H. R. H. PRINCE ARTHUR. Notwithstanding the fatignes of the ball, night bdetore last, (at which the Prince remained till past 4 o’clock a. m., not 3 a. m. as heretofore stated,) H. R. H. breakfasted at 10 o’clock on Friday morning. He remained writing letters, e., till about 12 o’clock, when he went out for a walk, accompanied by Mr. Fitzroy, Lieuten- ant Pickard and Mr. Le Poer Trench. He lunched at 1 o’clock, and at 2:15 went up to the Artillery Barrac! accompanied by Colonel Elphinstone, Lieutenant Pickard, and Mr. Trench. He witnessed a field Battery going through various maneuvers. He then inspect «! the men’s quarters and the stables, and after thanking Colonel Dupont for hisextreme civility and kindness, returned to the Legation. At 4 p.m. he went out for a ride on horseback, ac- companied by Lieut. Pickard, Mr. Fitzroy, and Mr. Fane. In the evening there was a large dinner at the Legation. After dinner, Dr. Starkie, Rector of Epiphany; Mr. and. Mrs. Riggs and the Misses Riggs called, and had the honor of being presented to the Prince,’who, about 10 p. m., accompanied by Mr. Thorn- ton, Col. Elphinstone and Mr. Le Poer Trench, drove to the White House. The Prince was de- sirous of paying his respects to the President and Mrs. Grant betore leaving the Capital of tie United States. The President was at the theatre, but Mrs. Grant received H. R. H. and suite. After « little conversation the Prince took leave, ex- pressing his regret at not being able to see the President before his departure for New York. Mrs. Grant expressed a hope that he would pay Washington another visit, and inti- mated that a suitable time would be when th: Great Fair was being held. The Prince, Mr. Thornton, and suite then returned to the Lega- tion, but left immediately afterwards with Mr and Mrs. Thornton, Col. Elphinstone, Lieut. Pickard, Mr. Fitzroy, Miss Gascoyne, and Mr. Le Poer Trench, to attend Mrs. Fish’s reception. In the course of the evening he walked over to Speaker Blaine’s with Mr. Thornton, Col. E} phinstone, Lieut. Pickard, and Mr. Le Poer Trench. After remaining there about half an hour, he returned to Secretary Fish’s, when a little quiet dancing was got up, which lasted til: midnight. : Yesterday the Prince delivered to Mrs. Thorn- ton a beautiful bracelet, a present from th Queen. It is of massive gold, with a horsesho: formed of turquoise,with a large diamond in th: centre, and smaller ones on each side. Mr. ‘Thornton received a beautiful miniature por- trait of the Prince—also a present from th: Queen—set ina splendid frame, at the bottom of which is written: “ The Right Honorable Ed- ward Thornton, C. B. From Victoria, 1870." ‘The whole contained in a rich morocco case. The Prince left for New York this morning a: 8e’clock. He is accompanied by Mr. Thornton Col. Elphinstone, Lieut. Pickard, Mr. Fitzroy, and Mr. Fane. Mr. Le Poer Trench leaves for New York on Mond: y, when he will join the Prince's party. All the members of the British Legation were at the Depot to take leave of H. R. Mr. Trench, of the British Legation in this ity, has becn indefatigable in seconding Minis- ter and Mrs. Thornton in their etforts to make the Prince's visit to Washington a pleasant one; and he especially deserves the thanks of the Journalists here for his courteous attention to their wants. SENATE Convinmations.—The Senate mac quite a number of confirmations in executiy ‘eesion yesterday afternoon, among them being those of Wm. Cumback, of Indiana, Ministe Resident to Portugal; i.

SATURDAY, January 29, 1870. SENATE—The Senate is not in session to~ day. HOUSE—The House assembled as in Com- mittee of the Whole, for debate only. Mr. Churebill, of New York, presided, and there were about twenty-five or thirty members pre- sent. Mr. Williams (Ind.) addressed the Committee in Se fee ra i road monop right of eminent domain claimed by over railroad lines within their borders, and ar- ed in favor of the right of C ‘and the seneral Government to establish railroad lin: as great commercial highways between th States. And in order to foster such enterprises he would aid them by Congressional subsidies. Referring to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, he said it was a monopoly without soul, body, ot heart. It stands at the tof the West to pre- vent an approach to the capital, and it says to every man who approaches, “Your thirty cents, or you can’t pass over my road.” It was unlike every other monopoly in the land, for it ha. successtully defied the Congress of the United States, and it refused to pay taxes upon the money it had stolen from the whole people ot the country. The road had not the least claim upon the kindness or consideration of Congres: tor any particular, for it had always proven it- self i ical to the Government of Uniteu States. When the late war broke out this road and those who managed it were not found upon the side of loyalty in the country, but on the contrary it was doing all to embarrass the Gov. ernment. He then —— aletter written Mr. Garrett in the beginning of the war i: which he agreed to co-operate with the author ties of Baltimore to prevent the passag: troops over the soil of Maryland. In view of the road had done it deserved nothing at th hands of Congress. He would appeal to th people of the United States to strenghten th ands of Congress, and send only such repre sentatives here as would break down thes« monoplics in the interest of trade and industry. Mr. Wilkinson (Minn.) addressed the Hous: upon the same subject. All the industries 0 the West, he said, demanded that Congress should do something to break down these rai!- road monopolies. business of the West wa- suffering, and was almost prostrated. Especially was this the case with the agricultural interests. This interest was not googenn because of the tariff, as some claw , but because of the out- rageous and exorbitant demands of the railroa:! monopolists of the country. It was the monop- olized carrying trade of the country that wa- ruining {the Northwest, for the farmers wer robbed Of millions and millions of dollars by th exorbitant charges, which they must either pay or allow their grain to rot in their granarics He contended that the remedy was with Co gress, and that it had full control over th: charters of these companies, and could regulat them. to a question by Mr. Eldridge, Mr. nt In answer Wilkinson said that in his judgment, “4 had bong serge ted take charge of railroads in th+ States it formed great commercial links. This power he said he believed was vested un claved that Congress shosid regulate contacts: clar re commerc: between the States. Mr. Bird (N. J.) inquired whether the itle- man believed that Congress could take for in stance the railroad runuing through New Jer- sey and control its freight and other charges an’ regulate them? r. Wilkinson had not the least doubt thar ngress had a right to do this thing, but that i was its duty to do it asa rebuke to New Jerse: for fostering this monopoly. Mr. Wilkinson d Congress would take speedy action upoi this subject, and he gave notice that he waci himself introduce a bill declaring the policy 0: Congress upon the subject.
