NEW YORK HERALD. ‘New York, Monday, February 5, 1844. The Hour and the Men—1he New Revola- tion in Morals, Politics and Religion—its Apostics—its Aims—Its Progress—its Ten- dencies. On the first page of this day’s paper our readers will fiad an authentic and somewhat extended re- presentation of a movemenc, which far exceeds in magnitude, boldness, and success—any thing ever yet exhibited, since the first attempt was made to reform the world. The immensity of this move- ment—its comprehensiveness—its apparent success, altogether surpass any thing either in Germany, France, or England. We all know very well that all the magnificent projects of Robert Dale Owen, supported as they were by great and acknowledged talent and great pecuniary means, caine to nothing. The labors—the persevering labors of ChatlesFou- rier himself, even on a soil apparently genial, in an eminent degree, have been unproductive ; and in Germany the Communitists have, as we have seen from the recent accounts from.Europe, altogether failed in effecting a permanent footing. But the present movement in this country appears to be a very different thing, About fifteen years ago, a very remarkable at- tempt was made to effect a somewhat similar social revolution in this country. It was supported by a great deal of talent, and a very considerable expenditure ef money ; but it never approached to any thing like the strength and vigor—the marked success ot the present movement. Lvery one re- members the time when Fanny Wright came to this city, accompanied by a large number of re- formers of the same creed. Many, also, will re- collect her extraordinary lectures given in the Vark Theatre, at Washington Hall, and we be- lieve also at Tammany Hall. The attempts then made to form “communities” in various parts of the country, were seconded by the outlay of a great deal of money, and the eloquence of Fanny herself. And Fanny’s rhetorical powers must be well recollected in Tammany Hall; for she was the first to denounce the banks, andiparsons, and lawyers, and brokers in the most unsparing man- ner. Crowds followed the philosophic reformer in petticoats. Her notions were talked about, and laughed at, and half believed. Newspapers, advo- eating her doctrines, started up, and fired away furiously against the old social economy. Wild, unshaved, crazy men, in the country villages, com- menced lecturing in Fanny’s wake ; but, after a few years’ struggling, the whole movement came Potrricar, Movements—Cass Meerixc.—By our advertising columns, it will be seen that the friends of General Cass are called together in public meet- ing, to morrow night, at Concert Hall, Elizabeth street, near Grand, by the Hon. John McKeon. We particularly suppose that all the gallant Irish Repeaiers will attend. Preparations are likewise making by the friends of Calhoun, and other democratic candidates, to hold meetings for the purpose of electing delegates from the Congressional districts, for the Fourth of July Democratic Convention in Philadelphia. The crisis of Mr. Van Buren’s fate will be decided about these days. We Van Buren patriots, and “Old Hunkers,”” are watching, praying, and trem- bling, as if we had the ague. Get us some qui- nine, Doctor. Anorner TueoLocica, Controversy.—The New York Evangelist (Presbyterian,) and the Christian Register (Unitarian,) are discussing the doctrine of the atonement. The Evangelist denies that Christ suffered and died for the mere purpose of setting anexample, and uses the following extra- ordinary language in reference to the subject, ina problem addressed to the Unitarians :— “Besides, what is the example which the sufferings and death of Christ afford? It is the example of an innocent man subject to the most cruel treatment—perfect obedience rewarded as the taost flagitious crime—the greatest holiness doomed to the severest misuse—an ex- ample, which ifunexplained by any other circumstance, the most frightful and disgustin this were Christ’s object, he en the world ever saw. If has most miserably failed ‘ev manifested any extraordinary exemplary deport- If we disallow the existence of some afflictive ex- ence beyond what is visible—some terrible suffering fom an unseen source—his anguish and cries, his bloody sweat in the garden. and his pitiful cry on the cross, seem to be entirely nnmai ‘The desertion of his friends, and the cruelty of his enemies, he might have borne with far greater composure. Many of his followers, in all ages, fave endured much sorer evil than he experienced, with fur more apparent magnanimity and self-posse: So far from setting an example of patience in the hour of suffering and trial, he might be com: to the example of some of his own followers.” Such language, wetsuppose, is consequent upon what Dr. Potts and Presbyterians of that ilk, call the “freedom of discussion.” The Unitarian paper calls it blasphemy —“‘let the public judge.” Reticious Movements —The Right Rev. Bishop Hughes commencesa series of lectures on the fami- liar tenets of the Catholic faith next Thursday even- ing. They willbe delivered in St. Patrick’s Cathe- dral,and arrangements of the most liberal and appro- priate kind have been made for the accommodation of all who attend as auditors. In his own proper sphere of theological warfare, Bishop Hughes is quite a Goliath. His style is very agreeable and at- tractive—often eloquent and always sensible and intelligible—he is one of the best lecturers amongst to nothing, and every thing connected with it was forgotten. Fanny Wrizht abandoned her own notions—found a clever Frenchman, who promised to make a fond, affectionate husband; and for him she recanted all her ideas about freedom from marriage ties; and she is now a very happy and contented wife and mother, living, we beheve, at Cincinnati, and sometimes visiting Paris, attend- ing all the while to the education of an only daughter, who is represented to be what her mother was—a very intellectual girl. That movement was certainly one of the strangest things we had seen in this country. It fastened it- self also on the Jackson party with some degree of force. And we believe it was about that time that Robert Dale Owen, now the distinguished member of Congress from Indiana, first made his appear- ance in this city, and spent some money for the purpose of aiding the new social reform. But he married a very pretty young woman in New York, and went out west to take possession of some pro- perty he had there, and is now one of the ablest members from the west at present in Washington. But, as we have already remarked, all this move- ment came to nothing. It was not till after years, that any thing like success dawned upon the efforts of the new school of reformers. ‘The rainbow of promise did not hang out its glittering promise in the clouds until Alberi Brisbane and Horace Greeley—itwo very remarka- ble young men—devoted enthusiasts—somewhat eccentric—rather careless of their dress—took hold of those notions of Fourier, connected them inge- niously with the political movements of the day, or the fortunes rather of the strong political party at- tached to Mr. Clay, and have finally met with a tide of success almost astounding, even to them- selves ; and which apparently threatens the uproot- ing of the whole social editice—politics—morals— religion—property—marriage—every thing ! Jt is very true that Albert Brisbane and Horace Greeley do not go openly so far as some other dis- ciples. But so is it always with new revelations. The zeal of young converts is proverbial, and they uniformly go to extremes which the more cautious and prudent apostles endeavor to avoid. The zea! of St. Peter prompted him to draw the sword from the scabbard and cut off the ear of the Roman sentinel, but his Master rebuked him for his imprn- dence and violence. These two apostles of the new movement, however—one of them from the verdant mountains of Vermont, and the other from the blooming vallies of the Genesee river—have united their forces together, and in conjunction with the influence of political organization, they are producing a complete social revolution through- out the country; and by means of the support ané aid of the party attached to Mr. Clay, will give an impulse to those principles—revealed in all their breadth and profundity on our first page—which will astonish every body in less than ten years. Brisbane travelled for some time in Europe—got acquainted with Fourier—eagerly embraced his doctrines—and burning with zeal to diffuse them, returned to this country, just in time to connect himself with a similar enthusiast from Vermont, in the person of Horace Greeley, the philosopher,who had been wandering amid the mists of transcen- dentalism and Carlysleism, and was just prepared to seize on the splendid visionary creed of Fourier. Since then, the two youthful enthusiasts have been at it night and day, with their coats off, and their necks freed from cravat and shirt-collar. They are daily becoming more and more enamor- ed of the “divine philosophy,” to whom they have plighted eternal fidelity, and with unsurpassed dili- gence and energy they are laboring to reform the world—to change the destiny of man—to restore the lost nobility of our nature—to make every bo- dy rich and happy—to elect Mr. Clay—and at once to introduce the millennium with all its transeendant and perennial glory. Some of the disciples, as we have hinted, are going rather ahead of the apostles. And to coun teract this in some measure, Horace and Albert have commenced a series of lectures in this city for the purpose of putting a martingale on the zeal of their disciples. But they will find this a some- what difficult task. Our readers will see from the extracts we give, the ultra character of some of the opinions put forth, in which all christian.ty—all marriages—all independent property—and every thing that has been holding society together for the last eighteen hundred years, are to be destroyed together. Now, in sober seriousness, let us ask what is the tendency ofall these movements? It is to unsettle everything—to unsettle weak and uneducated minds with respect to religion, morals, laws, rights of property civil institutions, and all social ties. It is really full time that the enlightened friends of social order and decency should turn their atten tion to this movement. Not the destruction of the Union alone is now menaced, but the destruction of every thing that we have been accustomed to hold sacred—of every thing that resirains human nature from the grossest outbreaks and the most ridiculous absurdities—ot every thing that elevates and advances the social condition. It is, indeed, quite time to inquire whether Brisbane and Greeley are right or wrong. Sime popular movement, by , a public meeting, or otherwise, should at once be taken in relation to this matter. a Tae Itatian Orena, I Puritani, which created go much applause on Saturday, will be again given this evening. us. These lectures will doubtless attract immense audiences. The Acquittal of Amelia) Norman for an Attempt on the Person of Henry 8. Bal- Having lately seen a number of articles in the public papers Commenting upon the trial and ac- uittal of the above female, and also sugmesting that laws should be made, We. &e., I was induc to investigate the matter for my own information, and now enclose to you the result of my arch. In the first place, 1 have ascertained that the criminal records of England contain within the last fifty years no less than 17 cases of precisely a similar nature, in which the accused were “‘ac- je In Scotland, 5, in the same period. In teland, 1; and in France and Germany, 24—the majonty Germany—all with the like results. Now, these trials and acquittals excited no animadver- sion there, for the simple reason that they were in accordance with the spirit of the law. But because excitements are got up here, and judges will rule out testimony, the public mind is roused to phrenzy, for it can be called nothing elsc, and we are told “that the woman ought to be found guilty,” “that we are all encouraging crime,” and ft of that description. ‘Amelia Norman” was justly acquitted, and I now subjoin out of the many cases, above alluded to, one in point. Jt was the case of Miss Ann Broadric for the murder of Mr. Erring- ton, in 1795, tried before the Chief Baron, &c. &c. _ “Miss Ann Broadric was a young lady of con- siderable abilities, a fine figure,gand much admired forher accomplishments and personal attractions. Three or four years after Mr. E’s divorce from his former, wife for her adultery, he addressed Miss Broadric, and lived with her nearly three years, with every appearance of comfort. Mr. E.,however, w another beautiful object, possessed of a large fortune, to whom he transferred his affections, and after a little time, gave her bishand, On his mar- riage he settled what he deemed asuitable provision on Miss Broadric; stated to her explicitly the varia- tion of his sentiments, and added that he could never see her more. | i After the first agonies of her grief, Miss Broadric repeatedly requested a meeting, The. desired in- terview was refnsed, but she still persisted by let- ters to move, him to grant her this last request, but finding him inexorable, she wrote to him, ‘ that it nothing could induce him to do her this act of common justice, he must prepare himself for the fatal alternative, as she was determined that he should not long survive hisinfidelity!” After a laps* of a month, receiving no answer whatever, she dressed herself elegantly, early on Friday morning, May 15th, went to the Three Nunsin Whitechapel, and took aplace inthe South end coach, which passed very near Mr. E’s house at Gray’s. She got out at the avenue gate, and in her way was recognized by Mr. £., who told his wife that that tormenting woman, Broadric, was coming, but that he should soon get rid of her if she, Mrs. E., would retire a few minutes, Mrs. E., however, did not consent to this, but prevailed upon her husband to go up stairs into the drawing- room, and leave the interview to her management. Miss B. being shown into the house, asked for Mr. ; but was told by Mrs. E. that he was not at home. ‘Lam not to be so satisfied, Madam,” re- lied Miss B., “I know the ways of this house, un- fortunately,too well, and therefore, with yourleave, Pll search for him !* _ On this she rushed ito the drawing-room, and, finding him there, she drew a pistol, with a new hagged flint, from her pocket, and presenting it at his left side, directed to his heart, exclaimed, “I am come Errington, A Reuiciovs Revivau.— Whilst Doctors Potts and Wainwright have been busy in discussing the important question of the possibility of the existence of a church without a Bishop, one of their brethren, who rejoices in the singularly euphonious name of the Rey. Jacob Broadhead, has been settling to his own satisfaction the very interesting question that there can be no comfortable wife without a good jointure. We perceive that this lucky Jacob has just been united to Mrs. Fanny Spencer, the daugh- ter of the late Peter Sharpe, Esq., and relict of H. Spencer, Exq., deceased. The lady inherits a for- tune of $60,000 and another of $50,000 by her de- parted husband. Mr. Broadhead, like his patriar- chal namesake, has a fine sheep-fuld some where up the east river,and has quietly settled downthere, leaving, we suppose, hisfold of humansoulsin Brook- lya to the care of some less fortunate dispenser of the bread of life. Licur Houses axp Licht Humpvas.—We have received the official documents relative to the light houses on our coast. It appears that many of the lights are recommended to be put out, and others to be lighted. Our light houses are very much like our post roads and mail arraagements ; there is not oil enough in the lamps on our coast, nor grease enough on the axle-trees of our mail coaches. Hence our vessels go ashore, and the mails don’t arrive. Tue Boarp or AuvERMEN meet this afternoon at5 o'clock. If Alderman Tillou’s famous Police Report is printed, it will be called up—if not—not.

Yrom Bostox.—At eleven o’clock last night, Adams & Co. furnished us with Boston papers tu Saturday morning. The steamship Britannia was to leave Boston on Saturday at two o’clock P.M. Thisis a detention of three days. It was found no easy matter to cut a passage through ten miles of ice. This ice block- ade has, perhaps, proved a very fortunate one to the southern merchants, for it gives the mails from the extreme south, ample time to reach Boston be- fore she goes. On Friday she had fifty-four passen- gers engaged, and more were expected from New York. It was said that there were forty passengers “booked” in Halifax for her. Three mails from New York, Philadelphia, Bal timore and Washington,and five from NewOrleans, containing about five thousand letters for Europe, were received in Boston on Saturday morning, in time for the steamer.

Curious Proceedings—A Rownd-About Way of Doing Business. We have nothing every particular to communi- cate from this extremity of the Union or the United States; still, it is well for the public to know that laws are framed elsewhere than in Washington; and you would be astonished to learn that the Ad- ministration here has imposed a fine of $1000, or bonds to that amount, against any individuals com- ing from Havana without a passport. We have a cabinet, also, in this small corner of the world A revenue schooner, carrying the Mar- shal, Mr. Jo Brown, went to Nassau, afew days ago, to claim the delivery of certain runaway ne- groes, ch :rged with a crime or crimes.

Surprised at his not falling, she said, ‘‘ Good God, fear I have not de- spatched yout but come, deliver me into the hands of justice!” Mrs. E. burst into the room, and see- ing her husband bleeding, fainted away. Mr. E. now remonstrated with her, and asked ‘her if he had ever deserved this at her hands, after the care he had taken to settle her so comfortably in the world? She ae no other answer than a melan- choly shake of the head, Mr. Button, a magistrate, came, who took the examination of Mr. E. after his wound was dressed. He asked Miss Brodric what could induce her to commit such an act of extreme violence 1— Her answer was, that she was determined that neither Mr. E. nor herself should long outlive her lost peace of mind. Mr. E. entreated of the magis- trate not to detain her in custody, but to let her depart, as he was sure he would do well; but his re- quest Miss B “refused to accept,” or the magis- trate togrant. Mr. E. died next day, and the Cor- oner’s inquest sat on the body on areca, the 19th of May, and brought in their verdict, “*Wilful mur- der by the hands of Ann Brodric.” On Friday, July 17th, Ann Brodric was conveyed to the Shire-hall. She was conducted into the bail dock in the criminal court, attended by three char table ladies and her apothecary. She was dressed in mourning, without powder; and after her first pertarbations were over, occasioned by the con- course of surrounding spectators, she sat down on a chair prepared for her, and-wae ‘tulerably com- posed, except at intervals, when she evinced yio- lent agitation. Whenthe indictment was hecie! she paid marked attention to it; and on the words, “that on the right breast of the said G. Errington, she did wilfully and feloniously inflict one mortal wound,” &c., she exclaimed, “Oh, my great God,” and burst into a torrent of tears. The prosecution for the crown was opened by Mr. Garrow, who demonstrated the painful execu- tion of his office by the humane and affecting exor- dium with which he addressed the jury, preparatory tothe statement of the evidence he was instructed toadduce ; and he proved the offence, de. &c. on behalf of the Crown. The ‘Lord Chief Baron,” before he summed up the evidence, called the attention of the jury to the particular plea of insanity produced by the seduc- tion of the prisoner by deceased, on which the de- fence of the prisoner had been rested, as no denial had been set up against the perpetration of the deed, of which, indeed, there had been given the fullest ‘nd clearest evidence, and of the seduction also The law certainly required that the will should accompany the act to constitute a felonious mur- der. The defence, in the present case, was that the prisoner was incapable of lending her will to the perpetration of the crime with which she stood charged. Onthe whole, if the jury thought the Ja- tent seeds of derangement, after a convulsive struggle, vad been called forth on this horrible oc- casion, so asto overwhelm the senses of the unhap- py prisoner, they were bound in conscience to ac- quit her. if, om the other hand, they believed that it was the preparatory pangs of a mind intent on ratifying its revenge by the death of its object, Sey must find her guilty; but they scarcely need be told, that, should « doubt remain on their minds, common charity required that the balance should turn in the prisoner’s favor. x The jury consulted about twe minutes, and then gave their verdict, ‘Not Guilty.” To rae Eprror or rar N. Y. Henao Dear Sir :— y P _No person can question the extraordinary feli- citousness of the quotation wherewith one of the counsel for the defence concluded his appeal to the jury, in the recent case of Amelia Norman ; and it is with great diffidence that 1 suggest that its ap- Ss pl might, perhaps, have been a little im- proved a trifling alteration in the last verse.

The only way her guilt to cover, (Since our criminal laws wo'nt nab him;) ‘To give repentance to her lover, And reach his bosom—is -to stab him, Perhaps this alteration, too, may have some effect in stimulating our legislators to action upon the numerous petitions in regard to licentiousness, which now cover their tables. Yours, B. Newsparer Quackery.—Mr, Elitor—Permit me through the columns of your widely extended paper to expose some of the humbug and trickery, prac- tised by the self styled commercial sheets of this gs metropolis. My attention was directed on riday morning to alist purporting to be a Shipping Directory, and correct list ot vessels in port, pub- lished by the Express, ** made up, corrected, &c., with great care, labor, and expense.” Having a little leisure, I marked off the follow- ing corrections, which, by referring to their paper, you will see embrace about one half :-— In the first place the Directory does not contain more than one half the vessels now in pert. Tecan call to mind at the moment the following vessels— Ships Sully, Southport, Pacitic, and Newark; barks Catharina, Alexander, Potomac, and Maria Louisa; brigs Florida Blanca, Rodney, Archelaus, Oneco, Timoleon, Exact, Washington, British brig Tho- tnas, and Swed. brig David, all of which are in port —most of them in sight from my office windows, and none of them in the Directory. The following appear in the Directory, however—“ the list that is made up with great care,” which have cleared and sailed, and | have no doubt some have arrived at their port of destination ere this, viz. ships John Fehrman, for Havana; John Miaturn, for New Orleans: barque Pilot, for Boston; brigs Cybele, for Africas i jet- Wright, tor Havana; Johann hardt, for Bahia; J. W. Huntington, tor Vera Cruz; for Charleston, and Excel, for Savannah; and, to conclude, the following are in “the correct list.” which have no existence what- ever—sbips Dion, Eliza & Susan, Exile, Mary & Elizabeth, Saratoga; barque Harnet Von Broom; brigs J. Howe, Newark, Oriental, Oliver, Roselle and Southport. There are some schooners, Vc which bear some of these names, but_not ships, &e. as “the list” has them classed.

Tne wonderful success which thir coe has met with ibrenghens Europe, induced Mr. Palmo to choose it for his opening campaign, and considering that it has never been played in this country betore, we do not think he could have made a better selection, thong European critics have proaounced it as not the finest composition of that lamented master, savoring too much, as it un- doubtedly does, of the French school, there being too much noise and a redundancy of the wind in- straments; butin spite of this objection, it possesser so many beauties as easily to pardon this one fault. The house was crowded to overflowing, nor de we ever recollect seeing so fashionable a society within the walls of a New York theatre. Almost every nation in the civilized world was there represented. We saw Italian, Spanish, French, English, German, Dutch, Russian, Pole, ‘Turk, Mexican, alike sympathiaing with the divine crea tions of Italian genius; a proof incontestible that the Italian is the only opera which speaks to the universal heart of mankind; for while French opera and English opera Eee but the people of their respective nations, the Ital all: Itis ts eldcetsfual is Russia as i: is in Italy {tte tebe heard from Petersburg to Madrid. It is the most refined recreation of the higher classes in every country in Europe, und why should it not be so in the highe: classes of New York? Is there not among our educated society sufticient infinement of taste to encourage and support an Italian opera, the most elegant recreation of lern times? Is it not better for our fashionubles to give their strenuous support to an undertaking of this kind than to spend their time and money at those larces of musi- calentertuinments called concerts? It will be,indeed,a dis- grace toour city, if, after this excellent commencement, we do not have an Italian cpa every winter, We had heard much of the operatic powers of Md’lle. Borghese, and before she made her appearance, we trembled lest she should not come up to the reputation which has preceeded her, for we knew, that the success of the Italian opera depended upon her. Need we gay that she was in every respect worthy of that reputatio: The gem of the evening was “ qui la voce sua soave” in the second act, and sate by Pounee: The duo between the uncle and rejected lover of Elvira, (Valtellina and Majocchi) “il rival salvar tu dei,” began exceedingly well but was much marred towards the conclusion by the over. acting and singing of Valtellina and the feebleness of voice of Majocchi. M’me. M., we are aware, did more than well considering that she was playing the pert designed for Tamburioi. But we require for the part of Riccardo + manly voice, full and powerful, and as to Valtellina, he can well bear being told of a small fault, possessing as he does all the requisites of a great singer. He sometimes overdoes his part—the “Suoni la tromba” was altogether exaggerated, both in the singing and in the acting; he mnst learn to subdue his “love of liberty,” and as to the tri-colored flag, it is quite out of place—it is, not only an anachronism, but it is a piece of clap-trap uncongenial to such an audience. It might do very well for the Bowery Theatre, but it will not be tolerated by an audience of educated men. ‘The opening of this duo was superbly sung by Valtelli- na, and save this fault, sang with great effect throughout zzi will improve on acquaintance; though the voice nd fresh, yet it is often uneven and frequently sper | allowances must be made,for a perfect ifficult of voices to find—it is the cause ‘enor is the most readers are a pany, the one named, and Antognini.

We must say one wordupon the orchestra. It will be- come very proficient—but at present it together too boisterous. The gentlemen who command the wind in- struments must bear in mind that they are subordiate to the singer; they must rather, as it were, follow the voice than attempt to lead it, and at the same time modulate their sound to the power ofthe singer. It is one of the ad- vantages, (says A. Dumas) which the orchestra of Saint Charles, at Naples, has over that at the Opera Frangais, that the one consents but to accompany the voice—the other, desirous of receiving its meed of applause,becomes boisterous and drowns the voice of the singer. ‘On the whole, the opera was decidedly successful ; it was a palpable hit, and all that Mr. Palmo has now to do, is to continue in the course he has so successfully begun He must expect to meet with much opposition from the “small critics,” who are always more disposed to discover faults than to acknowledge or point out the beauties of a performance, but he must go on, regardless of such criti- ciams ; the approbation of an educated and an enlighten- ed audience is what he has to cultivate ; let him do that, and he may laugh ut his enemies. For ourselves, we are disposed to give him every sup- port in our power, in this praiseworthy undertaking , as we are satisfied it will tepd very much to give a more cor. rect taste and to inc! ire for good music.

The young man who first accosted her, con- fessed the intercourse with her, but said she had invited it by her conduct while in the sleigh, and had assented to it willingly. The other young man charged with this offence, denied that he had committed any violence, but that her conduct while in the sleigh, in singing obscene songs, &c., led him to believe she was a prostitute, and he therefore concluded that the way was free for all.

Charges of Falsehood st the Boston Atlas— The 2ist Rule—Bill to :...-ve the Sufferers by the loss of the Grampus. As soon as the journal was read this morning, Mr. Bexser, of Alabama, rose and said that he called the attention of the House to a privileged question. An article had just been shown to him which was published in the ‘Boston Atlas,” pur- vorting to give an account of the affray between Mr. Weller and Mr. Shriver, behind the Speaker’s chair. The article said that he, Mr Belser, and Mr. Payne, had behaved like bullies, and had kept every body away from interfering when Weller had Shriver down. Now, sir, continued Mr. Belser, after he had read the article in question to the House, I pronounce this a false, malicious, and un- founded calumny, and the author of it an infamous slanderer. I havenever borne the character of a bully any where, and I will not bear it hear now. { do not intend to letsuch a eas oe this go to my constituents uncontradicted. ¢ only agency { had in the matter was to endeavor to separate the parties. I knew nothing of the matter before it occurred, and was in no way a party toit, and the whole is a vile and infamous calumny, the coinage of the brain of the miserable slanderer who concocted it. It is false as far as Iam con- cerned from beginning to end. Sir, I call your at- tention to this article; [understand that the writer of it has left this place. Sir, it is well for him that he has left this place, for if he hed not, I would have made an example of him that he would long have remembered. Mr. Payne said, that as far as he was concerned, the only notice that he should ever take of any such calumniator would be to kick him out of his way, the same as he would any other nuisance that an- noyed him. I knew nothing of the difficulty be- tween Mr. Weller and Mr. Shriver, and I was fifteen feet from them, sitting in my chair, when ihe first blow was struck. ‘To be ‘sure, I heard harsh language, which I expected would lead to blows. It was soinsulting that Mr. Weller struck Mr. Shriver, who used it to him. And after the first blow was struck, I said that nobody should in- terfere until the fight was over; and I'd say so igain wherever a friend of mine was engaged in a fight; and iffor doing that 1 am entitled to the cha- racter of a bully—why, I can’t help it. But I think that Mr. Shriver’s friends ought to be greatly in- tebted to me for the part 1 took inthe matter. It was me who pain eller off from him, | don’t know what would have become of Shriver if Chadn’t done so. As to this statement which has just now been read by Mr. Belser, my colleague,~ the whole of it is an infamous, malicious, unprin- see calumny, manufactu by some infamous wretch, I haveno doubt.

Mr. Avams demanded the ayes and noes on this,which were ordered, Mr. Daomaootr said, as a matter of courtesy, a post- ponement shad sinaye been | eae before. “He saw - great reason for hurrying this matter through the jouse. Mr, Apams said there were thirty members he could name, ‘who were willing to address the House on it to- day. Nir, Cnarman said they would be 20 blanks to one prize, and that was whyjhe wanted not to hear them before Mr. F d th by} ted hear them befc ‘ammett. Mr. CurxGMan bri the courtesy would be extended to the member from Mississippi ; and that the subject would ne made the special order of the day for Monday, and be lebated all day. Mr, Wi..xins said he was anxious that the debate should goon, atthis time. Although ae! persons had already spokenon the subject of the 2ist Rule, yet there were nany more who were also desirous of onit, For his own part he hadto draw the line between himself and nis southern friends on this matter. He had, in short, a ‘oad on his mind, and the sooner he got rid of it the better he should like it. (Laughter.) It would be painful to him to separate from his friends of the South on any sub- ject, but on this one he was compelled to do so. The Sreaxer then said that as Monday was petition lay, there would be no morning hour ; it was, therefore, ultimately resulved to postpone the further consideration of the ns on the Rules until Tuesday. Ayes 132.— Noes statement from the The Sreaxer laid before the Hous printers of the “Biennial Register,” stating that the delay in ssuing the work was occasioned by the neglect in some of the branches of the Post Office Department to send in their returns before the 30th of December last, whereas »y law it is required that the work shall be isqued on the sist of December. ‘The House then went into Committee oF THe Wuork on Private Burs.
