Wasiixcron, May 14, 1852 CREDENTIALS OF A NEW SENATOR, Mr, Ssutn, of Conn., presented the credentials of Liane Toucey recontiy elected Senator from that State, and the gentleman wes duly qualified, and took his seat. A CALL FOR INFORMATION IN RELATION TO THR WITHDRAWAL OF THE AUSTRIAN MINISTER. Mr. Sewanp presented a resolution, which lios over, calling upon the President, if not incompatible with the public interests. to communisate to the Senate any com- munication made by M. Hulsomana, now or lately Charge d’Affaires for Austria,on or about the 27th o Apull Inet. to the Secretary of State, ov the occasion of the withdrawal of said Hulsemann; and also a copy of any reply thereto made by the Secrotary of State; and also copies of all communications in relation to the subject. ANTHRAOITE AND BITUMINOUS COAL, ETC. Mr Prarr, (whig) of Md. presented the resolutions of the Legislature of Maryland. They were not read, but their object m:y perhaps be inferred from his saying that Maryland has expended twenty or twenty-five mil- Lions of dollars in developing the resources of the western rt of the State. and that Mr C. B. Stowart. the Chief winver ofthe Navy. had made a report to the Navy De partment to the effect that anthracite coul is better adapted to the goneration of steam than bituminous coul—tbus contradicting all anterior experiments made under the auspices of this government. It was, he said, important to the people of Maryland that there should be a fuir test of these coals. ‘The resolutions were referred to the Committee on Na- val Affairs. MORE. LANDS GRANTED FOR RAILROADS. ‘Tho Sonate ordered to be engrossed, for a third reading. the bill granting the right of way, and making a grant of land to the States of Indiana. Illinois, and Iowa, toaid in the construction of a railroad from the Wabash to the Missourl. ‘Tho resolution calling upon the Seoretary of the Ni 6 resolution uy e Navy for the report of Lieut. Temple. detailing the oocurrences at Vera Crus during the an war, was next taken up. Mr. Hare. (free soil) of N. H., sald that as the glittor of military glory was connected with this eubject, the jet, was intended to be brought into tho hopper of the tidential election. The honorable Senator from Cali- fornia, the other doy, said that the Democratic Conven- tion would nominate no man who is not for the Compro- mise as a finality. Now, he wished to give his opinion, that Ifthe candidate should bo piaced on that platform, he would meet with a defeat as complete as was the whig victory of 1848, If. he repeated, considering the turbu- lent condition of their nds in the free States, they should tack the approval of these measures, including the Fugitive Slave law, to the Baltimore platform, the scattered planks ot the Buffalo platform will be rebuilt, apd ascene of great confusion generally will prevail— peorded they can coax General Scott on the same plat- form. Avast deal of credit is taken by gentlemen for saving tho Union—though some gentlemen think there are doubts about this, which isto be attributed to tho Buffalo Piatform—(laughter)--and to the manifestation of that rebellious spirit which the Northern democrats have against submitting to now tests. This demonstrated to those who wielded. and who would wield, the force and evergy of the government in this direction, that it is not safe to go that way any further. and they should by this demonstration, fecl that, though themselves but asmall minority, they took their bors with them. 17 this is bistory, wo should tmp:ove by it, The. only way in which we (the democrats,) can recover our lost power, is to give up idle pretences of swearing to sup- port the finality of the Compromise. and the endorsement of the Fugitive Slave law, (laughter.) as a part of our creed. Tho only way is to let bygones be bygones. If we endeavor to regain power and place, we might a well understand at once that the Compromise , us a politi- cal measure. is just as dead as the Buffalo Convention— both must be content to Lie together. and their friends can go and weep together over them. (Laughter.) You cannot elect a man without the support of the Buffalo democrats, and they screwed their conscience to the last extreme when they agreed to stand on the Baltimore platform. They do not feel comfortable there; but they will remain there. for the purpose of getting power and plunder. However, if you undertake to tie fugitive slave to one of its uprights, and the endorrement of one of the Compromise measures ns a qualification of demo cracy. you will drive them off—every man of them. As to General Scott, Mr. Hale thought that if he should be nominated as he stands, he would make a pretty fair race of it. But if General Scott iy better at fighting than letter-writing and he hoped the General's friends would. impress thison him. If, however, Scott shall put him- self on that platform, his defeat will be more overwhelm- ing than that of any Mexican General with whom he ever camo in contact; his chunoe, at best, isnot more than middling. Mr. H. observed that as the meeting of the convention is at hand he thought it te be his duty to make these remarks" Mr. Pratt, (whig,) of Md., on rising, said that he did not intend to enter into tho debate, but to contradict a report which had been circulated widely, viz: that while Millard Fillmore was the presiding officer of this body, under the expectation that a casting vote on the com- promite mearures might be thrown upon him. he had de- termincd to vote against them. The rumor furthor de- scerded to particulars; and it was said that be had pre- pared a paper. in advance, giving reasons for the anticl- puted vote, He, (Mr. Pratt.) thinking this rumor very urpriting, went to the President and conversed with him about it. and the Presiden: had authorized bim to say that the report is utterly unfounded; in fact, that howas in favor of those measures during the whole time they were being discussed, and that there was no period when, if left to his vote. he would have voted against them, On motion of Mr. Hunter, (dem.) of Va,, the Senate postponed the general orders, THE DEI Adry discussion arose on an amendment concerning the Creek Indians. and without coming to 9 conclusion, the Senate adjourned.

Banka, Speakerof the Massachusetts House of Reprosentatives, presided, and the meeting was addressed by the Rev. Messrs. Pierrepont and Slicer, and William A. White. Koseuth followed with an exposition of European poli tics, in which he referred erpeoially to the present post tlon of Hungary, and the prospects of her rogaining hee independence, arguing that the present position of that country was an unnatural one, and one which mus of neceseity be changed soon. He said that ther were 20,000 000 of Hungarian bank notes bearing his sig- nature which the people had, eaying. that when he should come back they would bo good. ‘The country was taxed undor his administration but four and a half mil- Hiona of dollara, while under Austrian rule it was now made to pay sixty-fiue millions, He also arguod from the fact that Hungary had been deprived of half her commeree—the numerous exactions on her people, and the fact that the Austrian army comprised 165 000 Hun- gariane—thot a ehange was certain to take place in the condition of Hungary.

It seoms that at longth the great Hungarian exile has announced a day when he will visit this city, which is Tuesday next. Why the long delay, no one appears to Inquire. Governor Hunt invited him when he was in New York, shortly after his arrival, and ho consented to come, The Common Council, and subsequently the State Legislature, extended an invitation, and one of our sity loungers, assuming an epaulette and a aes air, was deepatched to Cincinnati. at the expense of the State, to lay the document personally before the ex-Governor of Hungary. Dut, instead of coming here, he journeyed southward to the Missiseippi, and it ix eaid met with rather indifferent success in the disposal of the bonds. Since his appearance in New Kugland, he has been pro- vided with more material uid than the chivalry of the South thought proper to bestow. Ho comes here the cepecial guest of his Excellency Gevernor Hunt; he has so notified him.
