lowa in the nine States to which he referred.

Mr. NICHOLSON made a speech controverting the doctrine of Mr. Seward, that there is an "irrepressible conflict" between free labor and slave labor. Mr. N.

read the resolutions adopted by the Legislature of Tennessee in reference to the outrage at Harper's Ferry. They were couched in strong and severe language, which was the more worthy of attention as coming froin a calm and conservative State. It is because they look upon the irrepressible conflict doctrine as" threatening the destruction of this Union, that they ize it as treasonable, and call upon conservative men of all parties to unite in crushing it out. They believe it to be fatal to the prosperitv of the country, and a deadly enemy to its liberty." Without touching the question of morality as connected with slavery, he would proceed to discuss the two systems of labor in their relation to politinal economy. The leading products of free labor were entirely different from the leading products of slave labor, and there could be no competition or antagonism between them.

The chief product of slave labor is cotton, and free labor produces to cotton. The chief product of free labor is manufactures, which are less extensively carried on at the South. Mr. N. read some statistics to show that the Southern people have abundant cause to be satisfied with the practical workings of their peculiar institution.

There was a conflict which did exist in all conflict between capital and labor. The error of the Republicans consisted in setting up their conscience as a higher law, above the Constitution. In religious matters, let conscience be supreme; in political matters, the true rule was to hold the Constitution as the supreme law. He proceeded to point out, in a clear and lucid manner, the sectional character of the Republican party, and the dangers threatening this country in consequence of the fanaticism prevalent at the North. Mr.

FITCH obtained the floor, and after executive session, Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The galleries of the House were more denselv crowded this morning than at any former period during the present session. By eleven o'clock not a seat was to be procured, crowds were wedged in the various doorways, while the lobbies were alike uncomfortable with persons of both sexes. The seats specially set apart for the diplomatic corps, with the exception of the front tier, were occupied by ladies.

Members and others wore gathered in groups on the floor, and the general scene was characterized by unusual excitement. Many strangers have arrived since Saturday to witness the proceedings consequent upon the election of Speaker, it being very generally supposed that this long-delayed event would be consummated to-dav. The House was called to order at noon, Rev. Mr- Kennard opening the proceedings with prayer. In the course of his prayer the reverend gentleman implored the Almighty to come to the deliverance of the country from the present excitement and danger, and to renew the bond of confidence which formerly existed as to our Confederacy.

The CLERK stated the pending question to be on the motion made by Mr. Winslow on Friday, to proceed to vote for Speaker viva voce. Mr. DAVIDSON asked to offer a resolution that the Doorkeeper be directed to exclude all persons not entitled to the privilege under the rules of the House from the floor, except the employees actually engaged in the Hall. Mr.

Clemens gallantly asked Mr. Davidson to except the ladies from the operation of the resolution. Mr. DAVIDSON said there were more outsiders on the floor than members. Mr.

SMITH, of Virginia, also desired the ladies now on the floor to remain. Mr. STANTON remarked that if they were permitted to remain here, others would claim a similar privilege. Mr. VALLANDIGUAM said if persons were here contrary to the rules, they were liable to expulsion by the Doorkeeper.

But it was too late to exclude the ladies, as they had been invited here. Mr. DAVIDSON repeated that there were all kinds of people on the floor. The time, be thought, had come when this should be stopped. Mr.

JOHN COCHRANE moved that the ladies be excepted from the operation of Mr. Davidson's resolution; that was a higher privilege than referred to the male sex. Mr. OLIN reminded the gentleman that we had no rules. Mr.

SMITH, of Virginia, replied that we have the parliamentary law. in the The CLERK said he had no power over the Door- Keeper. ladies, to the number of forty, here began to retire from the Mr. CURTIS said something amid the confusion, to which Mr. Garnett replied that there should be a strict and impartial execution of the rule.

Mr. KILLINGER said as the ladies had been turned out, the men, not here by privilege, should be put out. Mr. ASHMORE go with you. Mr.

HICKMAN, as a remedy for the pressure, suggested that all the members withdraw for five the floor be cleared, and then the Door- Keeper could distinguish, as they severally returned, who were members. would be the best Mr. BRIGGS said he saw no necessity for such a course. If all the members take their seats, it could be easily ascertained who were not privileged here. The House being called, the only absentees reported were Messrs.

Brown, of Kentucky, Clark 15. Cochrane, and Stallworth. Mr. VAN WYCK asked if some Democratic members from New York would afford a pair for Mr. C.

B. Cochrane. Mr. CRAIGE, of North Carolina, suggested that Mr. Cochrane be paired with Mr.

Stallworth. Mr. VAN WYCK objected to this, as, among other reasons, Mr. Stallworth had never been here. Tbe House finally again proceeded to vote for Speaker, with the following result: Whole number of votes 230 Necessary to a choice 118 Of which Mr.

Penington received 115 MrSmith 113 Scattering 6 The announcement caused much excitement, and extreme interest was everywhere manifested. The House again proceeded to vote. There was as much, if not more, interest manifested than on the first trial to-day. The result was announced as follows: Whole number of votes, (Mr. Pennington, and Mr.

Mr. HOUSTON understood that no such thing was intended by his Democratic friends. By yeas 108, nays 123 another vote was Before it wa3 announced, Mr. Riggs, underunderstanding that his vote would elect Mr. Pennington, cast it in that direction.

He did not wish by that to be classed with the Republicans. The result of the vote was announced. Whole number 233. Necessary to a choice 117, of which Mr. Pennington received 115, Mr.

Smith, 113. Scattering 5. The debate was continued for some time, as to the Democratic side furnishing a pair for Mr. Clark B. Cochrane; but no pair was effected.

Mr. STANTON proposed that no debate or explanations be allowed during the roll-call; but this was objected to. The House, amid much excitement proceeded to vote for Speaker. Mr. SHERMAN made a few spirited remarks, in which he expressed his gratitude to his friends for having voted for him throughout his prolonged contest till now, and in conclusion, said, if he had one favor to ask it was that they would come up in unbroken columns, with a firm front, and unwavering line, and cast their votes for the Republican candidate.

The House then voted with the following result: Whole number of votes 234 Necessary to achoice Of which Mr. Pennington received 115 Mr. Smith, of North Carolina 113 Mr. Davis, of Indiana 2 4 Before the result was announced Mr. BRIGGS made a personal explanation, saying he would now vote for Mr.

Mr. RIGGS withdrew his vote for Mr. Pennington. Mr. MORKIB, of Pennsylvania, indignantly repelled the charge of Mr.

The last earthly honors were yesterday paiil to the remains of the great roan who has just gone from among us.

Escorted by the noblest and highest in the land, the body of Macaulav was left to mingle its dust with those of the great of past days who slumber in peace beneath Westminster Abbey. To the long roll of poets, statesmen and historians there interred, another lofty name isadded, and that most sacred portion of our great cemetery derives another claim upon the veneration of posterity, as now containing also the remains of the first and last Lord Macaulay, the essayist, poet, historian, and statesman. The funeral cortege started in the morning from the late residence of the deceased, at Holly Lodge, Campden Hill, Kensington. This beautiful little villa adjoins the house occupied by the Duke of Argyll, between whom and the late peer there was a most close and intimate friendship. In the retirement of this half-country residence Lord Macaulay had lived lor some time, passing the greater part of his day in the library of the British Museum, and the greater part of each evening and night in arranging the immense mass of materials, which, from all sources, he had gathered for his The procession was fixed to leave Holly at eleven o'clock, but before that hour the route along which it was to pass was marked by a dense line of spectators.

All the houses of the nobility and gentry in the neighborhood of Holly Lodge were of course closed, while nearly all the houses along the route from and through Grosvenor Place toward the Abbev, were either half or entirely shut up. A few minutes before 11 the coffin was placed in the hearse, which was drawn by six horses and preceded by the usual pile of funeral plumes. It is customary in these state funerals to bear before the hearse, on a velvet cushion, an imitation, more or less exact, of the coronet to which the rank of the deceased entitled him. This unmeaning piece of pageantry, however, which, in spite of its havin been the butt of satirists almost for centuries, still holds its ground, was not attempted in the funeral of yesterday. Following the hearse were three mourning-coaches and four, the first carriage containing the chief mourners, the Rev.

John Macaulay, Mr. Charles Macaulay, Mr. Henry Macaulay, and Mr. George Otto Trevelyan. The second carriage contained Mr.

Edward Cropper, Mr. Macaulay, Q. Mr. Thomas Flower Ellis, and Mr. Henry Thurston Holland.

The third carriage was occupied by his Lordship's private domestics, who had all been with him many years. At Hyde Park-corner a considerable number of the carriages of the nobility, were stationed. As the funeral cortege turned down Grosvenor Place these joined the procession, and followed in its wake in a line of immense length. The funeral was expected to arrive at the Abbey at 1 o'clock, the public being admitted by ticket an hour previous. A small though distinguished attendance of literary men were among those who claimed admittance to the Abbey.

Beyond these the majority of the congregation was composed of clergymen, ladies, and even children. We need scarcely say that neither the ladies nor the children were in mourning, so that handsome bonnets and bright ribands rather marred the effect of an otherwise solemn and impressive ceremony. Before half-past 2 all those to whom tickets had been granted were in their places, leaving ample room in that part of the old cathedral for more than double the number who were admitted. Precisely at one o'clock the hearse arrived at the western entrance of the old Abbey, beneath the great door of which the corpse was honor only granted to peers of the realm. Inside the porch the procession arranged itself as follows: Bailiff of Westminster.

The Almsmen of the Abbey. Sixteen boys of the Choir. The Sub-Dean. Canons Kepton, Jennings and Cureton. The Dean (Rev.

T. Trench.) Close behind the coffin, in order, followed the mourners we have already mentioned. On the right of the choir, in the stalls at the eastern extremity, some female relations of the great historian were seated, in deep mourning. As the melancholy procession advanced up the nave, Dr. Croft's anthem, "I am the resurrection and the life," was sung with a solemn mesured cadence that had an inexpressibly touching effect, as the lament pealed forth through the Abbey, till its moaning echoes were almost lost in the Arrived at the choir, the body was deposited inside the screen; the mourners and pall-bearers remained outside in the stalls, while the 39th Psalm, "I said I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue," was slowly chanted to Purcell's beautiful music.

After the is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that sung Spohr's magnificent hvmn, "Blessed the dead that die in the Lord." 'During this most solemn cadence the mourners and pall-bearers again resumed around the funeral procession was again formed, and proceeded with slow steps to where the grave was dug in Poets'-corner. Arrived here, the pall, which had up till then completely hidden the coffin, so as only to allow a glimpse of the coronet and arms to be seen on the foot of it, was removed, and the coffin for a moment deposited by the side of the grave. Then, as the mourners grouped themselves around it, it was again lifted over the narrow aperture and slowly sunk into its last resting-place. As is customnry at all funerals, there was a moment's pause after the body had disappeared from view forever, and then arose Croft's touching anthem, "Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live," the notes and words of which echoed along the lofty aisles like the wail of Purcell's "Thou knowest, Lord" Laving also been slowly sung, then was said the praver commencing "Forasmuch as it has pleased Almighty God, of His great mercy, to take unto Himself the soul of our dear brother, here departed," amid solemn silence. It was only broken by the sharp, quick rattle of the gravel as it fell upon the coffin.

Then was sung Croft's anthem, "I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, write, 'From henceforth blessed are the dead which die in the Lord; even so saith the Spirit, for they rest from their At the termination of all was sung Handel's magnificent hymn, "His body is buried in peace, name liveth evermore," and this concluded the ceremony. Ail who had been assisting at the funeral then quitted the grave, and returned to the western entrance, the "Dead March in Saul" being played as the mourners slowly retired. who had been present, but not taking part in the ceremony, were then allowed to pass the barricade, and inspect the grave. As in most of our old cathe drals, there are no vaults beneath Westminster Abbey, so that the grave is dug down at once into the i ravel beneath the stones. The grave of Macaulay seemed about ten feet deep, and almost as broad as it is long, so much so that the coffin appeared to rest in a deep square chamber of gravel.

At one side, on the left, was what seemed to be part of the side of another coffin, which, if it was a coffin at all, must have been that which contains the remains of no less a genius than Sheridan. In the uncertain light, however, which penetrated to the bottom of Macaulav's last resting-place, it was hard to judge distinctly. In a few minutes after the ceremony was over, most of those who had assisted in it had quitted the Abbey. Shortly after, preparations were made for filling in the grave and replacing the pavement of Poets'-corner as it were before it was disturbed to make room for its latest tenant. In a few days more the slabs which mark the resting-place of other great men will be replaced; the monument of Addison leave, the freshly-gilt letters to show where lies the great last but not the least of those who slumber in Poets'-corner, "whose bodies are buried in peace, but whose names live for evermore." the London Times, Jan.

ACCIDENT ON AN AMERICAN gentleman who has lately traveled in America describes one of his journeys as follows On quitting the steamboat at Newcastle, we took the railroad for twenty-two miles to Frenchtown, which thus connects the Delaware with Chesapeake Bay. We had made about two-third 3 of our journey, when, at one of the "crossings," a violent jolt, accompanied by a loud crash, made all the passengers start, and considerably alarmed some of them. The continued rapidity of our movement, however, satisfied all that no accident had occurred lo the carriages; and in a quarter of an hour the train stopped close to the waterside at Frenchtown. As we stepped out I went to the conductor and engineer, who stood together on the platform of the locomotive, and inquired the cause of the sudden shock we had experienced. "Well, it as in going over a chaise and horse," replied one of them, very coolly.

"There was no one in the chaise asked 1, anxiously. "Oh, yes, there were two ladies." "Were tbey thrown "out "I guess they were, and pretty well smashed too." "Good God 1 and why didn't you stop the train? Can't jou send back to know what state they're in 1" "Well, Mister, I reel-on they're in the State of Delaware; but you'd jump into the steamer there, or you're lik your passage."

WASHINGTON NEWS. The Slur of yesterday evening says The crow, attending to-day's session of the House is far larger than on any previous occasion within our memory.

The report that Mr- Clay is interested in the claims against the Peruvian government evidently emanates from the Peruvian Legation, and sliould be received cum grano Kalis. The correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Washington on Saturday, on the subject of the Speaker, says: Had Mr. Smith not voted on Friday he would have been elected.

THE TREATY BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND Hox! The New York Herald, of yesterday, publishes the text of the recent convention Eigned between the plenipotentiaries of Great Hl iTain and Honduras, in the city ol Comayagua, on the 28th of November last. This convention takes the place of two others which were signed in London on the 27th ot August, 1856, and which the government of Honduras refused to ratify. The concessions of the convention of 1859 are much greater in favor ol Honduras than those of 1856. Great Britain has a treaty of amity, commerce and navigation with Honduras, with a supplementary article guaranteeing the proposed Honduras railway.

The present convention is designed to settle the questions of territorial rights which have long existed between the two countries, and in which the United States has taken a deep interest.

Of course it was all a joke upon the part of the boys, but it was attended with most unfortunate results.
