ENING STAR. HINGTON CITY: TUESDAY.........- .-se+-November 20, WA SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer conceives that it is not to be a difficult task to organize the House, as cither two of the three great divisions of the members have but to agree and then com- bine, to effect that object. There’s the rub, however On what terms is the agreement to be made? For whose elevation to the Speak- ership, and for whose to the Presidency is tho proposed combination to enure? These are practical questions bearing on the prospect of a speedy organization of the House, that must be solved before any such combination and agreement as the Intelligencer thinks may easily be made, can be brought about. The Union cnnounces the re-election of the Hon. Benj. Fitzpatrick to the U. 8. Senate from Alabemea, by the following vote, in joint ballot—for Fitzpatrick, (Democrat,) 79; for Luke Pryor, (Kuow Nothing,) 45. The editor rejcices over this event; which is a propersub- ject of congratulation, fer such men as ex- Gov. Fitzpatrick can illy be spared from the Nations! Councils just now. He possesses great experience in public life, a very elear head, high character, firmness of purpose, and is governed by high-toned principles in all he does. Wecare not to what party such a man may belong, we should regard hia defeat asa grievovs injury to the public service. The Crton says : “Lt is not true, as stated in some of the oppo- sitien papers, that Col. Forney has removed to Pennsylrrnia, or that he has ceased his ion with the Union as assistant editor. e is absent from W ashington at present, but will return in a few days.’ Thir contradiction was hardly necessary, in- somuch ss the story originated with the Herald, which makes it a point never to refer to Mr. For- ney without connecting some patent falsehood or other with his name. The Union farther makes tho Know Nothing majority in Mary- land, in the late election there, but 2,638, and adds that the Senate of that State stands anti- Know Nethings 14, Know Nothings 8—the House, Know Nothings 54, anti-Know Noth- ings 20. The Unson is, further, greatly pleased with the resolutions of the recent New Ham Democratic State Convention, and eays any quantity of complimentary things cf individual prominent men in “the party’ there. ———_-—e<— WASHINGTON NEWS AND GCSSIP.

Sir:—In reply to your letter of the luth inst., on the subject of the indictments pend- ing against persons charged with recruitin for the military service of great Britain, have the honor to make the following observa- tions. Mr. McKeon has been slvised of the desi- rableness of conferring with you personally, either by himself or his assistant, in regard to new evidence, to which he may have access, and which can be useful to you. I ape ey the expediency of trying only a pert of the cases now, especially it you fail to convict in some leading case. But the most important consideration this: This government has, of course, addressed to that of Great Brit: such demands of pub- lic redress and satisfaction in the premises, as the national honor requires. But the Govern- ment of Great Bri » With extraordinary in- attention to the grave aspect ofits acts, name- ly, the flagrent ion of onr sovereign rights involved i them, has supposed it asuf- ficient justification of what it has done, to re- ply, that it gave instructions to its agents so to proceed, as not to infringe our municipal laws; and it quotes the remarks cf Judge Kane ia is support of the idea that it has succeeded in this purpose Itm an upright and int pronounce the law vor.

Cusning. Jas. C. Vax Drxg, Exq., U.S At’y, Phila. The Mexican Drafis—The member of the The Speakership.—The three opposition in-his experience in the hall, lies his strength. Mr. Meacham though always siding with the North in voting on slavery questions, haz been a consistent advocate for the due exeeu- tion of all laws of the United States, and for some four years past has been one of the most popular men in Congress, deservedly enjoying, personally, the confidence of all men of all parties. Mr. Pennington though Silver Grey- ish, is popular with the Republicans as well as with the Southern Whigs. Either of them however, to be elected, will probably have to make any number of promi- ses with reference to the casts of the leading committees, which can hardly be done with- out involving the pledger in inextrieablo dif- ficulties likely to lead, amid the explanations that will be forced out, to his defeat, it strikes us. As for Mr. Havens, we understand that the batteries of Mr. George Law’s lobby forco —always a host—have been turned against him with great vigor, as he is well known to be a right-hand man of Mr. Fillmore, a lead- ing rival of Law’s for the Know Nothing Presidential nomination. The Ship Cleopatra, of Boston.—Commo- dore Salter, U. S. N., has sent to the Depart- ment an account of the loss of the vessel named above, in the latter part of September last, about eight hundred miles east of Rio do Janoiro. Her master, Capt. Thayer, reached Rio on the 2d of October, accompanied by part of the crew, in two open boats, and re- ported that he had abandoned his ship (on a voyage home from Callao, with guano,) which had sprung hopelessly aleak from running afoul of a set of floating spars in the night time. ; The first and third mate and nineteen oth- ers had left the ship in a third boat, and had not been heard of at Rio on the 4th ult. The English Rear Admiral (.n that station) Jobn- stone, at Commodore Salter’s request, had sent cut a small war steamer in search of the missing boat. Those certainly saved were the captain, second mate, and twenty-four or twen- ty-five othors. The Behrivg’s Strait Surveying Expedi- tion.—Tho F. more Cooper, of this United States expedition, has reached San Francisco. The Navy Department have advices from her commander, Licut. Gibson, dated at San Fran- cisco, the 11th ult. The Vincennes was daily expocted there. The Cooper left Petropau- lowski on the 16th of July, and subsequently made an extensive and highly successful and satisfactory survey of the Aleutian Islands. Lieut. Gibson reports positive information con- cerning the loss of the American whaling ship Monongahela, and all on board, in 1853; and that a‘l the efforts of the squadron to find really valuablo deposites of coal inthe Arc- tic and other Russian quarters they had vis- ited had been unsuccessful. An ‘Approaching Caucus.—There ia to be a meeting at New York on the 25th instant, we take it for granted in the famous political parlor of the Astor House, of as many of the *Republican’’ members of the House as may bein that city at the time specified. They have been notified, each and all of them, to be there if possible. Woe presume that they will take that occasion to compare notes and determine on their course of conduct in es- saying to organize Congress on reaching Wash- ington.

Gronerrown, Nov. 20, 1855. Alarge number of our firemen and other citizens went to Alexandria on Sunday last to attend the funeral of those of the victims of the sad accident at the fire there on Friday night, who were buried on that day. Yester- day morning the bell of the Vigilant Company was tolied for come time, asa token of respect totheir memory, and many of the members repaired to the above named city again, to participate in the solemn ceremonies of con- signing to the grave those who were buried yesterday. The sad calamity above mention- ed csusod almost as much sensation among our people as though the accident had hap- pened in our midst. The work of preparation for the coal depot, on the property of Capt. Brown and R. P. Dodge, Esq., is moving on quite briskly. The erection ef the trussel-work will be commenced this week, and more than likely by the open- ing of spring trade upon the canal, every ar- rangement necessary for the reception of the black diamonds at this depot will have been inade. Trade upou our esnai continues steadily to improve. During the week onding this morn- ing, seventy boats have arrived, thirty-four of them from Cumberland with coal, the bal- ance fron different points with flour, grain, wood, &c. The receipt of tolls at the Geo town office last week amounted to over $2,600.

Small sales, since our last ro- port at these figures. The supply ccntinues very light fur the season. Wheat, since our last, has come in more freely. About 10,000 bushels of canal soll yesterday at $2a$2.08 for red and white. We think it more than likely that present prizes will bring in a pretty full supply, and that our mills will not, fo some time to come, be compelled to stop ope- rations for want of grain. Spectator.

The officer says that he had never been hand-cuffed from the time he started ; that at ths various stopping pace he was allowed the privilege of tho ar-room, &c.. and did not seem disposed to attempt an escape, and he had no apprehen- sions of such an attempt. It was singular that the officer would have trusted him fora moment; he should have been hand-cuffed and watched closely throughout. Thecircum- stance does not speak so well for the sagacity of officer Rose. The Cincinnati Commercial Keed is the same individual who was sent to jailafew weeks since by Judge Praden, for the term of sixty days, having been de- tected while endeavoring to pick the pocket of entleman at the National Theatre. He had only been incarcerated a few hours when he succeeded in esvaping, in company with a comrade, by scaling the jail walls.” Criticisu.—A friend, writing us from Bos- ton, where Rachel, at the Bostou theatre, and Eliza Logan, at Kimball’s Museum, have been playing a side by side engagement, re- lates an amusing ancedote, which we are as- sured is as true as itisdroli. It seems that the American actress had played the part of Adrienne a few evenings before it was put up by the French tragedienne, at the other thea- tre. On this occasion, at the point where the heroine, haviug inhaled the fatal poison from the treacherous boquet, exults in the discov- ery of her lover's innocence and faith -the most touching part of the play—one of the audience who had seen Miss an in the tragedy, exclaimed ‘‘ See, here, Miss Rachel!
