SPRCbAL CORRESPONDENCE OF TK NSW YORK HERALD. Wasiaxertoy, Jan. 17—8 P. M. The vote in the House to-day, upon the motion to take up the ten million resolution, aifords no indicat ion of the feeling of the House on the question. Independent of the fact that many members voted against it because they ‘were desirous of getting at bills in which they felt inte- rested, there are several members who are in favor of the resolution, but deem its introdaction premature at ‘thistime. Itis desirable that the feelings of Gen. Pierce should de ascertained, and this cannot woll be done for some weeks, It is, however, undoubtedly true that the principal reason axsigned for the necessity of such a vote -—namely, to avoid an extra session—would be the very xeasou why ome honorable gentlemen would oppose it. An attempt was made in the House to-day, to suspend the rules—the knowing ones intending, if it carried, to ary and get up the French spoliation bill. It was, how- + ever, a failure. It is amusing to see the efforts of the iobby members to get at that bill. They seem to go upon ‘the idea that there can be no opposition to it, and they already clutch their enormous fees, ranging from over a ‘hundred thousand dollars down. A’ good deal of ignorance Prevails as to the merits of the bill, and it would be well af members would enlighten themselves by reading the speeches of Silas Wright, Thomas H. Benton, Isaac Hill of New Hampshire, and’ other incorruptible statesmen, ‘who have, after full investigation, not only declared the ‘claims valueless, but the assertion that the United States ‘ever recived an equivalent for them a gross fraud. A nketch of these speeches would show the other aide of the ploture from that now presented to Congross by intorest- jee. Ex-fenaior Phelps, of Vermont, will probably be sent to the Senate, to fil the vacamey caused by Mr. Upham's leath. Hon. €alebLyons, M.

Provipexcs, Jan. 17, 1853, The #rovidence Journal has received extracts from a letter addressed to General Jose Pitman, by Captain Slo- cum, who went to Mexico with Dr. Gardiner, to identify ‘the mining property claimed by him, and for which he was awarded the large sum since disputed by tho govern- ment, in which he says that, in crossing the ‘mountains in the interior of Mexico they were fired upon by ten or twelve guerillas, concealed in the chapparal. The volley killed two Mexican servants, and their mules. It was re. turned by Dr. Gardiner’s party, who killed six of tho guerillas. ABBIV AL OF THR GARDINER COMMISSION AT WASH- INGTON—NO MINE FOUND, Wasuixeroy, Jan. 17, 1853. The Commission sent by the select committee of the Senate and the President, conjoiatly, to Mexico, to inves ‘tigate the locale of Dr. Gardiner'y mines, have returned. ‘Their ciicial report has not yet been presented, but they Ao not hesitate to state the results of their trip. They aay that they have been unable to discover any mine, or Any person who knows of Dr. Gardiner’s ever having had @ mine of any description. ‘They repaired to the spot where Gardiner swore his mine was located, and found it to be an inaccessible mountain, up which a cat could scarcely climb. It will be remembered that 8 large item in Gar- «diner’s claim was for a steam enyine, which, at great ex. pense, he said he had carried there.

Mr. BRooxk, (dem.) of Miss., said that, as the Senator disclaimed the amendment, he would move it himself, as he considered it the best proposition yet: presented. 'He ; moved, as a substitute for the bill, ene propouing a con- tract with the Atlantic and.

The House passed the Senate Bill allowing the widow of Geveral Armstrong # pension for life, and the Senate bill allowing arrears of ponsion to the widow of General John McNeil. EQUESTRIAN STATUR OF WASHINGTON. Mr. Dray asked and received unanimous consent of the House to introduce a bill to carry into effect the resolu- tion of Congress, passed A it, 1783, to erect at the capital of the nation » colossal equestrian statue of ‘Washington, and proposed an appropriation of $50,000, the work to be executed by Clark Blills, under the direo- tion of the President of the United States. Mr. Dean, (dem.) of N. Y., wished the resolution to be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. Many Voras—‘‘Move to put it on its passage now.” Mr. Dean had np objections to this. Mr. Jones (dem.) of ‘Tenn., said it would be wholly un- necessary to refer the bill, as gentlemen understand it well now as they would after a committee had examined it. All they hai to do was to suspend the rules, and pass it at once, Vowm—‘Agreed,”’ “agreed.” Several motions of reference wore suggested. Mr. Swratsxe (dem.) of Ohio, said he did not wish the figure of Washington to be clothed in the Roman (oga, but in the Continental uniform. Crrgs—‘Good,”” “good.”’ Bir. Dean, in accordance with the cally around hit, moved the passage of the bill. He said it did not require Washington to be represented in the Koman costume, but merely to carry into eflect the act of Congresa of 1783—neither that it should be exe- cuted by « foreign artist, for we bave one in our midst, the very best—Clark Mills—a man who has achieved in the equipoise of the horse, what has never before been accomplished. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, thought the bill would be im proved if it was amended 0 ax to leave the President the assignment of the position of the statue in the public grounds. Mr. Dean acquiesced, and modified the bill accordingly. Mr. Staxtox, (dem.) of Kentucky, moved an amend- ment, ‘pproprialing $20,000, to purchase from Hiram Towers his allegorical statue of America, and placing it in a suitable position. Objection was made. Mr. Venue, (dem.) of North Carolina, expressed the hope that the bill would not be encumbered with an mendment referring to the work of any other artist. We have an artist—Clark Mills—who has at once stepped from the ground to the highest round in the ladder of fame, achieving one of the most wonderful enterprises. He is not yet thirty years ofage. He went from New York to the South.” A friend there discovered he had genius. For the last few years he has struggled with many difficulties, but at last overcame them all. It is due that Mills should stand alono in this bill, as he is the first artist in the world that has made a statue of the purest man ever known, Mr. DEAN said the resolution of the Congress of 1788 had unanimously as the report of a committee, every State then in the Union being represented. The worl was ut that time suspended merely because of the want of funds. But now that we have an artist in our midst who produced the equestrian statue of Jackson with such general satisfaction, there should be no longer delay in carrying that resolution into effect. Mr. STEPuENS, (whig) of Ga., thought it would be better not to pass the bill hastily, but refer it to a select com mittee, with power to report at any time. He would pre “fer tosend it to a committee of thirty-one members, that all the States in the Union might have a yoice in the sub ject. "Vir. Deas, in view of tne few weeks only remaining of the session, moved the previous question, in accordance with the request of several gentlemen. ‘The resolution of 1783 was read. It Pty sed that the statue should be of bronze, representing Washington in the Roman costume, upholding a truncheon in his right hand, and bis head encircled with a laurel wreath ; the hase of the statue to represent scenes in the principal battles in which Washington took part, and the work to be executed by a French artist. Mr. Breckkyrrpor, (dem.,) of Ky.—The bill of the gentleman from New York, (Mr. Dean,) contemplated the plan of 1783, but the American people will never consent that Washington shall bo represented in Roman costume, but in the old time continentals. Voice—‘ You're right.” Mr. Dean did not intend that Washington shall be thus represented, and he amended the bill to read that $40,000 be appropriated to enable the President of the United States to employ Clark Mills to erect the statue at the City of Warhingion, at such place on the public grounds in said city as shall be designated by the President. The demand for the previous question was sustained, and under its operation the bill was passed. ‘THR UNITED STATES STRAMSEIPS.

TID: CANAL QUESTION—*PEECH OF MR. BURROUGHS IN OPPOSI- TION TO GOVERNOR SHYMOUR'S MESSAGE. Mr. Burrovaus (ind. dem.), of Orleans, took the floor and concluded his xpeceh, commenced last Friday, rela tive to the Governor's message and the Canal question. He said the Governor referre:| the attention of the Legis: lature to the price of agricultural produce and labor. 1 was the first time that the Executive bad ever com- Ploined thet the prices of labor and produce were too high. ‘That part of the message referring to the expendi tres of the State, was one deprecating high prices—this was an apology for failing to recommend the completion of the canal enlargement; ' Are prices (00 high? Must we be earefnl about expenditures, when wheat is worth one dollar # bushel and labor seventy-five cents per day’ The interests of the State are not promoted by such economy. ‘Ihe spirit was like that of those who opposed the original construction of the canal—n dolorous fear of debt. He ange in the constitution in regard to the jal afiairs of the State. The reason which impelled this change was the decree that had gone forth to make a change in the canal policy of the State. This decree was inimical to the canal, The people of the West would remember that they had cheerfully submitted to burdens to build the canal, in 1817. In 1846, ¥12,000,000 had been expenfd on the enlarge: ment, the new policy was adopted, and it was deter mined that the enlargement must not goon. An atiempt was made to prove that the canals had not yielded re yenue to the State—that they were a burden. The con- sideration was overlooked that the camals had increased wealth of the State and country by facilitating com- merce and enabling the west to send her prod ice to tide water. M ‘Oughs denied that the canals were dobied to the State in 1846, It was ridiculous to make echarge. Your Chenango, Génesee, and Black River enced on the eredit of the State, or on trie canal. These canals, when the revenue frei them was not great enough to reimburse the State, were made a charge upon the Erie canal. Was such harge fair in proving that the Krie canal bad been um profitable? He sald the aggregate aum levied upon the rie canal for the construction of other works of improve over $7,000,000; and thus was attempted to jluusibility to the statement that the canal had not paid for itvelf. ” If the recommendation made by Governor Marey to support the banks by loaning them $10,000,000 on the credit of the canal revenue bad been carried, I suppose that would also have been » show the canal to have been unprofitable. eet of the enlargement of the canal should have been left an open question by the convention which re- vised the constitution; permission to borrow money for the com; Sotion of the canal should bave been given to the State. Ho read from # memorial, prepared at a public meeting at Rochester, protesting against any constitu tional obstruction to the enlargement of the canal. That memorial was prophetic of what effect such restriction would have upon the canal; the restriction had been dis- astrous, by pissy the enlargement. We have now the proposition not to enlarge, but to improve the canals. Old attempts to cripple the canal policy of the State were not only again trumped up, but new objections were urged. It ha en determined to so overburden and weigh down the canal policy, as to defeat the progress of the enlarge- ment. In 1846 the Governor was in the Legislature, aud it was proposed to borrow & few hundred thousand dollars to completo certain portions of the enlargement, and its most active supporter wes Mr. Seymoar,—yet, notwith- standing these antecedeuts of the Governor, we find him combating the policy which he advocated’a few years ago. Itwas in pursuance of the enmity to the canals, de- veloped by the convention in 1846, that the present mes- sage had been . Good economy and pradence ‘would justify the postponement of the payment of canal debts, that the canal revenue might be used tocomplate In the hid peck Png has ean te it is believed that the amendments respect the rement of the canals were inimical to the work, and they would think so until those who urged the amendmonts should prove themselves friends of the enlargement. Rvery in- crease of six inches to the draft of canal boats, says the Governor, adds about five tons tothe burthen of the boat; so we are to go in for this six inch system—this deepon- ing the canal six inches each r we had had a six Inch Governor in 1617, ag it ‘8 recommenda- tion for ns channel at first admitting the of ‘by clx inch onleremants, finally to af- Hants holgg a nether of @hiete tome canoes, ard then, -= ern end of the canal had increased its eapacity, bat there were portions of it no larger than they were in 1825. These portions should be enlarged. ‘The increased capa. city of canals has been aided by modern improvements in boat building. The Governor does not compute the time when he expects the canal to be fully improved; we are left in doubt about that. He then adverted to what the meseage denominated “the unfortunate legislation of 1861,’ which reduced the canal tolls and removed tho tolls on railreads. There are passages in the mos: where the Governor actually says—‘‘I recommend.” Yes, he even ventured upon that ‘strong language, He had'a constitutional right to say that, and he has done but inregard to measures for the ‘enlargement of the al, the Governor has made no recommendation. The wernor was in favor of the legislation which he now “Objections are made," tem, G denominates “‘unfortunate.”’ says the Governor, ‘‘to any change in the financial sy for fear that improper debt may be incurred.” He ix very careful to-conform his message to the views of those whose opinions he has lately adopte Any one must know that people would not consent to ad- ditional taxation. The northern and southern counties would oppose taxation to improve the canals. The friends of the railroads were determined to kill the canals. He 4id not know but the Governor hg 7 be interested in pre- sent and projected railroads. For several years there have been growing feelings in favor of railroads, and against Tani It was the duty of the Governor to adyo- cate the interests of the State canals. He (Mtr. Bur- roughs) noticed that laws could not now be passed with- out the consent of railroads. This gigantic interest en- dangered the welfare of the State. le was willing that railroads should come in competition with the canals after their enlargement. ir. Burroughs gave way, and the committee rose and reported progresa. THE GOVERNORS OF THE NEW YORK ALMS HOUSE—INFORMATION: WANTED AS ‘TO CHARGES OF CORRUPTION, ETC.

A WOMAN MURDERED LY HEK HUSBAND —aRREAT OF THE ACCUSED BY THK POLIO“. We have to record another scene of blood and horror, perpetrated yesterday morning, in the Third avenue. A man named Patrick Fitygerald, keeper of » small gro- cery store at No. 488 Thirt avenue, near 'Thirty-sixth street, shot his wife Margare! through thy hoad with a pistol, causing immediate death. ‘The facta in this melancholy tragedy, as near #4 could be ascertained prier to the Coroner's inquest, are as follows :—The Fighteenth ward police have been much annoyed of late by the dis orderly conduct of Fitygerald, who frequently bocame intoxicated, and would then beat and abuse his wife, for which offence he hasbeen arrested and punished. On Saturday night, a quarre} ensued between Fitagerall and his wife, which compelled hor to leave the house aitd take refuge with some of tho neighbors. She remained ab- sent from the premises until Monday morning, about tem o'clock, when she returned to the store. Ax oon a4 she entered, Fitzgerald bolted the door, and in the back off from the store, a quarrel and fight onaued between them; the persons in the adjoining room heard the und heard her cry out‘‘Murder,” and soon at oh pal was discharged, and then all was quiet. Mi Dolan, residing next door, was attracted to the room the discharge of the pistol, and finding the door fastened; he broke it open, pod oo entoring the apartment he be. held the dead, body of the wife, lying by the freplaas, across two pails; the blood was flowing freely from the fatal wound, the ball having passed through the cheek bone, immediately below the eye, and in head. Mr. Dolan exclaimed, “What have you done te your wife?’ Fitzgerald replied, ‘There she lies, dew.” ‘You have killed her,”’ said Dolan, “and you'll be buag for it.’’ “So much the better,”” led Fitzgerald; ‘‘them there will be an end to both of us." ‘The room bore the appearance of much disorder—tum- blers broken, chairs upset, together with the blood of hia victim dashed about the mantel-piece and other parts ef the room, all tending to show that a deadly str; had taken place. Mr. Dolan and one or two other citizens ar- rested Fitzgerald, and conveyed him to the hteeath ward police station, in Twenty-ninth street. ant Captain Flandreau took charge of the murderer, and em searching his person a double barrelled brass pistol was found in hiy pocket. One barrel was disc and the other loaded. Tho captain asked him how the matter ee- curred, when he made the following statement:— “My' wife Margaret is a drinking woman, and my furuiture almost daily. ‘this morning she took pistol and threatened to shoot herself. I attempted te take 1t away from her, when it went off. I do met know whether she is shot or not. Michael Dolan came in, and @ man named Smith, and took me out. I loaded the pistol about two weeks ago, and was in the habit of keeping it on the mantel-pivce, at the head of the ved, where my wife took it from.’ The captain of police secured lim in a cell, to await the coroner's inquest. ‘The a seom, is @ native of Ireland, about forty-five audi said to be from Albany. It is said ome years in the Gansevoort family, ‘a piece of land, which she cultivatedy and some $2,000 by the sale of the produce. Om al in this city Fitzgerald became eo spent the money, and now bas perpetrated the crime murder, which in all probability will terminate his earth- ly career on the gallows. Coroner Hilton will commence to hold the inquest this forenoon, at the Eighteenth ward station house, in Twert ty-ninth 'strect. Fitzgerald is a native of Ireland, and about fifty years of age.
