She was a contributor to Household Words and to All The Year Round, and met Mr. Dickens both in Europe and in this country. The Arctic PEDITION.—The conference committee on the bill making an appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars to aid in litting out an expedition of discovery to the Arctic Tegions, agreed yesterday to make the amount fifty thousand dollars. The bill allows the President to select the commanders of the expe- dition, and authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to detail two vessels for its use. THE ArrRorRiaTion BiLts.—There is some discussion as to whether the Senate will get through with all necessary legislation before the 15th instant, the time fixed for adjouftiment. It appears that the appropriation bills are weli advanced, and are & much better condition than is generally supposed, there being but tyur in the Senate not acted upon: all of wh ch e: be disposed of within two or three da such contest is made over them as is over the Kiver and Harbor bill to-day. DEFICIENCY Arrh: PRIATION Bitu.—In the House this morning Mr. Dawes, trom the Com. mittee on Appropriations, reported a bill making appropriations to pay deticiencies for the year ending June 30,1570. The bill appro- Ppriates about $1,700,000, of which $1,000,000 is for the ninth census, and about $17,000 for the Department of Justice recently created. ‘The other appropriations are for paying the codif y- ers of the laws of the United States, salaries of members of Territorial Legislatures, and vorious smaller items, Moxsigur PREVOST PA&ADOL, the newly ap- pointed Minister to Washington trom the French Court, who is exceedingly popular among the American residents of Pris, will bring with him to this city his daughter and his young son. The young lady is exceedingly en- gaging. The lad is to go to school ir the Un ted States. Mons. Paradol speaks and writes Eng- lish fuently. He is a widower, and a Paris cor- respondent prophesies “that he will espouse an Americaine, if only from the reason that the Ambassador is 60 charming a person, and that Yankee girls are so attractive.” TRE RECENT NOMINATIONS of Collector, Sub- Treasurer, Naval Officer, and United States Attorney for New York, hae not yet been re- ferred to the proper committees of the Senate, but will be at the first executive session. There is a good deal of speculation yet as to the result in the case of Mr. Murphy, nominated Coliec- tor. Both the friends and the enemies of this gentleman are equally sanguine. The fact that this is an administration appointment gives it strength, and will undoubtedly nave ..-nsider- able weight with Senators. ‘PRE INVESTIGATION OF TRE CrRREN;y Bu- REAU.—The committee appeinted by the Sec- retary of the Treasury to examine into the management and verify the accounts of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing have sub- mitted a report, showing that there are of U. S. legal tender notes, fractioaal currency, (tirst and second series,) registered bonds, gold notes and national currency charged to the bureau, $46,446,501; credited, $814,264,970; balance on hand veritied by count of committee, $132,181,- 621; stamps charged, 15,615,280; credited, #x,- 340,500; balance on hand veritied by count of committee, $7,274,780. Tux CariToL Prisoner, Pat. Woons.—The House, this afternoon at 2 o'clock, took up the case of Patrick Woods, charged with assaulting Congressman Porter, in Richmond, on the 39th of May last, and proceeded to discuss the re- port of the majority of the committee and th resolution sentencing him to be imprisoned for three months in the juil of this District, and the reportof the iaimority of the committee and their resolution directing that Woods be re- turned to the Hustings Court in Richmend, to be dealt with according to law. Judge Bing- ham had the floor, and advocated the of the resolution of the majority of: the com- mittee. ~ A PROTEST numerously signed by the mem. bers of the Washington bar, without distinction of party, was yesterday presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee against the confirmation ot Jno. M. Oliver, recently nomimated to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of this District. ‘The protest sets forth a want on the part of the nominee of the requisite legal qualitications for an efficient discharge of the duties devolving upon that branch of the court over which the new judge will preside, and while disclaiming any opposition to Mr. Oliver on any grounds affecting his personal character or integrity, they respectfully set forth that, so” far as the signers can ascertain, he has never studied law regularly, either under a practi- tioner or at a law school, and that he has not been admitted to practiee by amy court.

A great crowd of people were present, among whom were Gen. Prim and Baron Werther, Prussian Ambassa’ e latter left early in the evening, which fact gave rise to great comment, many asserting that France would have just cause of war if the can- didature of the Prince of Halenzollern were in- ed upon. Late yesterday afternoon, after interview with the Emperor, Ollivier saw the Duke of Grammont, Minister of Fore! Affairs, and the Ambassador of Spain. T result of these meetings was a firm and ener- getic note to Baron Werther. Immediately on its receipt the Baron started for Ems, to mect the King of Prussia.

The plaintitt estimates the various subsidies of the company at Over $150,000,000, and charges that only part of the same have been legitimately expended, and that the directors have wrongfully con- verted the remainder to tueir own use.

THE HOUSE WON'T VOTE BY MAcHI- NERY. Wepxespay, July 6. SENATE.—Mr. Sumner presented a momo- tial from colored citizens of Memphis, Tenn., asking Congress to incorporate them under the name of the American Lincoln Association. Keterred to Committee on the Library. Mr. Pratt called up bill for relief of United States and Brazil Steam Navigation Company; which was passed. Mr. Schurz, fr Committee on Territories, reported, with amendments, House bill to con- strue and annul certain acts of tue Territorial —— of New Mexico. Mr. Lewis asked to take up bill to authorize the corporate authorities ot Washington to en- dorse bonds of the Southern Maryland railroad; but objection was made by a number of tors. Mr. Anthony called up bill to incorporate the United States Freehold and Land Company, and to contirm certain proceedings in the Terri- torial Legislature of Colorado, which was dis- cussed until the expiration of the mornimg hour, and then went over. Mr. Abbott, trom Committee on Pacific Kail- road, reported, with amendments, the bill to incorporate the coutemplated Suuthera Trans- Continental Railway Company, under the name of the Western North Carolina Extension any. The bill authorizes the Western N arolina railroad, the Wilmixgton, Charlotte and Kutherford railroad, and the Spartansburg Union railroad to consolidate, for the purpose of constructing and completing continuous rail- Way communication via Ashville, North Caro- lina, and Ducktown, Tennessee, to Clevelan Tennesee, or Dalte vorgia, connecting the ports ot Newbern, Wii ton and Char} with San Diego, California, by way of the So: ern Pacitie The Vice President announced ax the Com- mittee of Conference on the funding bill Messrs. Sherman, Sumner and Dav’ On motion of Mr. Wilson, the report ot the Committee ot Conference on the army bill was assigned for to-morrow evening. he river and harbor appropriation bill was then taken up. Mr. Chandler said the Committee on Com- merce had decided to report this bill as it had passed the House, withont amendment. No doubt there are other appropriations which might properly be made, but, under the cir- cumstances, the committee asked the Senate tw stand by them and pass the bill without amendment. Mr. Sawyer called attention to the tact that while 000 was appropriated tor harbor and river improvement in the North, aud $2,000,000 in the West, scarcely anything was appropriated for the South. He moved au appropriation of car 50 to remove obstructions Town creek, Charleston, << Mr. Kobertson called for the ayes and noes he wanted to see whether it was proposed to propriate all the money for one section of the country and nene for other. ‘ ‘The amendment was agreed to—ayes 9. Mr. Sawyer then moved to provide for a sur- vey and examination of obstructions in the Charleston harbor with a view to the removal oft the same. Adopted. j Mr. Abbott moved an appropriation of $1,000 } tor improvement of Cape Fear wr. He said only 000 was priated for the whole line Of sea-coast stretching from Wilmington to the Mexican line, and not a —— dollar appropri- ated for i ports of Baltimore and New ‘ork. For Michigan alone $346,000 are appro- priated; for lowa, @400,000. The bill is untair and upjust. ‘The merchants of Wilmington are now much embarrassed by the shallow chanuel, and they should have ghis relief. Mr. Chandler said “It was well known that these obetructione-were put in these southern harbors during théwar. We have no report fromthe engineers on them, but it is provided tor new surveys to be made of all these harbors, and until the result of those surveys was known, the estimates could not be made, and it is beat to make no appropriations in advance. Ur course if the Senate choose to load down the bill with amendments and kill it, they can do it, but he asked them to stand by the committee. After further discussion, Mr. Chandler made the point of order that the amendment, making an appropriation and not being recommended by any committee, could not be received. ‘The Chair (Mr. Drake) overruled the point, for the reason that in his opinion the bill w: not a general appropriation bill, and hence di Lot come within the rule. _ Mr, Sherman said the Ohio Legislature had instructed him to move an appropriation for the Louisville canal, but he thought it best not to offer any amendments, and should vote against all, This $100,000 was a mere tritie for the work at Wilmi , the estimates which been made calling for $1,700,000. He advocated that a matters should go over until the next jon.
