INTEGLIGENCE BY THE MAILS. Galviensis and inc Senate—No. 3. Cusropy or THK SERGEANT-AT-ARMS } Wasurneron, April 14, 1848. On Thursday, March 23, the President’s mea- ze, referred to in my last letter, was consider- ed in secret cezsion, and the Senate having re- solved to institute an investigation, a committee, consisting of Messrs. Bradbury, Badger, and Wescott, was appointed with power to send for persons and papers. On Friday morning, the 2ith, 1 received a note from a member of the committee, requesting my attendance at the Ju- diciary Committee room of the Senate. Upon repairing thither I found two members of the committee—the third having declined to serve. 1 was apprised of the purpose for which the com- mittee was created, and was given to understand thet the Senate merely desired to know whether tne papers had been obtained from one f its own members. 1 had before in private conver- sation with Senators fully exonerated the mem- bers and officr rs of that body from all agency in furnishing the doeuments, and I at once signi- fied my willingness to comply with the wish of tae committee by deposing to the truth of my former ststemenis. The following isa copy of my ¢Xamination: 1. Qcrstion.—Are you a correspondent of the New York Herald ? - Avewer.—I am. 2 Q—Do you know from whom the paper was obtain- ed. purporting to be a copy of the tr-aty with Mexico, and the amendments in the Senate, published a few days since in the N-w Fork Herald? [1 was givea to und-r- stand that th’s question war jntensed to spply to tue do- cument as it appeared in the Herald.] jo. 1 3 Q —Wasit from a Senator. officer of the Srnate, or Person connected with the printing of the Senate? A —It was not. 4 Q —Who tarnished it? A.—I decline to answer. To the brat of my belief it ‘was allowed to be publiabed from patriotic motives end to promote the public interests 1 regarded avd atill re gard the pul I do not censider myneli bound to declare the source »hance | obtained said pa per. [To the auswer I, next dey, with the conrent of the committee, appended the following explanation: — “From the disourtive pature of my examiaation on yes- peste 1 was led to give the fourth interrozatory a leas specific answer than, on further consideration, | desire to make, I wish to confine to the amendments of, and doounents accompanying the treaty, the bearing and ap- plication of the following words ocourring i> said an- awer— To the best of my beli-f it was allowed to bepub lished from patrintis motives, end to promote the public infers ts?” 5 Q.—Were the President's mossage and documents publirned and promis-d to ba published in the Herald bitc- the first publication, obtained in the same wey? A~Lwdopt ny third answer above given ay my an ewer to this question, so far as 1 know or brileve. Fur ther I deoline answering, because I cannot specify th: papers Mr Bennett intends to publich. 6 Q —Were any of the papers in question obtained in eny wise, from any person who obtained them from any Senator, or officer of the Senate, or any person oo7- nected with the printing, or direotly or indirectly with the knowledge, or consent, or connivance of such per son? A —Sard papers were furnished by no Senator, offlosr, cr printer of the Senate, nor hy any third person con nected with any member or officer of the Senate, as clerk or member of bis family. (Signed ) JNO NUGENT. oy the request of a member of the committee t answer was so framed as to allay the y of such S-nators as have sons and ther relatives acting as their private secretaries, d consequently having more cr less access to iy private papers ) ‘This examina'ion was reported the same day, (Friday,) 1a secret session, and after some de- bate, the report was recommitted on motion of Mr Westcot:, and the committee enlarged by the addition of Messrs. Underwood, Hannegan and On Siturday morning, | was accosted te ehamber by two members of the comnftttee, and was requested to accompany them to the Judiciary Committee room, for th purpose of adding to my testimony of the day previous. The interrogatories propounded at this examination, I have not before me; but 1 will give their purport as nearly as possible. 1, Q—In your ani ‘ory of your former examination. you say, “said papers wero furnieh- ed by no Senator, officer, or printer of the Senate, or by any third perean connected with any member oroffixe: of the Senate as clerk or member of his family. Why did you not inciude the printersof the Senste in the lattes: portion o; this denial? was it because you could not. &. A.—I have no hesitation in extending to the printers of the Senate, the negative embraced in my answer t the 6:b question of my former examination—to wit, tha said papers wer pot furnished by the printers of th- Senate, (Mesers. Ritcnie & Hetss.) or by any thied perron connected with them, as clerk or member of th femily—in the same eengo in which said former answer ‘was concetved, a an you absolve the h and other officers 0° suewer that would even by Impl right of the committee to put the beas 3 of the State department on trial in this investigation, or in anythiag growiug, or that por sibiy might grow, ont of it, I beg to be uaderstood, i: mating this reply, as not intendiag to elasion or surmise of my iniaability to q ‘sally to exonerate the head aad other officers would bs an admission by me of the right of the com- mittee to put s question, the answer to which might, by Pporsibility (so far a8 the committes are informed), in- cutpate the head or other ofivera of the St’ te department Tight which, with ell dus reepect to the committee, I am dieposed to question ” In this refusal I was sustained by the com- mittee—all learned in the liw—as I had also been in my refusai to answer the fourih interro gatory of my former examination. The opinion prevailed with the committee that they had no right to go farther ; and had the Senate come to the same prudent conclusion, what a torrent o! ridicule it would have escaped ! Gaxvignsis.

Mr. Clay's Letter—Its reception by Whigs, Tay- lor Men and Democrats—Emigrants— Marine Intelligence—The Steamer Isabel, §c. : Mr. Clay’s letter continues to be the topic of discussion among all parties. The Clay whige, who comprise nine-tenths of the whig voters, especially the mechanics, have received it with great pleasure; but the leaders, that is to say the “ Court House clique,” who have recently attempted to carry the party over, body and breeches, to Taylorism, go beyond the bounds of decency in venting their rage. After being re- pudiated by the great body of the party, to find themselves thus growled at by the ‘“ embodi- ment of whig principles,” seems to be more than human naure can bear; and they avow their intention to vote for the nominee of the democrats in preference to their former idol. «We have tried him, over and over,” say they. “ and he nas never yet been able to give a sin gie one of usa lucrative or honorable appoint- ment.” ‘ Let us burn him in effigy—let us 1m- molate him in plaster of paris on the floor of the Court House,” exclaim these consistent politi. ians. The whig public, however, stand firm in the ranks, and scout their leaders as deser- ters and scramblers-for the loaves and fishes, he democrats are also much pleased with Mr. Clay’s letter, as they think he will be much easier to beat than any other man that could be nominated. However, the next Presidency is located in the hollow ot the hands of the Van Bu ren democracy of New York, and they can cast it to whom they please. J The number of foreign passengers arrived at the port of Baltimore, for the quarter ending the 3ist of March, was 505—of which 391 were from Bremen, 107 trom Liverpool, 4 from West Indies, and 8 from Valparaiso. is The following number of vessels was in our port yesterday, exclusive of bay craft :—3 ships, 18 barks, 27 brigs, and 31 schooner:—total, 79. The oceun steamer Isabel is progresaing finely, a large portion of her machinery being now 1» her. She will make-a trial trip to New York about the close of next month, where she will be docked and coppered ; and a more splendid model, even the builders of your city will readi- tv admit, never floated in that port, Although 220 feet oa deck, she is a regulur Baltimore clip- per, and will make as good headway with her sails alone as most of our packet ships. Pamapeveuta, April 15, 1848. Another Attempt at Murder—Tri- Colored Fiag— Camden and Amboy Railroad—The New York and Washington Telegraph Co , §c. A respectable and youthful widow, lady by the name of Osborne, had nearly fallen a victim to the homicide mania, last evening, about 7 o’clock While passing down Spruce street below Third, on her return home from a visit she had been pay- ing, and when within a door of the house she oc enupies with a sister, some unknown villain came up behind her, and placiog one hand over her eyes, attempted to cut her throat with a sharp pointed instrament. Though at the first moment of alarm she thought it a playful assault of some of the young ladies of her acquaintance, she threw up her hand and received upon it the full force of the blow intended for her throat. The weapon inflicted a severe wound, three inches ir length, upon her hand and wrist, and at the same time made a slight incision upon the left side o! her neck, which was so near the jugular vei» that but for the warding off ot the blow it is is evident must have proved fatal. The creams she uttered on fiading herself wounded brought assistance in a tew moments; but the villain had in the meantime escaped. ‘fhe inci- dent has caused the most intense excitement. and speculations as to the motive of such a horrid attempt, are iri the lady was uncon scious of having had an enemy in the world. The blow of the weapon cut through four folds of hershawl. | id A splendid silk American flag has been mad: by the Messrs. Horstman’e, for the French re. sidents of our city, to be presented to the French Benevolent Society, as a companion to the tri- coiored flag already in the possession of that ex cellent association. ‘Tnere is to be a demonstra- tion of sympathy with French republicanism o1 Tursday afternoon, preparations for which have tor some time been on foot. Mayor Swift is t to be the meeting. i The Camden & Amboy Railroad Company are about to commence running an additioual line between New York and Philadelphia, to start ‘rom each point at 12 o’clock every day. The directors of the New York and Wash ington Telegraph Company were in session yes terday, to settle up their business for the pas quarter. The reports submitted show a stead) tocrease of business, and indicate the profits t re about $1,000 per month. By the terms o: the constitution of this company, a dividenc cannot be declared until July next, by whict cime # ig anticipated they will be able to extenc their wire go as to cross the river at West Point ind from thence to your city, so as to make th: communication direct. This would make th: tine perfect, and doubly increase the benefits 11 now affords to the mercantile community and the press. £ At the meeting of the stockholdeis of the Penneylvania Railroad, held yesterday, the sup- plement to the charter recently passed by th: Lecisiature was unanimously adopted. The argument in the reqaisition for Major Daniels asa fugitive from justice, that was post voned yesterday because acousin of Judge Par- sons had come to town, and the latter was desir- sus to devote the whole day to him, was hearc chis morning, after which it was announced tha: a decision would be given on Saturday.

A merchant of this place has kindly communi cated to us a letter, dated Campeche, the 20th instant, the writer of which, 4 native of that place, seems to be pretty weil informed on the ubject of the Indian war. The follow: g isa extract of the letter :— “T think I eball not leave this city fer it will have been besieged by the iosing all hops of obtaining assistance f.om so cations; in short, not until 1 will be necesear: open cur gate indians and retreat to Such wilt bo ‘oreseen by looking at the consummate want of an courage ehown by the white aud colored Even now the Indians require no more or pave discovered a new that is easily w: aad crestrs nO expense; an only azainst the oe eons of Yucatan, This arm is favi cible—it is the war-whoop, When cur troops have to pass through some p ths country occupied by the Indi end meet with sbstruction in the road, th anoop Is sufficient to makes t muskets, and try the comparet heir lege. ‘There has not only one instance of tir kind ; but unfortunately, therehave been several.

The division which marched towards izemal, arrived without acoldent at Popola, one leaguc from Valladelid. In starting from that’ place, they tound the road completely obstructed, and iined with ambusoedes on either side. “Troy” was now in flames. The Indiana gave the ‘whoop,® few muskets were fired from within the tbicket,and the troops took to flight, only snzicus to save their own skins.

Sr. Louis, April 2, 1848. Preparations for the Municipal Election—Thea- tricals—Baldwin, the Murderer. There was a general rallying of the two great political parties last night, preparatory to the municipal contest which comes off to-morrow. Great enthusiasm prevails among all classes, and the struggle, no doubt, will be a close one The two candidates for the mayeralty—Kennett, (whig) and Krum (dem.) are both personally oopular; and each, probably, will run ahead of his ticket. As I intormed you in my last letter, the whigs and natives have united under the Taylor banner—so that the democrats must poll every vote they have, if they would ensure suc- cess. Long ere this reaches you however, the contest will have been decided. FG, oA I never witnessed a stronger determination ia the two parties here to gain, if possible, the su- premacy, than is manifested at present, Last aight the Taylor meeting at the Rotunda was a perfect jam. The galleries at an early hour were tilled with ladies, and many of both sexes were anable to gain admittance to any portion of the house. The speakers were among the best that this section of country affords ; and | assure you we have some in that way. Between the speech- es an excellent baad of music played enlivening airs, aod the whole affiir went off finely. The democrats, not to be outdone, held ra!ly- meetings in every ward in the city; and a large number patrolled the streets until a late hour— two immense omnibuses leading the way, from the windows and tops ot whic speeches were made by leading politicians of that party. Mr. Treat, of the Union, delivered an effective speech to a large concours: of citizens gathered in front of the Pianters’ House. He was followed by Capt. Reed, one of the heroes of Sacramento, and the leader of the victorious party at El Paso, inthe effiir against the Keech Indians. The redoubtable captain delivered an animited ad- dress, but created some merrimeut by several times exclaiming, ‘‘Geatlemen of the jury.” fle has quite a youthtul appearance, and is @ promising member of the bar. Our city is becoming quite lively ia the way of public amusements. Gen.

Ludlow & Smith’s theatre has been open about t_week. The season commenced with the Viennoise Children. They attract good houses, though some are of opinion that Madame Weies and her troupe are not so effective as when here last. Perhaps this is owing to the lack of tresh- ness ina second engagement.

As he affects insanity, a jury wa» empannelied to in- vestigate the state of his mind. Several phy- sicians gave it as their opinion that hs was not insane. The jury, however, could not agree, and were dismissed last night. They stood nine tor and three against insanity. The tather of the prisoner arrived to-day. The case will be laid over until next court, asthe present term ends to-morrow. Demractive Fire in Pittsburg. (From the Pittsburg Despatch, April 13 ] Our city has been sscene of intense excitement during the last twenty-four hours Yesterday morning, by five »elook, no less than six frame stables ia the 2d end Sth wards had been fired by incendiaries.

During the progress of this fire every ex-rtioo vas made by the firemen to stay the spread of the con.

Nothing but the greatest exertion by ‘he fire department, and the effects of a heavy rai: which had fallen on the previous evening, prevented » devastation unequalled since the grest fire of April Oth, 1845, Soarcely had the fire baén subdued when flsmes burst from and destroyed the stables uccusied by H & P ‘iraff, transporters, situated on Washiagton street, near the canal.
