No news of the Hibernia at Halifax, when our paper went to press this morning. itruggle for the Speakership—No Re- sult yet, It will be seen by the telegraphic report of the proceedings in the House of Representatives, yes- terday, that there were three ballotings for Speaker, without’any result. The House then adjourned, in confusion; and, in the course of the evening, the free soilers held a caucus, at which they resolved ‘o maintain the poeition which they assumed at the commencement, and have maintained to the precent time. There appears to be a determina- tion among them not to submit to any compremuise, and the consequence is, that it is very uncertain when the House will be organized and the Presi- dent’s message delivered. This isa curious state of things on the com- mencement of a new administration, and we have no doubt that General Taylor is much surprised at it. But it would have been otherwise if the ca- binethad acted as they ought to have acted eince their accession to power. Their policy, foreign and domestic, co far as it was developed, has caused a reaction in public sentiment throughout the country, and to this reaction may be attributed the want of administration power in that branch of the national legislature. However, we must take things as they are, and make the best of a bad bargain, trusting that in dve time all will be right. We put our trust in the eound common sense of General Taylor. Scenes Ie W gress—Altercation Between Messrs, Duer and Meade, Our readers will find, in anether columa, a graphic account of the altercation which took place on Thursday last, in the Heuse of Repre- sentatives at Washington, between Messrs. Duer and Meade. lt appears that Mr. Meade made some remarks, to the effeet that if propositions to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, or to prohibit that instication in the new territories, were introduced, he hoped his eyes had already rested | on the last Speaker of the House; and, in conse- | quence of those observations, Mr. Duer, of New York, pronounced him a disunionist. Mr. Meade replied that the charge was false, and Mr. Duer then called him a liar. Then ensued a scene which cannot be looked upon in aay other ght but disgraceful to the House of Representatives, to the parties who produced it, and to the couutry at large. We are glad to see there is but one opinion in the community concerning this bear-garden scene qm the popular branch of the national legislature. If it is but the prelude to others of a more aggra- vated character, then, indeed, we have good reason to fear that frequent collisions, between represen- tatives from diflere nt parts of the Union, will take place before the adjournment, which may ead in serious consequences. We had hoped that a great deal of the ill-temper with which members w charged on their arrival at Washington, had been expended in the numerous strug, to Speaker, that have taken place since the com- mencement of the session ; but it seems that there as abundance of that combustible material still on hand; and unless a very important chan temperament of the members is produ Will in all probability be some sad and deplorabl occurrences when the great crisis on the question of slavery comes around. If there was a session during which moderation and good temper were especially required, the present is it. E vast territories on the Pacific to the United States, growing out of the late war with Mexico, a struggle has been brewing between the North and elect a the South, in relation to the institution of ory in Californie, which, in the opinion ot all temperate people, would require a great deal of moderation and mutual compromie in iis management, in order to prevent difficulty or disunion. It was ho; that the members would meet in euch a temper; but the history of the proceedings of the House of Representatives, since the commencement of the session, is sufficient to satisfy all that sectional ecling, of adeep and bitter character, prevails among the members to an alarming extent. What, then, are we to expect, when the great trial comes on, in regard to the slavery questiea? Already we have seen eeven Southern members recede from a preliminary caucus, because it was decided that a caucus wes not the proper place for the discussion of the slavery question, or the exposition of the views of Southern men cencerning it. More ecently, we have seen language used by one member towards another, which would be d discreditable in any of the lowest grog shop town, and which i# appropriate only on the pur- heus of the Five Points With there things before ue, ell rational and moderate men, of all parties throughout the cour try, cannot but view with regret the temper which has been exhibited in the House. When the fire- brend of elavery is introduced, and when the hour of conflict on that subject between the North and Bouth arrives, ails than what has already been exhibited, we may expect a collision between the ultras of both sections, that may shock the Union to the centre, and perhape pave the way for a dissolution of th’ gloriour confeder: ney Tue Morprr or De.

By reference to another column, it will be seen that the jury of inquest in the case of Dr. Parkman, in Boston, closed their labors on the evening of the 12:h inst., after a session of ten days found that Dr. Webster is guilty of the murder of Dr. Parkman, and will have to take a trial for his | W hat testimony was elicited before the jury, | Ife we are not apprised; and a determination on the part of the authorities to keep the matter secret, until it come, before the petit jury for trial, will | keep the public in suspense as the character of the evidence rt since the acquisition of the | | d | They have | | the eda | and tw Tue New Raitway Joe ann Tax Common Coun cu.~ It will be seen, by reference to the proceed- ings of the Common Council on last evening, that a portion of that body had evidently made up ther minds to force upon the people, right or wrong, and before the eitizens had an opportunity of re- monstratiag against it, a new railway project, for the benefjt of John Ridley and some half a dozen other individuals. It mattered not that offers were made of $10,000, $15,000 and $20,000 for the pri- vilege by others, and by one gentleman $5,000 per annum; they would listen to nothing, but grant away the property of the citizens for rothing. These gentlemen are not in the habit of acting in that way with what is their own; and whet right, we ask, have they to be so lavish of what is not their own, they being merely trustees for the people? Lt was only by dint of wearying them out by: speaking against time to points ef order, and against all order, that they were baflled for the present by Aldermen Webb. They will, however, return to the charge on Monday. If the project were the most desirable in the world, to force 1t with Inde- cent haste through the Council, in this manner, be- fore the people have time to pronounce upon its merits, is, to say the least of it, unconstitutional and despotic, and wholly unbecoming the represent- atives of free citizens. Tux Barrery Exrarncement.—This foolish pro ject, we perceive, is etill advocated by some in- terested parties, who, no doubt, wish ultimately to make it a subject of private speculation. Notwith- standing that it has been unanimously condemned by the publie, and has been hooted out of the Common Council, it is stili kept alive, with the hope of worrying the people into an expenditure of half a million or a million of dollars, to no purpose. We, trust that the Common Couneil will not again listen to it. If it should ever be discovered that there is more money in the city treasury than there is need for, there will be no difficulty in discovering ways in which it can be profitably expended, without running inte foolish extrava- gances, that would be of no earthly benefit to the public. To be sure, this Battery enlargement would, in all probability, be beneficial to a few private speculators, but it certainly would not re- sult in any good to the community. Let it, there- fore, be abandoned for ever, Police Lateiligence, ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF THE GREAT CALIFOR- NIA GOLD ROBBERY—ARREST OF THE PARTIES— LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY RECOVERED. ‘We publithed in this journal, yesterday, that oflcer A.M.
