SJXECIAL CORESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, Wasurnaton, Jan. 20—7 P. M. Mr. Badger’s nomination still remains suspended, like Mohammed's coffin, but the chances are now that it will be confirmed, whilst some Senators are opposed to it because they wish it to lay over till the next administration. There are some democrats who only object to Mr. Badger because he lives out of the circuit. There is a strong fecling In Congress in favor of the bill to liquidate the debt due to the creditors of Texas, and the vote in the Senate this morning must not, therefore, be taken as a test. A good many voted against taking the bill up, simply because they desire to dispose of the Railroad Bill: Nearly every one who has looked into the subject agrees with Mr. Clay, that the United States are morally bound to pay the Texas debt, ‘or which the revenues from the customs of Texas were specially pledged. This was conceded in priciple in the Com- promise Bill, and the fact that Texas has not seen fit to appropriate any of the five millions they cketed towards ae, her debt, affords no fist reason why the United States should compel the creditors to suffer, when the arrangement was made without the concurrence of the latter, and, in fact, in violation of their wishes, The.whole question now is, shall the United States pay in fulla debt which they have conceded is a just one, or, because they have the power, only pay two-thirds of it ? The decision of the Speaker having been confirmed by the} House, the French Sopilation bill remained where he placed it, in the fou.th class, on the Speak- er’s table. Under this rulingffall the bill passed by the Senate last session, and now on the Speaker's table on their third reading, some two hundred in number must be acted upon before the Spoliation bill will be reached. The Committee on Commerce of the House, are busily engaged in endeavoring to mature the bill “arranging the trade between the British po -end the United States, including the heries. It is understood a difficulty has arisen in congequence of the Southern members of the committee insisting upon the a being thrown open to British vessels, thus abolishing our navigation laws. The Northern members, so far, have refused to e to this. Mr. Sabine’s report on the fishery question is a highly interesting paper. He demonstrates that the headland construction placed npon the treaty of 1818, by the British, is wholly uutenable, even by their own confession. The treaty Mr. Everett and Mr. Crampton have been amusing themselves with, might as well be abandon- ed, as it never will be ratified with the facts now de voloped. Besides, the action of the committee of the House supersedes its necessity. Mr. Polk’s motion to reter the correspondence transmitted to the House to-day, on the subject of the Susan Loud, before ordering’ it to be printed, is generally understood as being intended as a censure of Mr. Fillmore for the indiscreet publication of the Cuban correspondence. In this view the motion is important. e discussion upon it to-morrow will probably bring up the whole subject. X. Y. Z. BUSINESS ON THE SPEAKER'S TABLE—RUMORS OF CORRUPTIONS CONNECTED WITH THE VAPITOL EX- TENSION—NEW ALABAMA SENATORS, ETC. FROM A REGULAR COURESPONDENT. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29, 1953. The House got up the business on the Speaker's table for the first time to-day, and a strong effort was made to reach the French Spoliation bill; but the Speaker's decision that under the rules it be" longs to the ninth clause of business, which was sus- tained by the House, indicates that the bill will not be reached this session. The Houston Investigation Committee are in- quiring into various charges of corruption in the erection of the Cea extension. Rather startling diselosures are anticipated. The Senate devoted another hour to-day in secret session to the nomination of Mr. Badger. Mr. Fitz- patrick, the newly elected Senator from Alabamaa, arrived in the Southern boat this afternoon, and was immediately sent for. He reached the Senate while Mr. Badger’s case was up—was soon in, and took his seat ; but as Mr. Dawson, of Ga., arrived with him, it did not change the state of the vote, and the nomination was again laid over. Washington Irving was in the Senate cham- ber to-day, and attracted the marked attention of Senators. Joseph R. Pomeroy, late third Assistant Engineer in the Navy, died at the Navy Yard on Tuesday. T. Butler King, late Collector at San Francisco, California, arrived this evening, and has taken rooms at Willard’s Hotel. THE LADIES’ REPOSITORY—DEBATE ON THE CANAL QUESTION, ETC. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, Ausany, Jan. 20—84 P.M. The Senate spent most of the day in discussing the bill to incorporate the Ladies’ Repository of the city of New York. (The object isto furnish work for destitute females. The debate was upon the question of a special act, or of passing a genera! law, to allow any number of females to form corporations. Several Senators took partin the discussion, as they gene- rally do when a subject comes up in which ladies’ are interested, especially when a number of siniling faces are in their presence. Mr. Taber, generally grave and serious in all matters, spoke quite jocosely He said he was opposed to passing a general law to allow all the ladies’ of the State to neglect their household duties, and enter upon the business of cor porators. Having the misfortune to be a widower, e should feel unwilling to vote for alaw which would a hans him from showing attention to a lady, through fear of antag some by-law of a corpo- ration. The bill, after this convincing speech, was passed in committee. It grants the Ladies’ Reposi- tory a special charter. The session of the House was mestly consumed in discussing Mr. Cooley's joint resolutions, which pas- sed the Senate almost unanimously, to raise a com- mnittee of the two Houses to present some plan for finishing the canals. Mr. Loomis was quite lengthy infopposition. He declared it as his his believe, that it was the intention of the offer of the [i ada a for a joint committee, to create a basis for king capital. Mr. L. gave, as rumor, that Mr. Cooley’s plan was to borrow, on the credit of the State, ten million of dollars, to be expended on the canal with- in Uy cDihowe hed ho Sg @ tax upon the people to pay the interest annually, and extinguish the capital in eighteen years ; that the whole should be borrowed at once, to create a bank stock fund, to be placed in the hands of Com loners and and that a three-fourths mill tax be levied to pay the debt, to all of which Mr. Loomis was op; In justice to Mr. Cooley, it is proper to state that the above statement attributed is project is entirely incorrect, as he has devised no plan, nor recom- mended any, and only broazet forward the measure for early action. e@ House adjourned without coming to a vote. Mr. Loomis’ appeal to the He gr sible majority to vote —— the resotations and let the matter rest with the canal committees of both houses, will have the effect, as things stand now, to defeat the resolutions.

The Speaker announced the first business to be the question, “Shall the New York Branch Mint bill be re- jected?” Mr. Jones, (dem.) of Tenn., caused to be read a paragraph from the former and last annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury, showing the efficiency of the mint, and that the coinage of last your, gold, silver and copper, amounted to nearly fifty-two and a half millions of dol- lara. Mr. Tvcx enid the mint of Philadelphia had a capacity for coining, at the present time, from year to year, twice the amount that the country could possibly from it. He further ‘the bill, and said he could show conclusively that there was no necessity for the proposed branch, and in such terms that the most ardent friend of New York State or City could not successfully controvert. Mr. Brucas, (whig) of N. Y., said. if the gentleman had made himself familiar with the bill, he would not have attempted to alarm the House by the display of the ex- travagant expense of carrying the bill into operation should it become a law. ‘If he had looked to the ninth section he would. have seen that the measure is not to go into operation until security shall be given, to the sa- tisfaction of the Secretary of the Treasury, that the whole expense of the branch mint shall not exceed $250,000, including site, buildings, machinery, and every- thing connected with the coinage of all gol’ dust which may be received. He would state further that the cor- porate authorities of the city of New York, during the last session of Congress, in the most liberal manner, tendered to the government a site for the location of the proposed Branch Mint. It is true the expense would be large, but New York expects, if the bill shall become a law, to expend large’ sums to carry it out. They do not gsk government to do it. The entire amount they a#& is $250,000. He would call attention to the last section of the bill, which says that when the mint, goes Into Operation, one half of one per cent shall be required of all depositors of gold dust for coinage. Itwould not be exaggeration to estimate the annual coinage of a mint there at forty millions—which yercemt, after deducting expenses, would put into the United States Treasury $120,000. The mint in California will not diminish the receipts of gold dust at New York 5 per cent, and it was believed the coinage there would be applied fo the circulation of that Sta Mr. Sky@our, (dem.) of N. Y., hay it to Mr. Tver, (whig,) of N. H., who remarked that when he was interrupted, before Mr. Briggs took the floor, he was about, saying something of a plan by which much saving might be effected in the conveyance of the gold dust between New York and Phiiadelphia. It was by means of a receiving office to do the business, and this would dispense with the branch mint in New York. The expense would not be more than three or four thousand dollars annually. The gentleman from New York, (Mtr; Driggs.) said. only $250,000 wore asked for. Now he, (Mr. Tuck), would Ungaive whether the bill con tains anything about New York giving a site. Nota %: 1g the floor, yielded word. The substance of all this is commencement, and all history if this should not be sufficient, addi voted rather than the work should be abandoned. Mr. Skymovr, of New York, said he regretted objection was made by Mr. Chandler to the second reading of the bill. It was unusual in its character, and, so faras he knew, had seldom been applied, except when one senti- ment'was really entertained, and with regard to the rest of a vote on which no one could be mistaken. This mea- sure, when before a former Congress, was examined, and Giscussed, and afterwards rejected by a small majority. But since that time other minds have been called to the consideration of it, and the sageselty for the establish. ment of a branch mint in New York has been constantly increasing in its force. He should not follow the examp! of the gentlemen from Pennsylvania, by an allusion to the city he represents, and apply such ‘remarks to Philadel phia as the gentleman had to New York. He should not talk of rapacity, nor should he search the vocabulary of epithets to cull those which, in his estimation, would best express the comparative rapacity of these two rival cities. He should not compare the gentleman's constitu ents with the daughters of the horseleech, who we never satisfied, but constantly cry out, “Give,"—"gi He did not desire to descend to such an arena of contro- veray before an American Congress. It was foreign to his taste, and, if he could judge correctly of the sentiments of the House, foreign to theirs. He should look at this asa na- tional question, and not merely a scramble between two ri val cities, as to which shall get the greatest portion of eom- merce and Carpi Tt was just to his State not to dis- miss this topic without asking gentlemen on this floor to look at the ta t history of the commercial metropolis, and then ray w there was anything on the part of the city or State offNjew York to. justify the remarks of the gentleman from Pennsylvania. Or did the gentleman speak from the promptings of his own bosom? Or, aa the feelings rankling there induce him to stig- matize New York as a collection of horse leeches, and but an extension of Wapping? In the course of his (Mr. ge eg legislative experience, strong in- terests of rival localities have often been presented, but never, never to his knowledge, had he given a vote to advance the interests of any particular locality apart from great national questions. Last session he voted as cheerfully as the gentleman from Pennsylvania himself, for the advancement of particular interests in Vhiladelphia, as forming one of these great commercial centres of the Union in whoxe prosperity we all rejoice, and of whose success we are all proud. The gentleman alluded to the Collins Line, and referred to the fppropri- ation in that connection, as proving an immediat ” dency to advance the commercial interests of New York. But ould put the question to the gentleman,whom he kn Mm Ve patriotic, whether his vote for the Collins lin not given strictly on high national grounds, for the purpose of sustaining our commercial interests against the rivalry of England, backed as it is by the whole force of the British enn ? And he knew, should « similar case arise, and the question of foreign rivalry aguin be presented, he should have the yote the gentleman in half of such a national question. Mr. Cuaxpumm, (whig,) of Pa., (Mr. Seymour yioling the floor.) avked ‘the gentleman to do him the justice to believe that he not refer to that subject as n part of his arguments. A Lop ong on his right, (Mr. Briggs,) put » sneer in his face that for the Collins delegates from Pennsylvania voted ii propristion, and now bis (Mr. Chandler's) pa- triotiem was made an argument against him. He was ytterly astonished at jhis, Whenever a proposition shall be presented from New York, or any other State, of na- tional, not personal or local ‘interest merely, he’ would be found as ready to vote for it as he did for the Collins line appropriation, and do all he could in ita favor. Mr. Seymour reeuning, said—He hoped the gentleman would as Eee! 4 for the New York mint, asa national object, as he did for the Collins steamers. ir. Buices, in reply to Mr. Chandler, said—In my re- marks yesterday, expressing surprise at the vote given by 8 portion of the delegation from insylvania, in favor of the Collins inereased a propeiation, did not mean it in the sense of a ancer, but in commendation of extreme Uberality, considering their past universal hatred and jea- lousy of New York interests, as expressed by them when- ever any question interesting to that city is before the Houee, and more especially the establishment of a mint there. Mr. SkyMouR resumed—The tleman spoke of the fhe ‘had somewhere ool. sentiménts of New York, whicl lected, and which he presumed to know better than the people themselves. ‘The gentleman declared there was very little feeling there on the subject of a mint except during election times, and even then it was cared little about. Now, he (Mr. yymonr) rofessed to know some- thing of the sentiments of that State and city. He had no Wall street interest. He resided further from the city of New York than the gentleman from Philadelphia. He did not believe there were a dozen respectable mer- chants, who understood the commercial interests of the Northern part of the country, who did not coincide in the opinion that 4 mint should be established there. ‘They deem it to be essential for the commerce of the country, and that it should bo located in the great centre of Americai mmerce. New York does not seek to de- prive Philadelphia of the prime mint there. Let it be the chief mint, as it was designed to be. All New York asks is, that the wants of commerce shall not be neglected in that quarter. In conclusion, he earnestly pressed the es- tablishment of a branch mint, showing the necessity for it by various facts and and arguments. ‘the morning hour here expired. 01 ott othe Hi ON THE SPEAKER'S he i n motion of Mr. Housroy, (dem.,)of Ala., it was: Spee “to proceed to the consideration of business on the table. ‘The Speaker laid before the body. the annual financial report of the Secretary of the Treatury, which was refer- to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Mr. Srasix, (whig) of N.C., hoped the motion would not prevail. ‘The conduct of the administration having been arraigned, it was entitled to a hearing. Mr. Pork said it was not his purpose to deny the Presi- dent a hearing. and that a sense of propriety had induced him to make the motion. Mr. STANLY remarked, there had been sharp controversy here about this affair, and cerininly there was no impro- priety in making the document public.

The temperance movements commenced bout two years before he was born, and he felt proud that his father was the first person to commence it. He briefly reviewed the history of temperance reform, and coming down to the subject of the Maine law, he said. “We propose to onact that crime making is eriminal. 1 do not suppose the Maine law will work miracles, but a judicions law—one which constitutional and law rats will not be able to creep out of—will do much to destroy the enormous evils which we have tolament. When society is laboring under great and powerful evils, it is right for rociety to protect itself by penal enactments, He explained the nature of sumptuary laws, and showed that the Maine law is not of that class; that it did not ferbid the use of alcohol in any shape, but merely pro- vided that men shall not traffic in it—clnssing it with gun- powder and poisions. (Here some disturbance occurred on account of a false alarm in regard to the safety of the building, which had been raised by some vicious ‘son. Quiet having been restored, he showed that the opposi- tion of the rumsellers was good evidence of the propriety of the proposed law. Their outcry was not occasioned by the Fear of the law not being executed, but because they knew it would be executed—not at once inthe city of New York, perhaps, but in the course of a few years. The victory in the country would be easy; but where there are large commercial interests there would be a second battle, and every year we would be gaining.

Justice Stuart yesterday issued his warrant for the ar- rest of John Little, J. P. Magle, Dr. Charles Wills, David Blake, Frederick Witteroth, Goorge W. Howell W. H. Mulligan, —— Melloth, and H. Hollenbeck, charged. with being concerned in an alleged fraudulent affair, called the “U. S. Mutual Benofit Association of New York,” located at present over the Pacific Bank, corner of Grand street and Broadway. It seems from the facts, as exhibited before the magis- trate, that the concern above alluded to has been in ope- ration, or in existence, for the last two years past, pur- porting to be incorporated under an act of the ture, passed April, 1848, with a cash capital of },000, established for the insuring of its members inst lose by sickness or accident. e terms, as set forth in their cheular; run from two dollars up to thirteen—that is to say, those members who pay annually two dollars are entitled to $2 per week when sick, those paying $3 per year, the same amount is to be allowed weekly in cases of sick- ness, and so on up to $13. Also, in cases of death, $26. ix allowed for funeral expenses, At the time of the stacting of this association, John Little was President, and J. P. Magte Vice-President, and Dr. Wills, of No. 50 Thirteenth street, David Blake, No. 54 Howard street, and Frederick Witteroth, No. 31 Canal street, comprised the finance committee. The cireular issued by this concern, as an inducement and reference, included the names of Mesers. R. L. & A. Stuart, sugar re- finers, corner of Greenwich and Chambers streets ; Ball, Black & Co., jewelers, in Broadway, and some fifteen other gentlemen and firms ; persons, therefore, who were ap- plied to for the purpose of subscription, on seeing names of respectable merchants and storekeepers, believed that the concern was just and honest, and accordingly paid in their money. Latterly, however, the officers of the establishment have been changed, and George W. Howell is now the President, and H. Hollenbeck, Secretary. The complainants in this matter are Mr. Thomas residing in Eleventh avenue, between Forty third Forty fourth street, and Robert Smith, resi ing at the same place. Both these persons bave made oath before the magistrate that John Little, J. P. Magle, Dr. Wil David Blake, and Frederick Witteroth, others, conspire together, on the 25th of February, 1862, and de- frauded them out of $8 cach, by representations set forth in their circular of reference, purporting to be tures of respectable gentlemen, when, in truth and in ae the names of those gentlemen had been used withoat their permission or consent. At the time the eom- plainants paid their money, and became members, one ir. Millott was acting as agent for the concern, and @. W. Howell was President, and Mr. Hollenbeck, Seeretary. On referring to the gentlemen whose names had been used in the circular, Justice Stuart has received a written communication from Messrs. Stuart, Messrs. Ball, Black & Co., and others, denying the right of this concern to use theiy names on the circular, the same having been done without their knowledge or consent. Officers Bilger and Davies arrested John Little, J. P. Magle, Dr. Wills, and David Blake. They were forthwith conveyed before the magistrate, who detained them im custody for a further investigation. Charge of Passing Counterfeit Bank Bills.—Yesterday, offecr Patterson, of the lower police, arrested & man named Kimball Kidder, on a charge of passing two three collar counterfeit bills om the Carroll County Bank, New Hompshize. The bill is very well, engraved, rather, pale in the impression, and is signed Stephen Beesle, cashier, and Daniel Wrait, president. It seems by the affidavits before the Police Court, that the necused, on Konhey last, made a purchase of some articles from Henry Smith, cor- ner of Grand and Chrystie streets, and in payment there- of gave, amongst other money, @ $3 bill as above des- ‘bed. ' The said bill Mr. Smith exhibited to Mr. Robert K. Potter, of the firm of Bliss, Potter & Co., No. 42 John street, who informed Smith that the bill was a counter- feit. ‘The following day Kidder visited the store of Bliss, Potter & Co., and made a purchase amounting to some six or seven dollars, and, among the money, gave a counter- feit $8 bill precisely the same as the one passed on Mr. Smith, As soon as the fact was known, Mr. Potter made a complaint before Justice Osborn, who issued a warrant for the arrest of Kidder, and the officer conveyed him be- fore the ma strate, who has detained him in custody an- til the case is more fully investigated. Rottery in the Public Street.—On Wednesda; night, about 11 o'clock, Mr. Edward Kerrigan, residing at No. 42 Ham- mersly street, went ingo the porter house situated at the corner of at. and Poe ga and ian freshment. As he entered the hove, four came out; shortly after, on Mr. Kerrigan returning to the street, he saw the same young men skylarking on the sidewalk near the house. The witness spoke to giving them a caution not to hurt one another; all four of these persons then took hold of the witness, in an ap- parently friendly manner, and walked him into Canal street, and wanted him to treat them. fused so, unless they came up to Contre Market place, where he was nequainted, be! declined going, and one of the party then knocked him down, and others kieked him, and th the melée ast ass was hoes of his pocket- book, containing ; a8 soon ag his Pag ge a the four persons ran away and left him. came to the co ee eae and gave informa- tion of the robbery, and deseril ¢ persona the violence.
