SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Union, speaking of “the New York Times and Post and Cuba,’ says that some adequate measures ought to be adopted atonce te allay the fears and pacify the anxieties of thase two journals; that they have become ex- cessively alarmed and agitated, &c. The Union assures its alarmed cotemporarics that their agitation is wholly groundless. It says should the thirty millions become a law not even then should they give upin despair. The wrath of Spain running into arms would bea serious calamity; but it will never run so bi A little threatening as a prelude to friendly negotiations may be anticipated—nothing more. ‘The same paper, speaking of “ the retarned Africans and the arts of civilization,”’ charac- terizes fhe debate which occurred in the House on Wedaesday on the subject of making pro- vision for the support of the captured Africans recently sent to Liberia as both unfortunate and unprofitable, invoking, as it does, Banquo’s ghost of slavery on the decision of a question 80 foreign to the subject. ‘Phe Intelligencer is devoted to Congressional Proceedings and news to-day. ————— ore —_—____ THE WEEKLY STAR.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. —__ Tax DirLomatic anp ConsuLar Appropri- ation Bitu.—The temporary defeat of this measure in the House hall yesterday, was the reeult of a combination of circumstances Thus, the mass of the Republicans voted against it, because they think their party's prospects in the next Presidential election will be furthered by generating an absolute neces- sity for an extra session of Congress, to be made necessary by defeating as many general appropriation bills as possible. Some of the intense abolitionists among them so abominate the Colonization Sucicty, as to Tejoice at the opportunity to vote against appropriating money to go into its bands for any purpose whatever, and were thus doubly inclined to Vote the Lill down. The Southern Democrats who voted against the bill, did so, in the main, because its clause appropriating to pay that organization for its services io the Guvernment in receiving and taking care of the o's car- go of wild Africans, contemplated pryiment lor educating and eupporling them fur one year after their return to the coast. Though we agree with those gentiewen that it would be about as well to take money from the Federal treasury to provide the means of paying for the purchase of “a flannel ves’kit and 2 moral pocket handkercker”’ for cach new-born Afri- can babe, and that the only fitting education for them is in the use of the hoe, we do not Pereeive in the terms of the agreement be- tween the Society and the Government, a sub- stantial reason for stopping all appropriations for the Consular and Diplomatic service, be- cause those who dislike those terms were not able to strike them: out of the bill. We take it for granted that sober second thought will in- duce those gentleman at least to aequicsce eventually in the enactment of the bill; as nothing would mortify us more than to find them strengthening the stratagems of the Ke- publican party, in their devotion to crotchets. Pracranism Most Unsiusuixe !—We must have a copy-right law, Positively wo must! American authors have long been plundered by British book-men and compilers, and just tow we have before us in the very blackest and whitest of black and white, perbaps, the most flagrant example yet of this wholesale stealing of American brain labor. The pa- triotic dander of every Washingtonian will, we are sure, be up, when he learns that the euf- ferer in this instance isa star of our own galaxy, our talented, gifted, original, sprightly, &c., 4&c., fellow townswoman, Miss Mary J. Windle, who, as the readers of our city cotempuraries are aware, has just published the book of the season and perhaps of the ceatury, entitled “Life in Washington, and life bere and there.” What wi// our readers say of the audacity of the tarnal Britishers when informed that Mrs. Gore, a novelist of some note, and who clearly Ought to be ashamed of herself, has actually anticipated Miss Windle’s choicest gems of thought, end that in her novel styled “Pin Money,” publixbed some balf dosen or more years ago, wo find whole Passages - Joined, or rather forestalied from Sy: Washington.” By some hoeus pocus mental Process—some Pechycological “aerimento presto change? which we are not prepared to explain, Mrs. Gore has absolutely been able to spirit from Miss Windle’s mental laboratory all these graceful creations, and to reap the benefit of their use fur some half dozen years prior to the time when Miss W. has fuund it convenient to record them upon paper. What Miss Windle describes as happening ata White House re- ception, Mrs. Gore locates at a “St. James Drawing Room.”’ We find Mrs. Gore's Cabi- net Ministers and M. P.’s using, page in and page out, precisely the language of our Hon. Secretaries and M.C.'s. The belles of Wash- ington discuss costumes for the coming Fancy Ball of Mrs. Gwin, in the Mentical words of the London belles in regard to the coming éal masyue of Lord Calder; and it will be a consolation perhaps to American husbands and lovers, to know that the English women fb Spon mantua-making details quite as persis- teutly and uncenscionably as ourown. Miss Windle sits for her picture for a friend at the White Sulphur, and the heroine of “ srg Money,” ditto, ditto, in Landen, = bang cal annoyances, &c., de. But 4 Miss Windle justice, and Mrs. Gore 9 ~ tice, wo place some passages from each in ju position.

Now if this is not literary filibustering with @ vengeance we should like to ask in the name of Captain Kidd and General Wi tiam Walker what is? But we warn Mrs. Gore off the vir- gin soil of (embryo) American thought. On a previous cecasion it was our privilege to expose an impudent attempt on the part of Blackwood’s Magazine to anticipate by some months, in the story of ‘ Lady Lee's Widow- hood,”’ whole pages of White Sulpbur,and other letters, from Miss Windle’s graceful, original, &c., pep; and we are ready to do battle again and again, if needs be, for American genius when assailed by the Gore-y tomahawk of the plundering Britisher. Undoubtedly, too, our neighbors of the Union, and other city cotem- pora who have spoken in such deservedly complimentary torms of ‘ Life in Washington, and of the talent, grace, originality, sprightli- ness, &c., &c., of the fair authoress, will take up their cudgels in her behalf. So hands off, Mrs. Gore! Facts asp Rumors.—It is stated that a number of gentlemen now in this city, from the North, are doing all in their power to pre- vent the favorable action of Congress on the proposition to acquire Cuba, because it will ruin their business—1. ¢. effectually break up the clandestine slave trade, in which they are supposed to be largely interested. It is said that Judgo Irwin has sent in bis resignation to the President, and in all probs- bility the Judiciary Committee will decide tc- morrow whether they will permit the charges which have been made against him for im- peachment to be withdrawn. It is thought the committee cannot do so without first ob- taining the consent of the House of Represen- tatives. Lord Napier has informed the Secretary of State that he expects his successor, Lord Lyonpy to arrive about the end of February or the be- ginning of March. it appears from the official report that there are 133 salaried Consuls, whose salaries amount, for the year 1857, to $251,511, and tho fees re- turned by them to nearly $111,000, leaving a deficiency of $140,000, to be paid from the treasury. There are nxbout 270 consular offi- cers paid by fees only. We hear that Republican party Senators and members of the House have subscribed between five and six hundred dollars for the purchase of an elegant service of plate, to be presented to the Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, of Obio, on the oceasion of his approaching retirement from Congress, after more than twenty years’ ser- viee in the body. He has managed to give tone for years past to the sentiments and poli cy of the Republican party, and may be re- garded as fairly sharing with Senator Seward the prestige of its leadership. Frou Soxyora.—The State Department, per Joseph S. Whiting, is in receipt of despatches from Captain Stone, acting consul at Guaymas, and from Commander Davis, of the sloop-of- war St. Mary's, bearing date 23d December. These represent the condition of Sonora as de- plorable in the extreme. Peschiera, the Gov- ernor, has failed in his attempt to raise troops. The people at Hecrmosilla rose and liberated two citizens imprisoned by Governor Peschiera's order, and paraded the streets, eurrying them along in triumph, shouting “ wéein/es Amert- canes,’ “death to Peschiera.”’ The whole country is anxiously awaiting the purchase or occupation of Sonora by the American Goveru- ment. Governor Peschiera was absent in Sina- loa, and about to attack Mazatlan. The oppo- sition needed only a leader to overthrow hima without a struggle. Tue two Brack Cars are setting the press of the country well nigh as stark mad as the discussions in executive session are currently understood to have set them. Thus our cotem- poraries in every direction can publish con- cerning little else just now. Appropos: The very strongest reason for accusing them of hav- ing circulated the reportsconcerning the secret proceedings of Friday last, « friend at our el- bow hints, is because they notoriously “ carry tails.’’ Deartu or a Navy Urricer.—The Navy De- partment has received information of the death of Lieut.

On motion of Mr. Simmons, the entire bill, except the enacting clause, was stricken out and the bill otfered by Mr. Bell inserted as a substitute, by a vote of yeas 38, nays 20. After considerable discussion a vote to re- commit the bill was had, and stood—yess 23, nays 30 A motion, by Mr. Gwin, to recommit to the eer was nogatived by a vote of—yeas 17, nays The bill, as amended, was then read a third time and passed, by the following vote : ‘gas—Messrs.

It will be seen, however, that several of the friends of the project voted for it, as it is, ap- parently, the nearest approach to a commence- ment of the work that can be attained at pres- ent.| Iv tHe Hous, the Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation bill being put on its passage, was rejected by a vote of SS yeas, 99 nays. Mr. Branch moved to reconsider the vote, with a view of allowing its enemies to strike out what they conceived to be its objectionable foatures, and agree upon passing it in some shape. Mr Letcher hoped that those who desired to make a new bill, would give the Committee of Ways and Means instructions to guide them in their future action; otherwise it was utterly impossible for the committee to arrive at any conclusion in regard to the wishes of the body. If gentiemen wished to sirike out certain mis- Siobs, or certain salaries, let thesn introduce a resolution and distinetly state what shape they degired the bill to assume when it comes back from the Cammittee of Ways and Means again Mr. Nichols inquired, what party had control in the House, and was responsible tor carryi out the recommendations of the Prosident ? rd was not those on his side, and they were un- willing to incur the responsibility gt Hebei tor avy appropriation not indispensable. Mr. Loteber understood there was an Admin- istration majority, but, so far a8 Lecompton or this bill wax concerned, he had ascertained there was not; and so thore must be some sort of an opposition majority. The session was drawing to a close, and they had to pass these uppropristion bills or Congress would be reas- Sembled at an carly day. Mr. Giddings wished to know, before bo would vote for the bill, whether it was intended to reporta bill appropriating $30,000,000 for the purchase of Cuba. If so, he wished tostop the Administration where it is. The Speaker decided this to be irrelevant, and said this was not a proper time to bring up the Cuba question for discussion. Mr. Hughes said if the Chair had listened to his objection this matter would not have come before the House. The Speaker replied that he did not hear the gentleman from Indiana. Mr. H. answered, with considerable warmth, “can’t help that.” The Speaker hoped the gentleman did not intend to be rude to the Chair. Mr. H. replied, “ No, but if I did, it would be but paying eff an old debt.’ The Speaker reminded Mr. H. that if he bad any cause of quarrel with the Chair the floor of the House was not the place to settle it. Mr. H. again retorted, “i know that, and would say the sawe to the Chair.”’ Mr. Stanton said there were several amond- ments to the bill that his side of the House believed totally unnecessary, and there would be no vote for the bill if there was a provision in it that they did not approve. They held that if bills exceptionable to them were to be passed they must be passed by the friends of the Administration. Mr. Phelps said that the motions of these genilemon had been cut off by the action of the sommittes. He saw no course but to reconsider the vote. In the course of farther debate— Mr Barksdale expressed the oplnion that, if the Committee of Ways and Means should Te- port another bill leaving out Persia, and the clause for carrying intoedeet the contract made by the President with the Colonization Society, it would pass. Mr. llowayd voted with the Committee of Ways and Means on Teporting this bill, and wished to see it passed; and yet he had voted against it, because he wanted his frionds to have a vote upon their motion to strike out. He would vote against every one of them him- self, and then would vote tor the bill. Mr. Crawford was ready to take his full share of responsibility for rejecting the bill; and no arrangement could be made by which the bill could be passed unless the wishez of those act- ing with him in reference to the contract made with the Colonization Society were met. ‘They voted against the bill for the purpose of record- ing their opposition to a construction of the act of 1819, s0 a8 provide for the education of re- turned Africans. After some parliamentary maneuvering, the vote was raconsidered, the amendments voted upon, and the bill, with Persia stricken out, was put upon its passage and rejected—yeas 92 nays ¥4. Adjourned. P. 8.—After our reporter left the Mery, Mr. Hughes explained his remarks hove givensaid made an appropriate amende. Proceedings ef To-Day. In rue Sgnare, to-day, Mr. Gwin gave notice that he would eall up the Pacific rait- road bill, to-morrow morning, fur the purpose of moving its reconsideration. Mr. Masen introduced a bill authorizing the construction of @ branch of the Alexandria, Loudoun, and Hampshire Railroad to George- town. _Mr. Brown prosented sundry petitions from citizens of Washington in relation to a passen- Er railroad on Pennsylvania avenue. which ¢ said had already been anticipated by a bill pending on the subject. Mr. Chandler presented the petition of King- sley S. Bingham, elected United States Senator from Michigan, for six years from the fourth of March next, to succeed Mr. Stuart.
