Amesenge was received fiom the House, announcing the death of Mr. Buel. My. Sewarp, (ree soil) of N. ¥., said:—Seareely two weeks ago we arie-ted the debates of the House of Repre- sentatives by a message anuoune'ng the death of a Sena- tor fiou: Vermont. ‘To-day, when we have not reached the subject assigned for discussion, the House of Repre- | se.ta‘ive: appeals to us for condolence in ity bereavement of a delega‘e fiom New York, eo frequent are the moni- tions we ieceive, teaching us that although we are the legislator. of a greui nation, we are noverthelessalso sub- jects of a King who is not of this world, and of whose kingdem there shall be no end. New York has thirty- four Congressional districts, according to the constitution of the preent Congress.’ The seventeenth of these distr'eis includes that part of the valley of the Mo- hawk river which, in tie revolutionary age, was the western border, but which is now the middle region of the State. At anearly -tage in the War of Independence, Ferkimer, a Plebeian Patriot-General, fell in repelling a, Britich force from that beautiful valley; and Montgomery cue of higher connections, gave up his lile in the attempt tu cole the Heights of Abraham, witich were the strong- Lolds of tie invaders. ‘The Continental Congress decreed a movument to the memory of Herk'mer, but the decree yet remuins unexecuted. New York, more just, eraned from the valley of the Mohawk, the political name of T it wore in honor of a Britich Governor, and ing the regions into two counties, bestowed the name of Herkimer upon that one within whose limits he had fallen; and upon the other, the name of the chi rous hero of Quebec. There counties as they now 3 afer many changes, constitute the seventeenth district, ofwhich the deceased, Alexander H. Buel, was the repre- veniutive. In the contest of organic principles wich attendo@ fhe etubli-:mept of the federal con:titation, the jeople of that part of New York followed the sifé Jecd and puidence of Schuyler, Kay, and Hamilton, But when, without a change of party organization, that con- tert way followed by a new one involving the principle of y:Ltical action, that people came cenerally to the udop- tion of the benignant and comprehen-ive policy of Jef- fervon, ond they still adhere to it as it was taught by himself. Nowhere, not ven in that great statesman’s tive commonweulih, are his prineiples more highly ied than in the region whic Ibave mentioned, aud nct only there, but throughout the State of New York. We co, indeed, break into parties and undergo changes of combination, ax the American people do everywhere, but it is only as religious bodies divide and’ recombine, each eect #! i to get nearer to the origi- nal and common stesdaid of faith. New York, fo late as ihe beginmng of the presnt century, had very few con-iderable institutions of learning.

Task pou, as members of the Cemmon Covncil, whether those pervons who com- ylain of the grievances have not a right (o appear before youvandtell you, as well as the moillilary directors, that ip the allowing this dangerous system to continue, you sre in some mensvre accountable for the loss of life that tokes place. Sir, I have, young as lam, witnessed the general course of corporations, as well as that, in yarticular, known by the name of the Hudson River Rail- read Company, and T have seen a continued series of op yressions : and Task you—when I show you the evil that ecmyany oce—to retrain them. I ccme forward, on behalf cf the poor property owners, to ask you to eave then from destruction. Sir, Ihave observed. narrowly, course corporations have pursued, and have seen thent meting out successive injuries, successive wrongs. When enindividval who has been seriously injured has asked them for justice, they have forced that i ual to ap- peel to the legal tribunals to protect his rights, Inno tirgle instance have they been magnanimons or just. Such is the history ofmany corporations. Sir, this Hud- son River Railread Company will perhaps say that it is a public conveysree, and if it be an evil, it is a necessary, and, furthermore, that they are liable for any damages they may do, Now, how comes it that the New Haven tiains etop ot Harlem, and -end their ears into thecity b horsea? As to our endeavoring to make thom liable for the injuries they have done and are doing, they would laigh at us if we attempted the prosecution. They would enfail on us a thousand troubles aud expen es and most likely beat us intheend. I admit that they are liable but ‘that is little consolation, for it isa notorious tact Lat all corporations, without exception, are -oulless and nimous, and therefore little hope can be enter- wilt acquiesce in just demands. Alter seme further strictures on corporatiens in genecal, Mr Stringer concluded by expressing his hopes that in the prerent instance the Common Conncil of New York would ice and execute its duty. Me. Wrrrier next addressed the committee, ani Gepreeating the cour:e taken by the previous spe entered on anew line of argument. He conte: it wasa disgrace to New York to be so fart cities of New England, and other States, in allo which the common ‘sense of those other comm had vetoed. ‘This city was an exeeption to the general excellent rule of obliging railway companies to run their locomotives at diminished apeeds when nearing even vil- loges, and te keep the bells or whistles sounding. As for the chances of compensation, he considered that there were few indeed, for it had lately been ruled by the legal tribonals that where a person contributes to an ac- cident, he alone is to blame. Under any elrexmstances whatscever, every one contributes to an accident, for if they were not present the casualty could not happen to them. In conclusion, he trusted that at the next meeting of the Poard, a rerolution would be come to prohibitin the driving of (be lecomotives at a certain speed, and en- forcing the law relative to the continuous blowing of the whistle, General Srnme again made a few remarks, and was followed by Mr. Kentnicr, who deelared that there much injustice done to the citizens of the F nue, asthere would be to those persons trave way. if an engine were allowed to tear down that therovehfare at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. He made a foreitle contrast to the system now in vogue here by instaneing the regard paid to public opinion in Europe. in regard to railway companies, none of which were tllowed to ren locomotives into the cities, and con- cluded his observatious by remarking that if the kleventh orenue vas made a shooting gallery there would be litile move danger thon is now experienced, Vr. Rommr Attp made a few observations, and was followed by 2 carman, who related how he had his baci: injored by the shafts of his vehicle striking him, through the horse taking fright at the locomotive. Mr. Norvu, on behalf of the railway company, borged that the inquiry might be adjourned, and urged as a rea- son that he thonght the suggestions made that afternoon wight indvee the company to make some satisfactory anangement with the citizens, Afler a short convervation, this request was complied with, and the ecmmittee was adjourned to two o'clock, ‘Thursday afternoon, with the express understanding that the petitioners woula be beard ayain on any new matter which might be brought forward by the railway company Sormker, Jr., said—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of tatis ras almost as City Intelligence.

Howlett and Saul were hanged cn Inst Friday, the Governor haying commuted the sen- tence of Jcbneon to a life imprisonment he was accord- ngly conveyed to the State Frison.
