F E. iH ! if | vee visiting the port had contri- buted to the amount of some three ar har thousand more, anda fine Bethel now floated in the Pearl Tiver, near ames, bere pao after eens congregate seamen ear the word of eternal life. He concluded by moving the resolution for the of the report A.H. Toor, of the U.S. Navy, seconded the resolution. He had, since his carliest child- hood been connected with the men for whose benefit they were laboring. He had suiled in ton men of War, and in six of them there had been no religious service: 3 in the other four there had been, and in two of them the men had voluntarily relinquished their . The influence had been most salutary; and in the last he had commandod, they had been two years on the Coast of Africa, captured three sla- ‘vers and boarded seventy ships, they had not hada single death on board during the cruise. He then spoke at some length on the subject of abolishing the grog allowance, contending that it Was useless to vindicate discipline until that were done by Congress, und urging all to persevere in endeavors te effect it. At the same time, ho did not wish to advocate the idea that all seamen were to be controlled by moral suasion; and the philan- thropists injured ‘the cause of seamen when they contended there was no necessity for a penal code for the incorrigible when milder means faile eerie ound always be rife w! paraded daily before appetite the @ar of ridicule in others, would induce them to drink it. There was no excuses for it now, as when the practice was first established. It was not now considered necessary by others, and it had been abolished with great advantage in the mercantile marine, and there was reason why the navy should be the last place where this foe to human happiness should be furnished. Tt was alone owing to the tardy spirit of logisla- tion in reforming known and adwitted evils. He all would exert themselves in this, and not cease till the grog allowance was struck forever from the navy ration book. We presume the report was adopted ; but in the eloquence which followed, the formulity of putting tion was lost sight of. A hymn, “‘Star of peace to wanderers weary,” was then sung by the choir of the Fourteenth street Presbyterian church ‘The Rev. Wa. T. Snort, Chaplain at the Mi tary Academy, West Point, and the Rey. E. L. MaGoon, cach addressed the meeting—the latter in @ most entertaining manner, revjewing the history of the rice and progress of the nation, and the pro dential circumstances attendant on all its great hi political crises. On the conclusion of his address, the doxology— * Praise God, fiom whom all blessings flow; Yraise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above. ye heavenly host— Praie Father. Son, and Holy Ghost,” was sung, und a benediction pronounced by Dr. Wycoff. f i The board, on the conclusion of the exercises, elected # third of the trustces who go out annually, and passed a vote of thavks to the choir for their attendance.

Wasnxatox, May 10, 1852, A large number of petitions were presented. INDEMNITY TO SPANIARDS WHOSE PROPERTY WAS DESTROYED DURING THE CUBAN EXOITEMENT, Mr. Maxxory, (dem) of Fa., offered a resolution direct- ing the Committce on Forcign Relations to inquire jnto the expediency of providing for the payment of the indemnity to Spanish subjects in America, growing out of damage to their property by any outbreak of the multi- tude, in consequence of events.attonding the late Cuban expedition. Io addressed the Senate in favor of th® equity of making such provision; and the resolution was INTERESTING TO SAILORS. Mr. Susven, (free eof) of -_ offered a resolution, directing an inquiry into the expediency of abolishing the deduction of 20 per cent from the wages of seamen in the merchant service, for the fund commonly called “hospital fund.” which was adopted. LANDS FOR KAIFROADS IN FLORIDA. On motion of Mr. Mortox, (whig) of Fla., the Senate teok up the bill granting land to Florida and Alabama, in aid of the construction of a railroad from Pensacola Bay to Montgomery, Ala. This bill having been amended 60 as to agree with other like bills, Mr. Morton moved two additional scetions, granting a like quantity of land for two other railroads—one from Pensacola Bay to Mobile Bay, and the other from the same to Chatta- hoochee and Flint river, in Georgia. ‘These sections were agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be engrossed.

Mr. Uxprrwoon, (whig) of Ky., moved to take up the bill granting lands to Illinois and Indiana for a railroad trom oppssite Louisville, Ky.. to opposite St. Louis. Mo. After several slight amendments, the bill was ordered to be engrossed. MISSISSIPPI SCHOOL LANDS.

LANDS GRANTED FOR RAILROADS IX FLORIDA AND ALABAMA. ‘The bill granting lands to Alabama for the Girard and Mobile Railroad, and the bill granting land to Florida to aid in the construction of the Florida, Atlantic, and Gulf Central Railroad and its branches, which were, on Friday, ordered to be engrossed, were read a third time and paseed. SALARIES OF JUDGES IN NORTHERN NEW YORK. Mr. Fient, (whig) of N. Y., offered a resolution, which was agreed to, directit inquiry as to the propriety of increasing the salary of the United States Judges of the Northern district of New York. INTERESTING DEBATE. RELATIVE TO THE COLLINS STRAMERS, The deficiency bill was then taken up, and Mr. Wave, (whig) of Obio, opposed the amendment giving aid to tho Collins line, He stated the various rounds taken by the advocates of the amendincnt, and eld that they were contradictory and self refuting. ' Up- on one thing they, however, ail agreed, and that was, that this appropriation will enable them to gratify the national vanity by beating John Bull ina boat race on the ocean. However desirable this enterprise might be, he was op- posed to forcing itdike a hot house plant, Let American enterprise alone, and it will eventually,in this respect, as in all others, beat that of John Bull. He looked upon and argued to show that this was nothing but aplain palpable case of monopoly—a proposition to enable this company to carry on the business of steam navigation, to the exclusion of all others who might desire to engage init, which he conceived to be rank injustice to all other navigating interosts, Ie was surprised to see the special friends of free trade advocat- ing this policy. Free trade was right or was wrong. If they allow Great Britain to supply us with iron, because she can do #0 cheaper than Americans can, why not let her carry the mails if she can do so cheaper? If protection be afforded at all, let it mot be for any special object, but generally, and includo all branches of American labor and industry. Let this be done, and you will enable American industry and labor to excel those of England, as do our magnificent rivers and country those of Great Britain. Some years ago Congress undertook te do much for the improvement of the commerce of the West ngincers were engaged, and most extensive ma- chinery purchased, ke. But ina year or two the work was stopped, and the machinery was sold off ; and since that day, nothing whatever has been heard in that quar- ter of Uncle Sam. The people of the West have been anxiously looking for him from that time to the present. It was this anxiety. probably, which induced the ques- tions that were put to the Senator from Michigan, a few years ago, and which. owing to the noise and confusion, he could not answer. (Laughter. Mr. Cass, (dem.) of Michigan—Whenever these words, ‘noise and confusion,” are used, I have the prescriptive right to the floor, (Laughter.) Has the Senator never read a letter from Governor Wood, of his own State, de- nying the whole story ? Mr. Wavr—Yoa, Ihave. Idid not say whether there was anything in it or not. I merely said that there ex- ixted a great anxiety out there to know what had become of Unele Sam, and probably those questions were put to the Senator under the rupposition that he knew as much about his whereabouts as anyone clso, The Senator is now for voting, tosupport this, lino, a sum of money amounting, during the time of that contract, to but lit- tle less than seven millions of dollars, Mr. Cass,—I am for no such thing. Mr. Rusk, (dem.) of Texas, reminded the Senator that there was a return, in the shape of postages, for the money paid this line, Mr. Wave aid that, however that may, be there is no noise and confusion in the Senate now, and he desired to know whether thehenorable Senator from Michigan would vote @ like amount of money for the improvement of the rivers and haibors of the West, and whether the Wost Manoeuvres of the Politicians in = war steamers. and could usposse fos sod gre which would Wg Movements tn the State of Rwy York.

PROPOSITION TQ, PURCHASE MOUNT VERNON, Mr. Cuttum, (whig) of Tenn., asked leave to introduce the following resolution:--- Resolved, That the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds be instructed to inquire into the expediency of urchasing for the pullic use, the estate of Mount Vernon, she Inst residence of George Washington, and the resting place of his bones; and also, at what timo the same can be Purchased, and as to what, if aus, use it oan bo dedicated; andthat they report by biil or othorwise, Objections to its introduction were made in several di- rections, Mr. McMutrn, (dem.) of Va., moved—and the house agreed to go into Committee of the Whole, on THE HOMESTEAD BILL. The Committee rejected the pending amendments to strike out, “giving homesteads, free of cost,” and insert, first. fifty cents, and secondly, twenty-five cents an acre, Among a large number of amendments offered, was one by Mr. McMullen, who said he was going to contine him- self strictly to its merits ; if he should deviate from this, he trusted the Chair, or any other gentleman. would cali him to order, and further. that all others would be held to @ striot compliance with the rules, Mr. Oxps. (dem.) of Obio—I call the gentleman to or- der, Ho is not speaking to his amendment. (Laughter.) Mr. Hovstox, (dem.) of Ala.. said that the rules are pervertod and dostroyed. through their non-enforcement, and it is evident the House wilt never get through with the bill, if irrelevancy of debato shall b» tolerated. ‘Le should attempt to confine gentlemen to the mark, if otaee gentlemen would wndertake the task. Mr. O:ve—I only made the pointat the request of the gentleman from Virginia. i Mr. McMutixes—! havo effected my object, and there- fore withdraw my amendinent. ‘A Voice—That’s right, Mac. The first section of the bill, finally, was suffered to ro- main exactly as it was when tho bill was introduced, af- ter repeated attempts to amend it, and is as follows :— ‘Thas every man or widow, who isthe head of afamily, and a citizen of the United States, shall, from and after the pas- be entitled to enter, free of cost, on one qui er section of vacant and unap) nds, 0 quantity equal thereto, to be y, in conto mity with the lezal subdivisions of the public lands, and ter the same shall have been surveyed. ‘The six remaining sections of the bill were passed through with slight amendments, after several ineffectual attempts further to amend them #0 as to give persons not naturalized the benefit of the bill. which is not finally shaped, there being sundry substitutes for it pend- ing. The committee then rose, YAYETTRVILLE. AND CENTRAL PLANK ROAD, The House passed the Senate resolution for the benefit of the Fayetteville and Central Plank Road Company. MUCH ADO ABOUT HOUSE CLEANING, The House. on motion of Mr, Johnson, (dem.) of Arkansas, took up the resolution, heretofore introduced by him, Proposing a brief summer recess. The assistant Clerk read it. in substance, that “for the purpose of having the Hall refitted and oleaned for summer session. the House adjourn from Tuesday, the Ist of June, until the 4th of May.” As the Clerk made a mistake in read- ng May, instead of June, the House was convulsed with ee r. ir. Houston called the Clerk to order, for reading non- sense. (Laughter.) The Crenx, after the merriment had subsided, again read the resolution, this time correctly, The House then agreed to the amendment of Mr. Gay- lord, that the recess be from the 16th, 16th and 17th days of May, by ayes 69, noes 62. The question was now stated in tho resolution as ended. Mr. Jones, (dem.) of Tenn., moved to reconsider tho vote; and Mr. Jounson, of Ark., moved to Iny that resolution upon the table. Mr, Pox. (dem.) of Tenn., in « low tone, said that there seems to be great fret’on this side of the hall, as ifsomething was not understood. Mr. Jones, of Tenm.—I will tell you what itis, We will lose a week now and a week when the Baltimore Convention meets. Mr. Swxerzen, (dem,) of OhioJ moved to lay the reso- lution on the table, Mr, Staxzy, (whig) of N. C.—I ask for the yeas and nays. Tir, Porx.—Certainly, I'want them taken. Mr. Onn, (dem.) of 8.

INJUNCTION REFUSED AGAINST THE ATLANTIC AND OHIO, AND THE PITTSBURG, CINCINNATI, AND LOUISVILLE TELEGRAPH COMPANIES. Puitapeienta, May 10, 1852, A bill in chancery was filed in the Circuit Court of the United States, for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, against James K. Morehead, President of the Atlantic and Ohio Telegraph Company, and the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and Louisville Telegraph Company, and against other per- sons, members of the said companies, to,restrain them from using Morse's Telegraph Patents, Notice being given o 8 motion for an injunction, the case came on this morn ing, in the Cireult Court at Philadelphia, before the Hon” Judge Kane. ‘The complainant that he was entitled to one juarter of the stock, and one quarter of the dividends in the above lines, generally known as the O'Reilly contract; and that baving made an amicable set- tlement with O'Reilly, on the 2nd of December last, he had demanded the stock and diyidends. which were re- fueod by the companies. The complainant had his own affidavit, and also that of Henry O'Reilly, in regard to the establishment of these lines, and his settlement with Mr. Smith, On the part of the defendants it was claimed that the stockholders in those companies had subscribed and made their investments on the faith of the O'Reilly contract, and had for some years faithfully endeavored to comply with its terms, by setting aride the stock and dividends; but that Smith and the other owners of the patent, find- ing the telegraphing business Hkely to become profitable, combined to annul the contract, and to extort from the subscribers one-half, instead of one-fourth of the stock, for the use of tho patent; that, for this purpose, they ro- could depend upon his vote at this session for such # bill? Mr, Cass enid that his views upon this subject had been fully made known at the last session of Congress, He should vote for a bill upon the subject of internal im. provements—a reasonable bill, the items of which have been examined and reported trom the War ment, and which does not push the expenditures too far. or un- He was not for establishing a great system of provement, but there are rivers and harbors for the improvement of which ho would vote, Mr. Wave was glad to hear the honorable Senator's declaration.
