The Chair laid before the Senate a message from the Presidert on the-subject of Nicaraguan affairs, the same a6 cormunicated tothe House yesterday. Referred, and ordered to be printed: Mr. Rusk, (dem) of Texas, moved to take up the Pacific Railroad bill. Agreedto. The following business then took place by unanimous consent:— Mr. Hunter, (dem.): of Va., reported back the Army ‘Appropriation bill, with amendments. Messrs. Fist and Sswanrp presented a large number of petitions. Mr. Mattory, (dem.}.of Fla., wade several reports on private claims. Mr. Hunter sabmitted'a resolution, direoting the Com- mittee on the Contingont Fund te enquire into and report a scale of fixed componsation for Senate employees, so as to dispense with the usual extra allowance. Agreed to. The bill granting 2 pension to Betsey Norton, a widow over: ninety years old, to continue for life, unless she marry again, was taken up. Mr. Bortaxp, (dem.).of Ark., suggested to strike out tho latter clause, to terminate ber pension if she marry. (Zaughter.) ‘The bill was passed.-without amendment. ‘The bill granting right of way to the Georgetown and Catoctin Railroad Compapy through the District of Colambia, was takem up and passed. Mr. Babcsr, (whig) of N.C.. moved to take up the Mouse bill for the reliof of David Myerle. Mr. Unperwoon, (whig) of Ky., said if the bill was taken up he had voluminous papers to read, showing the wie Baoan, of N. C., said. be a Wi . ©. could not resist {HB objection jin the’ gentleman's aieptaying.a bundle of papers taread, which would oceupy a ortnigl t, and withdrew his motion. Mr. Hatr’s resolution, calling for information whether apy complaints have been received from Mexico of a viola- tion of the eieveath article of the treaty of peace, on ac- count of Indian.axpeditions, was taken up and adopted. Other business was moved, but the unanimous consen was withdrawn, rnd the Senate resumed the considera- | tion of THE PACIVIC RAILROAD BILL, Mr. Tovcry, (dem) of Conn., resumed his remarks against thoee gartions of the bill’ creating a corporation and providing for the construction of a railroad within aState. If these objections were removed, he would vote for the bill. Mr. Dovauas replied and Mr. Tovcry rejoined. Mr. Unperwoop spoke in favor of the bill, and Mossrs. Heyrer and Better opposed it. Mr. Petes, (whig) of Vt., said he did not believe Con- gress had the power to create a corporation within the States. I? the bill passed, it would be a gigantic project, prematurely undertaken, Mr, Varn, (vem.) of Mo., said there are four reasons why J shall vote against this bill. First, because it com. mits Congress (0 the power of the incorporation, a danger- ous anti democratic doctrine. Second, because it com. mits us to a wil system of international improve- ment, denied bygour erced, and dangerous to the wholésome action of the State and federal govern- menis. ‘Third, because it burdens and clogs the incoming admini-tration with a load that it ought not, against its will, to carry. It this bill passes, Gen. Pierce way well ask to be saved from his friends. Fourth, because the whigs are for it, with the evident design ‘of fastening upon us, as I think, their odious principles and their dangerous policy. (Roars of laugh ter. Mr. Geyer, (whig,) of Mo, proposed amendments, con. fining the corporation to the territories, which wore agrecd to. Mr. Weller’s motion to strike out the whole of the tnir- teenth section, incorporating the contractors, was agreed to, by yeas 36, nays 14, as follows:— ‘Yeas—Messrs. Adams, Atchison, Bayard, Borland, Brad- bury, Brodhead, Brooke, Butler,’ Cass, Charlton, Chase, Dawson, De Saussure Dodge of Wisconsin, Dodge of Iowa, Douglas, Downs, Felch, Fitzpatrick, Gwin, U-le, Hamlin.

Badger, Del!, Davis, Jones of Tennessee, Miller, Rusk, ance, Underwood, and Wade. i ended in other particulars, so as to ng conform to this change . GuyEE moved to strike out the provisions granting land to the States to aidin the construction of the road within their limits. Lost, by yeas 16. nays 2 Mr. Bavarp, (dem.) of Del.. moved to str provision making an appropriation of $20,000,000, to be issued in bonds, bearing five per cent interest, and re- decmable in thirly years. He said that last year the Se- nate refused {o yote a money appropriation for the con struction of a ship canal around the Fulls of Ste. Marie, by a vote of J2naysto 20 yeas. He desired to sce whether it was dispored to change that decision now. The mo tion was rejected by yeas 16, nays 30, as follows:— Yeas —Messrs adams, Bay Bradbury, Brodhead Butler, Ch Dawson, Fitzpatrick, Hamlin, Hunter, Norris, Pearce, Phelps Sproance, and Toucey. Navs.—Messra. Atehizon, Bell, Borland, Burke, Cass, Chace, Davis, of Wisconsin, las, Downe, Felch, Fish, Foot, Jones of Towa, Jones of Lennes: by tian, Seward, Shiclds, Smith, Sumner, Underwood, Wade, Walker, and Weller. Mr. Payanp moyed to add to the end of the first section a proviso. that if the President should be of the opinion that it would be more advisable that the details of this road should be acted on by Congress, the whole subject shall be referred to Congress again, Ewithout any other action than finishing the survey and exploration of the route, and this, after debate, was rejected, by yeas 18, nays 02. On motion of Mr. Brit, the bill was amended by providing that if the road should be run_ through’ the lands set apart to any Indian tribe, the President shall nego- tate with said Indians for the right offway through said jand. Mr. Hamuin, (dem.) of Me., moved to amend the bill by providing for the appointment of three commissioners, who, in the place of the President, shall take measures for the constructinn of the road. Lost. Mr. Dk Savesvre, (dem.) of §. C., moved to amend by pent that the eastern terminus of the road shall not north of Meeaphiny Tennessee. ‘This was debated and rejected, by yeas 13, nays 29. Mr. Cass, (dem.) of Mich., spoke ‘in favor of the bill generally, but desired to confine the road to the territo- ries, leaving the States to wake roads to connect with it, for which purpose he would vote to grant them lands. Mr. Donce, (dem.) of Towa, moved to amend the bill by providing that the eastern terminns of the road shall not be south of St. Louis. He said he would yote against the amendment, notwithstanding St. Louis was the near- est place to Iowa. The Senator from South Carolina to- day had endeavored to make this « sectional question, by posing Memphis as a terminus, and the Senator from ohio, on a former day, moved Kanesville, but the efforts to make it a sectional question, whether by the freesoiler or the fire-eater, were unavailing. Mesere. Tin Savescre and Cuase both disclaimed an; ike out the Dodge of lowa, Doug- intention to wake this a sectional question. Their amend- ments were offered in good faith, they believing it to be the duty of Congress to determine the termini of the ron quarter before five o'clock Mr. Burier moved an adjournment. 18, nays 27. A Mr. Donae’s amendment was rejected, by yeas 1, (Mr. Petit,) nays 40, The bill was then reported to the Senate. Mr. Soyix suggested that the bill shoyld be aow Last, by yeas printed, as amended, in order that on Monday Senators m'ght be prepared to vote om it. vr Cuims—"* Vote now,”” * Vote now.’ Mr Sovt# asked whether gentlemen expeete! # yote to night, or intended to force one? If so, they m’ght find that they would not succeed in so doing. Mr BapoER said the friends of the biil ought not now to ; ield after the threat of the Senator from Louisiana. - ir. Rusk said to delay the bill after to-day would be to defeat it Mr. Sours safd hs had imdalged in no threats, for the reason that he never used them. His intentions he kept to himself, and at the proper time acted. He wasa man of action, and not of worda, He objected to being forced to vote now, aftera six hourt session, without an oppor- tunity of knowing exactly the’ shape of the bill. He in tended, and had so notified the'Senato, to move a substi- tute for the bill, which substitute was what was general- y known as the ‘ Whituey bit!,” but from the temper of the Senate, he supposed sucha mation would be futile, He would, therefore, forbear from/ moving it. Mr. Brapuury, (dem.): of Me., expressed himself in or of Whitney's plsm in prefarence to the present fe mendments mactin committoe were all agrved to. weLDs, (dem.) o2 IH., mover to'smend the bill by roviding that no portiow of the money appropriated by this bill “should be expended in the construction of an; road within any State 9’ the Union, and so much of this road ax may Le within the limits of any State, shall be constructe? ender the authority of said State as expressed by the Legislature thereof. He said the propriety and justice oMhis amendment was so well explained by Mr. Cass as to sender debate-uceless. ix Rusk said it would kil? the bill. Mr. Bricirr, (dem.) of Ia., réjotecd that this amend ment had been offered, He would like tose any man professing democratic princi; 4s vote in fe7or of this bill without that amendment. Tt vould embark the foderal government upon a general syotem of internal isaprove- ment, and would land it where “many of the States ofthis Union had been landed, ina state of abject poverty. He desired the constitution to be a thered to, Congress had no right to construct © road within the States, and any attempt to do so would be in ‘violation of the eon- stitution, Principles were his polar star, and them he would follow. He would vpto*money or Tands for a road within the territories, but uct a dollar oranacre in the States.

Tue House went into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union on the CIVIL AND-DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION BILt Mz. Bay1y, (dem.},of Va., from the Committse on For- cigaAffairs, moved to insert in the provision for-salaries of foreign ministers the word “outfit,” stating this was in pursuance of the uniform practice of Congroes, to ena- ble the incoming administration to change oy: ministers abroad if they should see proper. The amendment was adopted. ‘Me, Barty mover. te make Peru a full mission This, he said; was proposed at the earnest recommondation of the present administration. Mr. Everett had written to him a lotter, in which he stated that our intercourse with Peru is becoming exceedingly intoresting—among other questions is that relating to the guano trade, of vast im. portance to agriculture. Since the settlement of Califor- nia, all the governments on the western coast-of America have become objects of increased interest tothe United States. Mr. Hatt, (dem.) of 3fo., opposed the proposition, say- ing all our business with Peru can be, raanaged by a eXarge d'affaires. ? The amendment was adopted, as follows:-‘‘For sal outfit for a minister to Contral America, to. be ac to such one or more of the governments included neme as the President may designate, $18,000. Mr. Bayty said ke would provide for the-travelling ex- enses of the minister from one court to. another, as he as always to go under escort, but he hadno authority. Mr, Hovstox, (dem ) of Aln., asked whethar the gontio- man propored to dispense with the chazgeships in Centra and ited in that v replied that his own idea was, we had better spease with them, for the reasoa that the incoming administration might not agree with the present adminis- to send a full minister; but if a full minister ent, of courre the chargeships will be dispensed He was willing to let the incoming administration with. make its own selestion. ‘The amendment was agreed to. Mr. EAYLY offered an amendmeat creating a chargeship toSwizerland. He eaid this was no mattec of patronage to the present administration, wiich had certainly acted disinterestedly inrecommendiag it. Switzerland is the only important republic on tha Kuropean continent, and we are the only great republic in the world that has no representative there. Besides, it is a country of great interest. and more than a thousand American citizens travel through its territory during the year. In his opinion, no money is spent by this government so well as on the payment of fore'gy diplomatic agents. Mr. Stanton, (dem.) of Tennessee, said that instead of sending thither only a chaxge d'affaires, there ought to bea full minister, It was the only important republic on the continent of Europe, and we ought to show our- selves there in full power. Hethought the Committee on Foreign Affairs ought to make the change. Mr. Ravi said he did not do it because it was not re- commended by the Exceutive, to whom great deference ovght to be paid. ‘Though he was officially opposed to the amendment suggested, he was not personally. The amendment io rend a charge to Switzerland was adopted. Mir. Fayty moved an amendment for a charge d’af. faires io Greece. He said Greece is not only s country of great classic, but of commercial interest. With the exception of the Anglo-Saxons, the Greeks are the best sailors in the world, and at this time their navigation on the Mediterranean is more important than that of any other power, Wehave interosting sclations with that country. Russia, Prussia, and Great Britain have even embasiadors there, and he thought we should at least be nied by a charge. Mr. Sraxty, (whig) of N. C., said he stood for the other amendments, because they were recommended by the administration; but he did not understand that it had recommended a charge to Greece on account of classic associations and good sailors, If it should be necessary to send such a functionary there, let the next adminis- ti is necessary. He wanted further evidence xp, (dem ) of N. Y., moved an amend- went tothe amendment, including the Ionian islands, but aftersome remarks in explanation, withdrew it Wr. BAYLY’s amendment was disagreed to, by ayes $3: nays not counted. Mr. Brooks, (whig) of N. ¥., moyed to strike out the appropriation’ for the charges’ to Nicaragua and Guate- wala, saying, Central America is composed of five States at times, and, Perhaps, now a confederated republic. As we have voted a full mission to Central America, we should leave out these two chargoships. Mr. Payiy expressed his surprise that the with his usual accurate information, should say that there isa central government in Ceptral America. If that Is 40, why are we now represented'at Gyatemala and Nicaragua? Mr. Broons (Interrupting) =I said, ‘at times.”” Mr. Bayty said two of the Central American States are represented here by full ministers. Vir. Brooks withdrew his amendment. Messrs. Stanty and Hunter severally moved amend- ments, which were disagreed to, to the effect that charges @affaires shall not be sent to Nicaragua and Guate- mala should a full minister be sent to Central America. Further debate took place on similar propositions, but nothing in the premises was adopted. Mr, Stanton, of |. Offered an amendment, giving the President the discretion to send a full minister to Switzerland, but it was rejected by—Yoas, 25; nays not counted. An amendment was adopted appropriating $300 for a clerk to the legation at Lendon, and one increasing the talary of the Consul General at Alexandria to $5,000. To mect the increased expense of providing for outfits and salaries of foreign ministers, the appropriation for this purpose was augmented. Mr. Gaytorp, (dem.) of Ohio, offered an amendment, as follows:--'*That the further sum of $2,000 be appropri- ated for the purpose of ervey the President to send a commissioner to the Sandwich Islands, to Cd into ntleman, the expediency of instituting ne; ‘tions for the acqui- sition of said island by the hited Staten, ‘The Carman ruled the amendment out of order.

The Broadway Rallroad Case, SUPERIOR COUBI—SPECIAL TERM. Betore’ Hon, Judge Duer, Fen. 19.—The court’ was s~ densely crowded this morn- ing that the cour ge! were'um.ble to gain admittance at the hour appointed for the appearance sf Alderman Murtevant. The rcombecane so thronged shat the offi- cera were ordered to'close tiie doors, and eonsiderable delay was occasioneg’in consequence of the professional gentlemen being outslid’and unable to get im. In a few miautes after the Judge took his seat, Alderman Sturte- vant, accompanied by bis counsel. entered the court. Judge Duer—I believ>, Mr. Geravd, that youare the on- ly counsel here for the-plaintifis: sve you prepare to go on’. . Mr. Gerard—I have rot: the interrogatories here, sir; ‘but we now move for the eailing-of Mr. Sturtevant. Judge Duer—The Sheriff has retarned as before, thathe has attached Mr. Sturtevatrt, and has let him at large npon giving security. You-now mowe that Mc. Sturte- vant be called. Mr. Gerard—Yes, sir. Ex-Chief Justice Jones—At the ‘est meeting of the Céurt, on Saturday, an appea! waetaken to the order re- cuiring Mr. Sturtevant te argenr upon that day, and ia consequence of that — ir Sturtevant did not an- swer, and go the Court, decming. thet order good, pro- eceded to call him, and issvedan attsehment, returnable this day; and, subsequently-to that pariod, an order had pat heer Me nen caus? ry, that second attachment. should not be disc! , 88 having been improperly is- sued. Trise at this eee to#peakupon that Ae ion. It has never been the intention of Mr: Sturtevant, or any of hia advisers. intentionally aaddeliberotely to violate any order, injunction, or otherwise, of this honorable Court. Mr. Sturtevant and his advisers, until'the dosision lately made by this Court, haveentertained’ honestly and truly ‘the opiaient that the judiciary had net the jurisdiction to interfere with what was conceivedto be the islation of the Common Council of this city; amd it der those views and impressions that the injuncti resume ané supposed by us not to intend to r. Sturté- vant, er any of the Aldermen or Asistent Aldermen, voting upon that question, but w the grant from being carried ou -atill it appeared to us, notwit rable Court, that pet poradventure, Mr. Sturte- is advisers should ultimately be found to have bees correct in their views, it wouldnetbe consistent with justice that he should be punished: for what is now con- sidered as acontempt. At the same timo, however, tt was proper for this Court to vindicate its own digaity; and that we apprehend they have fully done £0 a6-to justify, not only themselros, but the whole world, a8 to the correctness of thoir conduct. It was, however, only with a view1o cave whatever rights Mr. Sturtevant might have in any ulterior examination of this case that, in the first place, an appeal was made * from this order. and in the second: place, an order was obtained from your honor to show cause. Atter what I have said, therefore, I cannot but say tSat, while we desire to do all that isproper, and meat, aad fit to be done, to protect the rights of Mr. Sturtevant, te aré by no means disposed further to-delay or to offer omy impediment to the course which.theCourt will take ap n the present occasion. We fore are not dis- posed, unless the Court should see fit; to. argue upon this metion, but are content to submit tothe decision of the Court without further remark. Mr Sturtevant is now present, in obedience to the attachment last issued, and 3s ready to submit himself to the Court. Judge Duer—I mentioned to tho- counsel, when this objection was last made, that the quostion of appeal had been decided by the Court at genoral term. I have brought down the opinion this morning, and intended to have read it. ‘. Mr. Field—We have no desire to argue the matter Judge Duer—You are to file interrogatories, and the question is: what time shall be given (o answer them, (To Mr. Field.) You do not wisho be considered as withdrawing your motion ¢ Mr. Hieli-No; pit. Judge Duer—I’ have to express mg very great satisfaa- tion that Mr. Sturtevant and his counuel Lave elected to parsue this course. Ex chef Justice Bronson—We have drawn interrogate- ries, which we will file, and serve a copy of them upon the opposite counsel Mr, Sanford—The interrogatories appear to be some- what voluminous, and we have as yet had no opportunity tosee them. As it will tuke somo time to prepare an- swers to them, we desixe that the matter shall stand over until Saturday next. Judge Duer—The opposite counse! should have an op- portunity of secing ihe answers to. these interrogatories fore Satur Mr. Sanford—They shall have them on Thursday. Ex-Chief Justice Bronson—The interrogatories we have filed require nothing move than to Le.answered “ Yes"? or “No.” There are only three or four questions, and they can bo answered in fifteen minutes og well as in ten days. Ex-Chief Justice Jones—But we may require to rome explanations. Judge Duer—The party, by hie answer, may choose to purge himself ef his contempt, and. may assign reasons for the course he bas pursued. Ex-Chief Justice Bronson—I would say, in reference to this matter, that it is now nearly two montis since what re consider a great ontrage upon the administration of just co was committed, and one that has exeiied the at tention, and very naturally might, of the law-loviog por- tion “of the’ community: This ‘matter lias been la: gering along a good while, and there have been no symptoms from any quarier of submitting to the Court—not even since the judgment of the Court. I have every reason to believe that these parties intend to stand out to the last. There are twenty or thirty other persons involved in this matter, and I now to ask for an attachment againstall of them. Imay as well make that motion at this time, because if any- thing is to be done, and if the Court is to be vindicated, it ought to be done at onco. I move for an attachment, against these persons, snd that thay be required to give bail in a sum of $3,500. Judge Ducr—We had better dispose of Mr. Sturtevant’s case first. Ex-Chief Justice Bronson—I wish to have it neade re- turnable in a short time. These persons have had two months time, and yet they have made no advance towards submitting (o the judgment of the Court; and we wish there interrogatories to be answered at a short day. If these proceedings go om as they have been doing, we shall never see the end of them, at least in my day. Judge Duer—The course I shall adopt will be to let Mr. Sturtevant have until next Thursday to reply to the in- terrogatories; and that he shal! on that day give his an- swers to the opposite partics. And as to whether he has been guilty of contempt, I shall refer to the Court at general term on Saturday next. Mr. Field—That meets our approval aatirely. Judge Duer--Mr. Sturtevant has appeared upon his former bond, and I will take his own recognizance in $600 to ap- pear on Saturday nexts Ex-Chief Justice Bronson—I now move that attach. ments be issued against all the other persons. Mr. Sanford—I understood that the motions as to the: other parties were to lay over until that of Alderman Sturtevant had been disposed of. rard—It is disposed of. ndford—No, it is not. Judge Duer—I think the postponement has been long enough. It was in expectation that the other parties migh t choose to come into Court inthe meantime; and as itis evident that all the parties mean to contest the jurisdiction of this Court, and appeal to a higher tri- unal, it seems tome to be pfover that all the. cases should go up to that tribunal ro. Ex-Chief Justice Bronron—At the proper time I will show there is no appeal to the Court of Appeals, or toany other court. Mr. Field—You will show more than you can, (Laugh- er.
