He then turaed @ case of Lord Shaftesbury, where the parties Were members 0: the House, in which case no one could doubt that the House had power to pupist; yet, in even there cases, when tested upon hubeas cor these facts wore stated in the retara. But can avy ‘one say that the Senate is to say to the court, whet the House of Lorde dered not, that they refuse to comply with the mandate of the court, because to state the oruse why they committed s citizen of the United Stetes would be to violate an crder cstablishea by themseiver and becaurs they—the Senste—thought proper to keep iteecret?

They say he com: mitted a coutemp:; they refuse to teil us how he came io commit that contempt, and whet they were ad in, and what investiga ion they were ting ‘when he committed this contempt.- The case of And-rson § Dunn was again taken up, and the postical avd eloquent opinion of Mr. Justice JS hnson was examined in detail, aud commented upon with great fore Mr Baaptey said that he had given this case the ut- moat atte and examipation, had reviewed ail the oasen cited, aud with all the lights before him; and be stated, without (he least hesitation, that such a case as this, sinoe the days of the star chamber, hus never been known-—not @ case ou record, where a eitigen has been seized, arrested, examined, accused, tricd, condemded, aud punished by = seoret tribunal Never wasa man, since the star chamber parsed away, tried and punished seoretly, and the power of courte to interfere and see that th's tribanal has some authority for its acts, denied aod scorned And all t the act of the American Well does it beeome us, that the people should look to the matter, and that moral forse should be felt, against the encreachments of au arbitrary power, and laws should be passed restrainf¥g thie power. The several cases cited by Mr. Coxe, from the Ameri cnn State papers, were then taken up by Mr. Bradley, ‘nd commented upon. He examined the papers in each and every case. showed that the warrant of the Speaker, or of the Vicor President, contained the whole proceed: ings previous to the arrest, and duriag which the con. tempts wee committed Ho interpolated the reading of these papers with many forcible and pertinent re marke, which, without the whole of the documents were given, would not be sufficiently understood cases were thors of Du: Rounceval, Whitaey, Lan and others; and sho that upon the fi if whole proceedings. it appeared in each and e\ that the jurisdiction was set out clearly In t! Rounceval. he refused to answer the committe: ed by the House in secret session toexaminehim He refusing still further—-the House ordered him to be committed. This, however, was in public session, and it appeered that be was committed ia a matter where the House had undoubted authYrity to act. Batin the pre. eent case, the warrant shows no such thing. These cases Mr. B argued, insted of being authority against the diecharge of the pritoner, were authority in favor of tue point that the warrant of the Senate, committing the party, should contain, affirmatively, the evidence of the Juriediction of that body 10 so doing. Daring the read- ing of the journals of the Houre of Representatives upon the case of John Avderson, it appeared, that the Speeker, addressing Anderson, said to him, “If you de- sire counsel, you can have the same, or if you want time to prepare your defenos, it will be granted” These things said Mr. B , were denied in the i. case, and the party was refused both couasel and time to prepare a defence. Mr. Coxe —That does not appear on the return, and therefere is not before the Court Mr Brapiey—I know it isnot on the return, and | know it is not before the Court; and I take it upon my- self to say, thet if the injuaction of secrecy shall be re- moved from the proceedings of the Senate, that greater ‘acts of oppreasion avd iyrauny than even these will sp- pea: on the records. Mr. Bradley then examined the tecord,to show that even by implication there could not bo made appesr by the return of the Sergean'-at-Arme that the Senate bad uuder consideration any subject. ticularly atthe time this party committed this al- -d contempt, which omission he considered amount- to an iusufficiency in the return, apd therefore the Prisoner was entitled to @ discharge.” After some gene- tal remarks upon the enormous power that the Senate would have if this priviiege were conceded to them. be concluded, earnestly hoping that the Court would arrest such a davg-rous extent of irresponsible power over the liberty of the cit zen Mr. Coxe said thet a few remarks were necessary from him, He refer.ed to some few minor points upon whic! he conceived Mr. Bradley had misunderstood hiw He ‘hen referred to the act ef '93, where the Senate hud Power (o examine @ witness, “in any case.” Judge Mousxtu—There musi be a limit to it, cer ainiy Mir Coxe —Who is to tix it?

Tracatateam, March 22, 1849.—I deeply regret to write you abvut the lore of the prize steamer Petrita;” (but co it ins) it fa as follows: On the morning of the 14t) inst, we got under way from Vera Cruz and pro- ceeded to Sacrifision, avd towed tow U.S ship Albany from there to Avton Lizardo The next mornin suprise, we got under way for this place, the weatt fog pleasant and the wind moderate from 4.N.E Be fore reach ar of Alvarado, the breeze had in- creased #0 an to make 80 rongh a sea that we feit quite anxious for the safety of the found on reaching there, the sea was breaking neariy acrons the bar. We went over without difficulty, and as we then thought, without having sustained any damages. Knowing the very defective condition of ber hull and planking, from 4d , and the ravages of the worm, we were greatly |, om Alverado, to reported to us th=t the pump. We or- deted the cerpanter to examine it he could fied the ee era ory emcee one in the neat the bottom, about mid ships, whers one lees character broke out last summer. We then ordered » ite of all hands constant pumping, the water continued gradually to guin upon us. We then ordered steam to be got up for the double purpose of trying to clear her with the bilge injection and running her into shoal water. We found after two or three revolutions it would not work, owing to the strainer being nearly de- stroyed by rust. We then run her into a mud flat, op- posite to the cotton factory. By this time the water was nearly up to the furnaces, and it continued gradu- ally to gala upon us uatil she settled into the mud about 1 0’clook in the morning. It is most providential to reach a placeof safety before jud upon the bar be- been a floating mi- 4 snchor to leave a port witaout the full consciousness of the eminent risk we ran of our lives We are now dismantling the Petrita, and shall remain Lere until further orders from Comm Per- 1y¥— who bas not yet returned from Tabasco, where he went some two weeks #go.
