The Insh meeting last night, like all Irish meet- ings, was very enthusiastic, but was not as well attended as was expected. As is generally the case, endeavors were made to use it as a political footstool to office and the Irish were blarneyed in good earnest by those whose peculiar vocations may render their votes desirable at some future day. The Irish are as ready to have blarney poured down their backs, as they are capable of pouring 1t down the backs of others, and they received the doze our office holders and seekers administered to them last mght, as a delicious morsel. About $1,000 was subscribed to the cauce of ireland during the evening, and commit- tees appointed to receive subseriptions from our citizens - The next news from Ireland is looked for here with intense interest, and a movement of the pikes is confident] oa It is quite laughable to read the columns of our city papers, filled as they are with anonymous laudations of various candidates for Mayor and Sheriff, written and published at the expense of the parties themselves. They are all determined to submit reluctantly to the wishes of their friends, some of whom have no friends,and give their valu- able services to the public. The hist of candi- dates forthe mayoralty and sheriflalty are rap- idl semeng but none of them stand any chance of being elected unless they have taken the benefit of the insolvent laws two or three times, can ride in therr carriages, throw the dust in the eyes of their creditors, and contribute money to popular objects that justly belong to others The Holliday street theatre is advertised for lease.

As it was understood that the Colonel is still a barnburning whig, a good deal | of excitement followed the announcement, and long before the appointed hour, a large crowd had collected, mostly of Rough and Readies. The Colonel, however, did not appear, and a lead- ing democrat, who attempted to ees the excited | crowd, was understood to say that the gentleman had not arrived in town. judging from indications, he permitted to speak. Several gentlemen, scme of them whigs, some_nativists, and some democrats, made efforts to be heard ; but, as the motley group present seemed bent on nothing so much as a row, their voices .were drowned in a general clamor. A Van Buren democrat was said to have been pre- sent, and rumor went that he desired to be heard, but this was generally believed to be an “invention of the enemy.” | Our State election comes off on Monday next, and in this city and county will bea very close one, The democrats will probably prevail by a small majority.

M., and foran hour were busily employed in considering a variety of bills, &c. when, On motion, the people were cleared from the galle- ries, and the Senate proceeded to the consideration of executive business. ‘They continued in secret session till half past three o'clock, when the doors were again opened, and the calendar cf private bills was resumed from ycsterday. At four o'clock, the Senate took a Fecess, in order to attend to the requisitions of their stomachs. EVENING SESSION. The Senate was called to order at six o’clock, P. M. Mr.Doverass movedjto take up the Oregon bill; but, after some conyersatlon, it was agreed to take up the ill 0: APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE ARMY. The sum of the several items of this bill reaches nearly to eleven millions of dollars, ($11,000,000) Several amendments were agreed to from the Finance Committee. The question coming down to an amendment ap- Propriating $200,000 for arrearages of certain surveys made in Oregon and California by Lieut. Col. Fre- mont, Mr. R. Jouxson desired to know under what autho- rity of law » Mr. Arnerron explained, that the item was for sur- yeys made in California, for which no appropriations had been mad Mr. Jounson—Then it was for surveys made without authority of law. Mr. Atnenton read from the report of Col. Abert, Chief of Topographical Engineers, that thereason the appropriation was net made last year, was, that from some accident or other, the appropriation was omitted in thereport of the Bureau for the Committee of Ways and Mean: Mr. Benton next read d further explained that this accidental omission might be explained by the French proverb, that “the dead and the absent are al- ways forgotten.’” Fremont and his party were {3,000 miles off, sir; and even if the appropriations were stop- d. he would have to be first informed before he could be suspended. Well, sir, out of the previous year's appropriation, the party of Fremont, augmented on account of the war trom thirty to fifty sixty men; and besides that, sir, another yy detached under Col. Abert and Lieut. Peck, who went out by the Red river, and throvgh the Camanche country to Santa Fe, with thirty men, sir, all paid out of that one year’s appropriation. The usual Spercresion was}$30.000—here we have 20.000—so that by a year's delay the government actually saves an amount of $10,000 upon the usual allowance. With some further conversation between Mr. John- son. Mr. Benton and Mr. Atherton. the amendment was agreed to. THE WAR IN CALIFORNIA Mr. AtHeRTon moved an item of $200,000, for the penees of the military operations in Alton Califor- nia, under Commodore Stockton and Lt. Col. Fremont, including ey of troops for services. horses, &e.; and providing also for the Payment of the civil’ expenses under the government of Commodore Stockton and Lt. Col. Fremont, as far as this sum will go to the Pay ment of said claims as far as ascertained. The amend- ment also prescribes the pay of the troops, $27 a 8, man and horse, and officers a cor- —What is that? Will the Chairman on Finanee explain? Mr. Atnerton explained the item. It substantially embraces the provisions relating to ascertained claims in the bill lately passed by the Senate. Mr. Davis—How are these claims ascertained? Mr. Atuerton explained that they were ascertain- ed from the muster rolis, and the time of service of the troops to be paid. The amendment, by request, was read again for in- formation. Mr. Unvrrwoop asked if all these claims were not provided for in the bill which lately passed the Senate, appropriating some seven or eight hundred thousand Goilars, for the payment of these California claims. Mr. Atiexron explalned that the appropriation in this bill would be a deduction from the other bill which bad passed the Senate Mr Uxprrwoop appeared to. be at a lots to know why the appropriation should be made in two bille, and desired to know how these $200,000 ever were as- certained Mr Benron—They were ascertained by the muster rolls. Mr. Uxperwoov—How were they, ascertained by the muster rolls” DEDATE GETTING LIVELY Mr. Bentox—That is none of eur business, The muster roll shows the time which the men have de- voted to the service—iheir compensation is fixed by law. ‘The case is perfectly plain. sir. We only propose to pay the claims thus ‘ascertained. I am surprised that the Senator from Kentucky should have an ob- jection to this. especially, sir, when the mass of these men serving in California were Kentuckians, under Colonel WH.

Mr Benton here described how these m Bad gone out some two or three thousand miles to C. ifornia ; how they had equipped themselves, horses and all; how they embarked on the Pacific, and sailed along the coast from one point to another; how they traverved the plains and mountains in the duties of the war; and all at their own expense, on the good faith of the United States. Now, si pay them, as far as ascertained; only ten cents a day for their horses, and that pays the horre account.

Hie said the fort was recommended by the department, and urged its importance as necessary, in care of war, to keep the British out of New Orleans. Mr. Barcuy—The appropriation, as I understand it, bas heretofore been rejected, and because the work was useless.

He entered into explanations, to which Mr. Nicoxt replied, and said, that when he sat down to read the papers he was prejudiced against the claim, but he was now free to confess that it was founded in justice. He put it to the good sense of the committee to say whether even red men would dispose of four or five millions of the best land in Georgia at | four cents an acre—this amount only had they re- ceived, ‘There was much confusion in the hall. neg d who Wished to listen left their desks and took seats in the area, to be a little nearer to the gentleman, who ably discoursed upen the subject .

We understood him to say tl ¢ i of money was consumed in the paynent of \n‘c- rest. Several other gentlemen delivered their views; among em, Mr. Conn, of Georgia, who complained that this claim was tacked ‘on toa bill to pa: ‘expenses of the ¢>- vernment. He declared it to an infameus system. Let members resist it, the bill, and bis word for it, the country would sustain them. He called upon ali to purify this bill, that it may be rent back thus to the Senate. Mr. Vinton said, that the bill must be passe to-night or to morrow.

This was declared to be out of order by the Chair- man. An appeal was taken, and he was sustained. Various amendments were agreed to, and at two o’eleck the committee rose and reported the bill to the House, when the amendments were concurred in, aad the bill was ordered to be engrossed, ‘There was objection to the bill being put upon its pasrage, and the House refused tc suspend the rules for this purpore— yeas 112, nays 59, A RECESS—DEFICIENCIES Mr. Vinton moved to take a recess from four to six o'clock.

Under the screw, it was agreed to. At twenty minutes past nine o'clock, the House again went inte Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and resumed the consideration of the amendments to the CIVIL AND DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. Bowven offered remarks in favor of the claim of David Taylor, an old man, who married an Indian woman; and who, under the Cherokee treaty of 1836, is entitled to the computation of 600 acres of land. The land was taken away from him, and he plied for reimbursement of the value in mone Commis- sioners had adjudicated the case, and vided in his favor. The officers of the government say the claim ia just ($496), but they think that legislation by Con- grees is necessary. Mr. Cuinoman, by permission, said afew words, and, in conclusion, said he was satisfied that the Indian bureau was thoroughly corrupt. Mr, Fanan replied, indignantly, that Col. Medill, the Commirtioner, was not the man to do wrong; and he raid, in the face of the American people, that he had no doubt the gentleman himself would be satisfied that he had madea mistake Mr. Bowpen remarked, that while remarks were be- ing made as to the merits or demerits of the Commis- sioner. no harm would be done to the claims of old man Taylor, The time to which debate was limited expired, and the committee proeecded to vote on the Senate amend- ments, the most important of which was THE AMISTAD CASE, For adjustment and execution, under the direction of the Secretary of State, of the claim of the Spanish government against the United States, as recommend- ed by the President of the United 8! $50,000.

Arista, Secretary of War, issued an order this morning, that every officer, from Paredes down to sub- lieutenants, be immediately executed, and the soldiers decimated! Lf this is true, there wil! be anend forthe nt to pronunciamentos. It will be interesting to your readers to hear that Lieutenant O'Sullivan, who was promoted from the ranks for gallant conduct at Monterey, and who was cashiered for Bopeatieany conduct in Mexico, had command of artillery under Paredes, and lost his leg in the first encounter with ert ‘ortazar. That he will be included in the bloody tragedy to which the traitors are doomed, there can be but little doubt. P,S Last night a rumor was raised, which gained general belief, that the above was entirely false, and that Bustamente was in full retreat for the capital; but this morning the original account which | have | givem has been confirmed. Private letters also speak of 25 or 30 others takenip company with Padre Jarauta, all of whom suffered the same fate. fret | The steamship nny, Capt, Scott, arrived yester- day from Vera Cruz, having left there on the 27th | ult.

It includes some of the wealthiest, most fashionable, and respecta- ble people of the city. Many of those who left here with the army, express- ed much reluctance to leave, and a purpose to return whenever they could be ured that the government had become firmly established, and order completely restored. That time has come, and gladly would the lonely little band of Americans gree‘ their brother Yankees. We now are few—we shall soon be many. Those who have tasted the luxuries of this delightful climate, and basked in the smiles of its dark-eyed daughters, will not easily forget them—and much less, when told by a grim old bachelor, who once thought that he had passed the age of feeling and prism pic- tured tancies, that peace has brought back inthe train of its blessings, troops of fairy attendants, who so add tothe gayety and beauty and fashion of the city, that the “conquerors” would hardly recognise in the Mexico of to-day, the Mexico that was paralyzed under the frowns of ‘grim-visaged war.”?

A rumor of amore serious nature had gained some credit in Vera Cruz; it was, that both the American and British Consuls bad been murdered by the Mexicans, at Tabasco. No cause was assigned for the act, other than that of a general hatred to foreigners.

From the St. Andrew's Standard we learn that the fire in that place (which, has before been men- tioned) was the largest which has ever occurred | there. The ropewalk and buildings owned by J. & R.

Such was the ey with which the flames spread that even the workmen employed in build- ing the vessel had not time to save their working toole, and the boys employed in the “walk” were obliged to save themselves by jumping out of the windows and doors. Messrs. Jarvis’s loss in- cluding the ropewalk, rope, several suits of new sails, new ship, &c., is estimated at £10,000. No insurance on the ropewalk, &c., and only £1000 on the vessel.
