Wasuinaton, August 24, 1852, The River and Harbor bill will certainly pass, having been engrossed im the Senate to-day. The House will dis- agree to the Senate amendment: id the Dill w ll pass as originally matured in the House. Hon. Lorenzo Burrows, we learn, dootines positively the Postmaster Generalship, and Hon, James Brooks is now spoken of as likely to be appointed. ‘The difficulty between General Cullom and Major Polk, to-day, in the House, is likely to lead to a duel, ‘THIRTY-SHCOND CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Senate. Wastuwcror, August 24, 1852, THE GULY OF CALIFORNIA, The Crain procemted a report from the War Depart- ment. enclosing a copy of a reconnoisance of the Gulf of California. . THE FLORIDA SENATORSHIP, Mr. Morton, (whig) of Fla., presented a communication from the Hon. D. L, Yulee, asking to be allowed to be heard in person upon the subject of the contested Senatorship of Florida, and showing that the committee had erred in thelr report on the subject. It was read, laid upon the table, and ordered to be printea. Mr. Morrow offered a resolution that Mr. Yulee be heard at the bar of the Senate, upon the subject of the contested election of a Senator from Florida. Laid over, THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION INVESTIGATION. Mr. Weiter. (dem.) of Cal , moved to take up the mo- tion to reconsider the vote ordering a committee of ii vestigation on charges preferred against Mr. Bartlett, the Mexican Boundary Commissioner. and commented severe- ly upon the conduct of Mr. Bartlett. After some remarks by Mr. CLanxr, the motion was ta- ken up, and the Senate refused to reconsider. sa Cas v8 FREE FARM BILL ir. Fisn, (whig) of N,¥., presented petitions against the Homestead bill, om rs by THE WHFELING BRINGE CASE. Mr. Bavcer, (whig) of N. C . from the Judiciary Com- mittee, reported the House bill declaring the Wheeling bridges lawful structures, with a recommendation that it do pars. He briefly stated the reasons governing the committee on making this report, and moved that it be now considered. Mr. Bropireap, (dem.) of Pa , said it was an important Dill, and his colleague. who felt an interest in it desired to be beard on it, but be was now absent, and the bill ought to lay over. The bill was to prevent the execu- tion of a judgment of the Supreme Court. Mersrs. Mason and Hale supported taking up the bill. Mr. Brovuran called for the yeas and nays, which teing taken, the motion to take up was decided in the negative, by yeas 21, nays 33. ‘THE TARIFF PROPOSITIONS. Mr. Hunter. (dem.) of from the Committee on Finance, reported back Messrs. James’ and Stockton’s bills for a modification of the tariff. by providing for home valuation of imports instend of the foreign valu’ tion, with a recommendation that the subject be post: poned till next session, there being no time for its con- sideration now lett. THE CIVIL AND DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION BILL was taken up, and many amendments were adopted. One hundred thousand dollars were appropriated for the custom house at Richmond, Va, and the same amount for the enlargement of the custom house at Bultimore. Mr. Hunrex moved an amendment, providing that hereafter there shall be a Minister Plenipotentia China, instead of a Commissioner, and a Minister Pieni- potentiary to Turkey. instead of a Minister Resident. oat palary of the Minister to China to be increased to 9.000. Mr. Cranke, (whig) of R. I., said that the duties of the Commissioner to China, since it was established, had, in fact, been discharged by Dr. Parker, who received but a salary of $3,500 % year. All those who had been com- mistioned to China had received but $6,000 a year, and no complaints had been made He objected to this in- crease of compensation on another groung. Mr. Mar- shall. of Ky.. it had been announced, had been appointed Commissioner to China, and it was known that Mr. Mar- shall was a member of the present Congrees till within a few weeks past. The constitution declared that no member of Congress shall be appointed to any office created. or the emoluments of which shall be increased, during the Congress for which he shall have been elected. The constitutional objection was insuperable, in his mind, to the increase of the compensation. He said that there were several consuls provided for in China. There were no diplomatic relations to be kept up with China— all the duties to be performed were purely commercial, and could be performed as well by a commissioner as by a full minister. Mr. Prancr, (whig) of Md., said that the Committee on Finance. with 2 view to overcome the constitutional diMeulty. bad: reported this amendment, changing the office of Comuissioner to that of Linister Plenipoten- Tt being now one o'clock, the bill was postponed. THE RIVER AND HARHOR IL, Was then taken up. The question pending was on con- ewring in the amendments to the bill made in Commyt- tee of the Whole—the firet of which was the appropria- tion of $90.000 for the Mississippi, $90 000 for the Ohio, and $40.000 each for the Arkansas and Missouri rivers, and $150 000 for the purchase of snag boats, dredging machines, &o., for there rivers. Mr. Dopar, (dem.) of Iowa, urged the friends of the bill to vote down all amendments—it was the only way to save the bill. Mr. Sureeps, (dem ) of Tl. was for adopting all the amendments. Mr, Rusx, (dem.) of Texas, was opposed to the enlarge- ment of any euch principle—that the Senate should amend no bill for fear the House would disagree with them, Mr, Cass, (dem.) of Mich., was opposed to amending the bill, aud made an argument in favor of tho bill. He went into the history of bispast course on the subject of these bills. Mr Jones, (whig) of Tenn., favored the amendments, and thought they strengthened the bill Mr. Hunren made an argument against this plan of river and harbor improvements. Mr. Boriaxn, (dem.) of Ark., replied. Mr, Butien, (dem.) of Ark., opposed the bill at leegth. Hen Brooxr Gruig) of Miss., was in favor of amending the bill, The question was taken, and the first amendment was agreed to by yeas 37, nays 15. All the other amendments made in committee were concurred in at one vote except two—these were, the NEWS BY TELEGRAPH, one making an appropriation for a survey of the Falls of the Ohio, which, after considerable debate, was amended so as to provide for an estimate for enlarging the Louis- ville and Portland Canal. and was then agreed to. ‘The other was for a breakwater at Waukegan, which was also, after debate, concurred in. Mr. Dopar, of lowa. moved to insert $50,000 for the im- provement of Rock River Rapids, and it was Lee to, Nomerous othor amendments, for_ surveys of rivers in California, Floride, Mississippi, and Texas, were propoced, and all rejected. Messrs. Gwin and Wriier (democrats) of California, opposed the bill; and at a quarter past six it was or- dered to be engrossed, by yeas, 21, nays, 17, as follows:— Yeas~Megers Bayard, Bell, Borland, Cass, Chase, Clarke, Cooper, Dodge of Wisconsin, Dodge of lewa, Dougla Fish, Foot, Grier, Halo, James, Jones of Lowa, Tenneseeo, Miller, Morton, Pearco, Pratt, Rusk, Seward, Shiolie, Smith, Spruance, Sumner, Underwood, Wade, an: Walker—31.

Mr Donaar, (whig) of Mass., asked to be excused from. pod the committee, being already a member of two other committees ‘The Srraken said, on reflection, the rales themselves, under the circumstances stated, excused the gentleman. SAPRTY TO STRAMMOAT PASSENGERS, The House resumed the consideration of tho bill the Letter to secure the lives of passengors ou steamboats, Verious amendments wore acted upon under the aper- ation of the previous question. Among the most impor- tow’ of those ‘was one striking out the obligation Of a life boat tor every thtY passengers, and substitu'iny a grade of from three to six boats, aco. taing to tonnage, the inspectors being authorized to exemp* steamers navi- | a od only from the obligation to Carry the life Lerein provided for. except one, the eam being of suitable dimensions, made of motals, furniai%d with all the necomary apparatus for use and safety—such steamers having other suitable provisions tor the )'te- servation of life in case of fire or other disasters.

My colleague can answer whether he was con- nected with this betrayal, Mr Cvi10m.—My colleague in the Senate can answer for bimeelf. 1 proclaim here that I have entered into no collusion. public or private and I promounee the insinw ation gratuitous, unfounded, untruthful, and utterly ire, The Craimman—Mr. Venable, whig. of N. 0.—knocked to order. and much excitement was everywhere manifest- ed, Many of the members rose to their feet, and a rush was made by the lobby occupants to the bar. Mr. Pork resumed, saying there was but one way to arrive at the facts. and that was a straighttorward course. Lrepeat. Senator Jones betrayed the whig party of Ten- nessee; and I will make another chargo—f will not allow this thing to go into an indefinite kind of responsibility— I will make ita fixed one. I say when my colleague made the assertion. at the City Hall, in this city, that Frapklin Pierce, or his horse, fainted, he lied ! The Cramman and others called to order, and there hv ats excitement and apprehension of a personal conflic on.—When my colleague insinuates that I ‘© representation be is a Har. (Sensation.) '—I ask some friend to come to me. . Gur.0M.—That's what I say, Mr. Foarnron (dem.) of Ohio—I ask that the finality resolutions be read. Mr Poux resumed, saying that after all the illiberal, unfair, and shameful attacks on Gen. Pieroe, it was un necessary to review Gen. Scott's history. and hend down to > poaterity denial that Scott is all that his friends claim for him, and history would show this He then spoke of Scott's persecution of Worth, Duncan, Dickin- son, Pillow, and others, being envious of their tame, and not wishing them to share the bonors of the campaign There soldiers were the victims of Scott's vengeance, end Scott was not only unworthy as a civilian, but is « megnificent humbug—facts prove these things. After mentioning many things told to him by the late Gen. Worth, lie said that Scott was sitting in proud state when Senta Anna's comwmiscioners came to know whether Scott would fight at Chapultepec or not. Scott played the grandce snd submitted to it, and thus sacrificed seven hundred and fifty lives at Moline del Rey. Mr. Winte, (whig) of Ky . rose. saying he understood the gentleman to make an allusion to an alleged under- standing between Scott and Santa Anna. He wished to know whether the gentleman could produce no other evidence for this than by going to the graveyard ? Mr. Porx—I soy what Fave statea ts correct, and I can prove it. Mr. Wirtr-~TI call for the proof. Mr. Poux—i will say, in answer to the gentleman, that it is not my purpose to engage in personal controversy. But | learn that he has been pitte 2 here to aseail me and 1 fay he understands the rules which govern gentle- amen of honcr in his country and mine, and whenever he neke, I will answer him. Mr, Wnitr—1 ask the gentleman to give way for a per- sonal explanation, Mr. Porx—Of course. Mr. Wiuwe—The gentleman says he understood that 1 was selected to be pitted against him. I say it is false, and that whenever my honor 4s assailed, I know what to resort to. The excitement was now at the fever point all over the hall. Mr. Porx—For fear of misapprehension, I tell the gen- tieman he is a liar, A dozen gentlemen here jumped to their feet, while others called to order, and there was the greatest con- fusion, amid which. Mr Cnanpien, (whig) of Pa ,said the scene was dis- graceful, and moved, ina loud tone, that the committee rise. Cries—“Agreed. agreed? “Order, order.”” The Chairman banged with his gavil, and by this time everybody was on tiptoe. Ciurs—Down in front’-—Order.” went the hammer. Mr. Poux refured to give way to Mr. Chandler, saying, “T have the floor,” Mr. Bayiy, (dem) of Va., said the motion of Mr, Chandler would not effect the object desired. The Caiman said the motion of the gentleman could not be entertained, Mr. Polk not yielding the floor for that purpose. Mr. Cuanpien—The language used in this House is ir- ritating. yx to quarrels dd perhaps to bloodshed. I appeal to the House to sustain its dignity; such proceed- ings are diegraceful, Fortunately the excitement soon subsided. Mr. Por Continued his speech in praise of Gen. Pierce and in detraction of Gen. Scott, representing the latter in anything but a beecming light, and wound up by ma- king Teference to a ceriain document, distributed by the whigs to injure Gen Picrce in the North, they having re- printed an article from the Nafional Era, showing that Pierce is a friend of slavery, while documents ofa contra- ry cbaracter, based on the New Boston speech, are flood- ing the South. Mr, Cunrom asked leave to make a personal explana- tion, ; Mr. Stvant, (dem) of Mich., objected, only on the ground that the general discussion had terminated by pre- vious order of the House. PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS. To accommodate Mr. Cullom, the committee rose, when that gentleman expressed his regret that he should oceupy one moment of the time of the House, at a period, too, when they were about to shake hands and return to their homes. “He had been respectful and kind to all whigs and democrats, and had given no occasion to his colleague for an attack, Mr. Poux here explained, saying he alluded to what Cullom said at the City Hall, when he charged Pierce with cowardice. Mr Corum replicd—He blushed to-day at the conduct ot his colleague. The Srraxen.—The gentleman is out of order. Mr. Connus uy remarks shall be kind. My colleague has sought a kind of notoriety I donot envy. Me has been ringing bimself into every speech delivered here, apd his hand is against every man. Ie assails on the right and onthe left ; and I am astonished at the for- bearance of gentlemen. Mr. Porx (in bis seat)—T taid you are a War, andI say £0 agai Mr. Curtom—I will not assail the gentioman outside of the record, but when he] tramples on my sacrod honor, { will let him know that I hold him and his braggadicio bullying in utter contempt; and, as to Governor Jones, I will'merely repeat, that the charge against him isa libel, and the statement isa vile and infamous slander, I capnot suppose the democracy has put the tleman forward to denounce General Scott as a vain, foolish man, and void of all patriotism and honor. I am not afraid that this will rain Scott's fame. High as my colleague's reputation is, he cannot damage General Scott. r, Pork—I did not say Scott was a coward, but that there is no evidence to show that Pierce was a coward— for, if Pierce was a coward, Scott wasa liar, and others who say #0 are Mare, Mr, Curtom eaid the gontieman has qualified his reseion., heard mo man denounce Pierce as a eid at the mocting aliuded to, I merely referred a historical feet—namely, that Pierco’s horse vinbled and Pierce fainted. [advise my colleague to got come glue, and stick himself to his seat, and maintain his dignity. I think it unfortunate that my colleague “Bang,” “bang,” alluded tothe Mexican war, and that his reference to Santa Anna was wrong, considering tho man’s Te~ lations to the administration it was con- lueted. d.

Mer- we A FLARE UP IN THE TWENTLETIT WARD STATION HOUSE—DIFFERENCE OF OPINION BETWEEN A CAPTAIN OF POLICE AND THE ALDERMA On Monday night, or more correctly speaking. at thiee o'clock on Tuesday morning, Policeman Koome cf the Twenticth ward poligo, arrested a man named Jomes Friary, on a warran®@ssued by Justice Stuart, wherein he stands charged, with one Owen Bradley, with disorderly conduct. 'On the warrant, Captain Hannigan held the prisoner in custody, for the purpose of conveying him before the magistrate in the morning. Shortly after the prisoner's arrest. and detention in the station house, an effort was made by his friends to get him discharged by Alderman Peck, of the Twentieth ward, but the Alderman refused to interfero in the matter, ‘The next thing they did was to get Alderman Dougherty, of the Nineteenth ward, to come to the station house, secompanied by George D, Davis and others. The Alder- man then asked tosee the warrant of arrest, and tho Captain banded it tohim. The prisoner was brought before the Alderman, the Captain eonsenting to the dis- charge on the understanding that the prisoner would ap- rear at 8 o'clock that morning before Justice Stuart. Liefore the prisoner was discharged, Davis took the war- rant from the Alderman, and placed it in the hat of Pat- tick Friary, the brother of the prisoner, Frjary thon went off, faking with him the warrant. The warrant was very soon missed by the Captain, and, suspecting that Friary had it, he despatehed an officer after him. Friary was arrested a short distance from the station house, and in his possession was found the said warrant. The Cap- tain of Police felt quite indignant at the trick played upen him, and forthwith locked up Davis, ag he did also the two Friarys, on a charge of misdemeanor.

Sir :—Permit me to borrow a small space in the columns of your journal, to correct an article therein, headed ‘“ Kobbing a Railroad Conductor.’ The statement given in the Hexavo of August 24th, is defective altogether, The reporter vas probably misinformed, for the conductor did not charge me wit! having taken three dollars from his pocket, but as being “suspected” of having stolen that sum from him. The Tlenann goes on to say, “ that the rogue got three dollars from the pocket’’=no such a charge was made against me, for 1 was only accused of having had my hand seized bold off while it was in the conductor's Por t ine tention here is not to exculpate myself, although I am perfectly innocent, but to ve the erroneous version that the Henan gave of the accusation.

We were thus de- tained by a horrible accident, the particulars of which I will narrate. About seven miles from Sufferns, and half way betweem that place and Paterson,one of the wheels of the looo- motive broke, and precipitated the engine, tender amd’ two cars, filled with men, women and children, dewn = steep embankment. I was in the last car but one of the train, and the fire. intimation that I received of the accident was by two very violent jerks. Upon emerging from the car, I discovered the engine, tender and two cars, which I have described, all lying down the embankment, turned over, all smashed up, an@ broken to pieces. The seats were knocked out of the cars, the windows were stove in, and, in short, the whole were a complete wreck, ‘The engine was turned over, upside down, and nid a& be bottom; on it wasthe tender, and top of that wore the cars. ‘The cries and shrieks of the people inside of these two cars were heart-rending. and thelt crushed and mangled condition was awful to behold. The steam from the em- gine poured into the forward car, and several persons suf- fered severely from realds, Upon inspecting the wreck, one of the firemen was dis- covered completely buried under it. He must have per~ ished instantly. It took fully two hours to dig him out, In the first car one gentleman was found so wedged im amongst the broken parts, that it required two hours time to extricate him. He bore up under the sufferings of his situation admirably. When he was finally got out, to the astonishment of ali, he was found not to be very much ime jured. Whether he had any bones broken or not, I cam- not say. as no medical men Were in attendance Another fireman was very much injured. 1 think he hada leg and arm broken. ife appeared to suffer greatly, Ile was not able to be moved, and was consequently left at a farm house. A en many of the passengers were more or less im- jured by bruises, These bruises were so severe, that wo doubtedly many will be Inid up by them. I should think the height of the embankment, off which the cars ran. about equal to the length of one of the cars. The wheel which broke was found to be a very defeotive casting. full of blow holos, like a honeycomb, The conductor happened to be in the hindermost ear, taking the tickets, and he was not hurt at all. He be haved very well, exerting himself to make us all comfort- able, and to forward us to New York The farmers in the neighborhood were all a Fantg eens their houses. and doing what they cor for us, Of course there were many hair-breadth esca and thore of us who are uninjured, certainly feel devoutly thankful for our preservation.
