The leading items of interest in the reports of @e proceedings in Congress yesterday, seem to be @mbodied in the paragraphs announcing the appear- amce of Gen Pierce in each honse, where he was @o0n surrounded by hordes of bangry olfive-seekers, who pressed upon him so closely that he was com- pelled to beat a speedy retreat, in order to avoid suf- fecation. Even members of Congress are said to have forgotten the dignity of their station, and, with the anxious outsiders, rushed pell-meli upon the President elect, as though he were a coin tos ed by seme profligate among a crowd of beggars, to be @crambled for. What a humiliating spectacle! The Senate amended the Army Appropriation bil, by authorizing the President to appoint civil waperintendents of armories, when, in his judgment, it would be couducive to the public interesta. A mixed commission of officers and civilians were di- rected to examiné and report whether civil or mili- tary siperintendents were the best. The bill was otherwise slightly altered, and then passed. Vurious amendments were made to the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill. The mission to China is raised to the full grade, and twenty thousand dollars are sppropriated to defray the expenses of the Turkish manof-war while visiting this city during the | are yet enjoying otiwm cwm dignitate, and are not pera) were the most fatal.

The fo: mer disease swept away twelve p:rsons, and six suff.r.d fom the latter infirmity. The infantile mortality was very large. One bundred and fifices ch dren died in their first | year, and two hundred and twenty-five had not at- tained ten, There was one case from cholera infan” tum. The remaining deat!s were caused by small pox, measles, croup, marasmus, and dropsy in the head. Three died from the irritation of teething. Ap abstract of the places of nativity of the deceased shows that two hundred and seventy-nine were born in the United States, sixty came from Ireland, twen- ty-six from Germany, one from Tarkey, and the re- mainder from other distant countries. ‘The case of the members of the Common Council in contempt, is +till in abeyance. The Aldermen in Eldridge street prison, or any other stoney limits, but for the present, may be seen at their respective | residenves by any of their personal friends and ad- mirers. The Court has deferred their decision as to whether the auswers t the interrogatories, of Alder- man Sturtevant, should commit him or parge bim from the contempt. ‘The Coroner held three inquests yesterday upon the bodies of children, two of whom were barned, and the other scalded to death by accident. Mothers epould be more careful not to leave infants of tender age alove near to fire, with matches, or 80 that they can tilt scalding water or coffee upon thelr persons. Indictment of Two Aldermen by the Grand dary. The romors which have for many months past attacked the character of the Aldermen of New York, have ai length resolved them- selves into a positive and official form. The Grand Jury of the city and county of New York came into the Court of Sessions yesterday, having concluded their term, aud handed to the Recorder & presentment, and an indictment of two of the members of the Common Conncil for flagrant and corrupt mal-practices in the ad- ministration of their duties, and calling upon the Recorder to continue the investigation which the expiration of their term, and the ab- | sence of witnesses, prevented them from com- pleting. The document was read in open court, and excited the most intense interest. as well from the magnitude of the crimes charged } against the city government us from the singu- lar fact that the two Aldermen specially and most directly inculpated, were at that moment presiding in the Court. clothed with judicial authority, as the associates of the Recorder. We present to the public, in our columns this Crystal Palace Exiibition. Seventy thousand dol- | lars were added to the bill forthe purpose of con- | tinuing the survey of the Mexican boundary? The Naval Appropriation bill was again the caus ef considerable commotion in the House. Mr. Stan- ton, of Tennessee, etrenuously endeavored to have eur uaval power placed upon a footing commensurate with the greatness of our country and the enterprise of its people—but the conservative members, the anti-progressivists, were too powerful for Mr. S. The more he endeavored to go ahead, the further back they pulled him. Finally, the bill, in its crude shape, was passed, and the consequence is, that in- stead of building new, swift, and substantial vessels, the government will be compelled to continue repair- img old, decayed, worn-out hulks, at am expense almost equal to their original cost. Among other commonications received by the @enate, was one from Mr. Kennedy, Superintendent | @f the Census, asking for an investigation of the q@arges against him. The House aleo received a Jetter from Mr. Stuart, Secretary of the Interior, ex- | Planatory of the clerkship affair. It will be seen ‘that he admits the truth of Mr. Gentry’s statement, with the exception that the boy, when appointed was only fifteen years of age, and was unable to pe: form all the duties required. On the other hand ‘Mr. Williams deciares that the boy is now sixteen years old, and actually fulfils all the duties of his | post—still, the three hundred dollars are subtracted | from his annual salary. This is altogether a whig q@arrel, and, what is very curious, one that has sprung up just as they are going out of power, and when they have no offices to fight for. As the fair peputation of Old Virginia is somewhat compromised im the matter, we may expect some fun when the sabject is again brought up. By reference to ancther column, the reader will find some interesting information relative to the in- coming administration, the movementa of the politi- | cians in Washington, &c. Although our corres- pondents somewhat vary the classification, it will be geen that they adhere to the names of the gentlemen yesterday pubhshed in connection therewith. President Fillmore has issued a proclamation for ‘an extra seasion of the Senate, to commence at noon em the 4th proximo. Along and not uninteresting debate took place in the Btate Senate yesterday, on the bill for the char- ter of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company. ‘The names of several gentlemen were added to the Mat of corporators; but a motion to reduce the shares from one thousand to one hundred dollars was lost, | by 2 vote of eleven to seventeen. The amendment that five per cent of the ubscription fund should be paid in, also failed, by eleven to seventeen. The votes on these questions will pretty clearly illustrate te the reader the intentions of a majority of Senators With regard to this matter. Be a little careful, gentlemen—this scheme begins to assume the shape of a tremendons shell, without a particle @f mbetance, cither inside or outside—a huge bubble, that will be pricked and explode the moment %& reaches the popular branch of the Legislatare — ‘the branch which is supposed to be thoroughly de mocratic,and to legislate for the benefit of the masse: @f the people. Very little alteration will make the measure popular and palatable—although there may hereafter a difficulty arise as to its consti- tutionality, from the fact that not one foot of the proposed road will be located within the territorial limite of New York. The proceedings in the As- gembly were of but little interest. Our reporters Ihave fornished the most important of the transac. ‘ens in both Houres. It has been officially announced that the mail ser: vice between New Grieans and Vora Cruz ia to go into immediate operttion. This arrangement will ‘place us in the regular poaseasion of a synopsis of the California news, over Col. Ramsey's route through Mexico, several days in atvance of the details by the Isthmus steamers. Apropos—it is about time that some of said steamers were along. We may be able te chronicle the arrival of ine or more of them to- morrow. The whigs of Mansachusetts have selected their delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and the democrats will do the same on Monday. Amongst the whig delegates are the names of fdward Mverett, Rafus Choate, Abbott Lawrence, Wm. Appleton, R.C. Winthrop, and namervus other influent! members @f the party. The mortality report of the City Inspector, made @p for the week which ended last night, thows a Pleasing decrease of sixteen in the number of deswths, ‘when compared with the gro amount which 9c- @arred during the seven days up to the 19th instam Sixty-seven men, eighty-six women, one-hundred and thirty-five boys, and ninety-nine girls—making @ total of three hundred and eighty-seven persons— died in the week just ended. The sanitary state of fhe city is good; there is no epidemic, and the @dinary diseases seem to have prevailed with a intensity. Fifty-nine adults died of con- and forty-foor from various fevers. Of @igcase, the scarlet, typhus, and puer- i E morning, the presentment of the Grand Jury, the reading of which caused the greatest excite- ment in court. and will produce a startling seu- ration throughout the community. li is needless tp comment on this document to-day. We give it to the public, who will judge for iiself of the grave accusations con- tained in it. lt was time that the widely-circu- lated and generally-believed rumors against the honesty of the members of the city govern- ment should assume something like a distinct shape and form, so that. if untrue, those ma- ligned by them might have an opportunity of refuting them. That occasion bas now present- ed itself. and we congratulate the Aldermen on the chance thus afforded them of exculpating themselves before the bar of justice, and of pub- lic opinion. and washing from their characters the foul stains with which loud-tongued calum- ny has aspersed them. * | EMIGRATION TO AND FROM THE Unrtep StatEs.— } One of the not least interesting and important pests of the discovery of gold in Aus- ralia, is the effect which that event is des- | tined to produce on the population of the Uni- ted States. Already there is avery marked and sensible diminution in emigration to this country. as well as @ very active and increas- ing emigration from these Atlantic States to California and Australia. The aggregate of ar- rivals at this port for the first two months of 1853, is considerably less than that of the cor- responding time last year; but we can have, | as yet, nosufficient data to enable ue to ascer- tain the real falling off. Indeed, last year emi- gration to these States may be well supposed to have reached ite climax, and henceforth it promises to become amall by degrees. and beau- tifully less. It does not appear, however, that Europe is | sustaining a less drain of her inbabitants than 4 heretofore. The monarchical and hierarchical in- stitutions of the old continent have not in the least abated their pressure on the people; and the exodus from all quarters. but particularly from Germany and Great Britain, is uninter- rupted and undiminished. From England the rush is greater than was ever known before; but now, it is not to the United States the tide of emigration rolls. but to the newly discovered gold regions of Australia. It is only the poorer classes. and those who have ties of kindred here, who still continue to direct their faces to the United States. While thue—whether for good or for evil—an immense stream of European emigration is diverted from America, the Atlantic States are themselves beginning to feel the exhaustion of the drain which flows from them to the shores of the Pacific. From month te month this efflux is augmenting in volume, and at last complaints are making themselves heard in mercantile and other circles. that many of the most active business young men are being drawn away by the seductive opportunities opened to talent and enterprise in the gold countries. A few weeks since we commented on the fact of the magnitude of emigration from this port to Cali- fornia the various lines of steamers, conveying fortnightly from New York, an average of two thourand persons. To Australia the emigration from this quarter of the country is no lesa re- markable, Our columns contain advertise mente of eight vossela, now receiving passen- gers. Several regular monthly lines of packets have been established, as in the trade with Liverpool; and one of these lines—the Pio- neer—hae already sent out eeven ships, with a large complement of passengers, direct to Port Philip and Sydney. The steamera arc aleo beginning to enter into competition with the railing vessels, and from the great trade springing up between New York and Australia, we may shortly expect to see # regular steam- ehip line established. more profitable than any of thore existing between Europe and the United States. Regarding all these manifestations of change in an expanded sense. we are confident that the rctivity of trade and commerce—so much in- creased by the gold discoveries on the Pacific ehores.—will more than counterbalanze the loss sustained by the diminution of emigration to | theee States. Thue it ia, that in the waye of Providence, “all thinge work together for , good,” AamvaL or Mne. Franklin Pierce arrived in town yesterday afternoon, cn route for Washington. She is at the Astor House. She ie accompanied by the Hon. Charles G. Atherton. ‘Talk on Change. ‘The attendance, yesterday, was rather thinner than usual. The talk turned upon the indictment of the Grand Jury against certain eity Aldermen. Regret was expressed that time was not allewed the Jury to complete their in- vestigations, and it was hoped that the subject would not be dropped by the judicial authorities until the whole should be thoroughly sifted and exposed. Merehants have a deep stake in a wise and proper mu- nicipal government. They are heavily taxed, and It has been a cause of regret that they have not taken a more active interest im elty politics. ‘Trained to practieal pur- suits, and to strict habits of punctuality, they seldum, if ever, fail making good and upright public officers, in proof of which we bave ovly to refer to a long list of re- epectable and efficient city Mayors taken from the mer cantile profession—and itis « pity that more of them could not be found willing to Gill the offices of Aldermen, &e. They also make excellent postmesters, colleotora, &e. A merchant speaking on this very point, yesterday, thought the public interest greatly suffered on account of the exclusion or absence of praetical men from public of- fices. ‘Ae regarts city railroads, merchants are divided. We believe a majority are favorable to them, provided the roads eould be fairly built and made tw yield » proper revenue to the eity. There was some conversation about the eabinet, and the opinion expressed that its composition ax a whole was still in doubt, and would pot probably be made public till the 4th prozime.

' The tire originated in the smoke house, and spread with such amazing rapidity that in a short time it was enveloped in flames, and, at 10 o'clock was totally consumed, with all the stock, | A very large foree of firemen attended, and were it not for their great exertion the neighboring houses would have been also burned. ‘The loss in build ing end stool is estimated at $10,000. Mr. Edwards bas an insurance. Owing to the alarm prevailing, we could not ascertair the exact eause of the fire, Fes, —At 11 o'clock Friday night a fire broke out in the baement of the house No, 36 Pearl street, oecupied by Michael Lundy as @ grocery store, but was promptly ex tinguished by the tire department, who were early on the ground. ‘the fire originated from the bursting of a cam- phene lamp. Thecontents of the store were greatly dam- aged, both by fire and water. The people who lived in the upper part of the house were #o Hightened that they removed all their furniture out on the sidewalk. Tne Chief of Police and a large body of his men were on the ground to preserve order. About 4 o'clock yesterday morning a fire was discovered in the rear basement of house No 100 Waverley place, o¢ cupied by ais Meckers as a seminary for young ladies, but was extinguished before the arrival of the tire dopart- ment, by wcitizen who put it out with a few pails of water. It originated from some clothes which were hung near the stove taking fire. About 1134 o’elock Friday night flames were discovered issuing from the house No. 108 Waverley place, occupied by Solpmon Levy and Mr. Newman, by the’ police of the Fifteenth district, who promptly gave the alarm; but the flames were not extinguished before the roof was completely burned off. The furniture of the house was badly damaged by water. The house is insu- red in the Fquitable Fire Tasurance Co. for $600. Two sad accidents happened at thie fire—Jolin NcKeeller was badly cut inthe fuce bya shutter fallingon him, and Patrick Kelly, a member of a Hook and Ladder Co., was run over by Mook and Ladder, No. 19, and seriously in- | jured.

Secretary of State James Guthrie + Treasury Caleb Cushing . otee +eeee+.Attormey General H. Wasninaron, Feb. 26—8 P.

Neither Mr. Speaker Boyd, or the presiding officar of the Senate, extended to the President elect the common courtesy of inviting him on the floor of their houses. Mr. McClelland takes the Interior Depariment, and Judge Campbell the Post Office. It is matter of regrot that Mr. MeClelland’s services were not retained for the Post Oftice Department—a post requiring the very quali- fieations that gentleman’s Congressional career proved him possessed of. Jefferson Davis was telegra ed last Toesday, to come here. It is now known that just after the election, Mr. Nichol. #on, of Tennessee, was offered a position in the cabinet, and declined it, a nd that the only position ever offered to Mr. Hunter, was the Treasury. The declination of both those gentlemen caused an entire reconstruction, Mr. Marcy then came into play.

DOBBIN, OF NORTH CAROLINA. ‘ashington Correspondence of Richmond Enquirer.) james C. Dobbin, of North Carolina, is to preside over the Navy Department; and, ashe ts one of the young demecracy, he is worthy of a special notice. You met him in the last Democratic National Convention—you heard his fervid, burning, touching eloquence, when dis- content and murmuring prevailed in the convention—his yoice it was which rose above the confusion of a hundred tongues, and brought the thousands there assembled to a death-like silence—he it was, who said that North Carolina had, like Virginia, done her duty toward the great Pennsylvania statesman, James Buchauan—a wan whose great capacities and great services to the country hod won the admiration of all; and yet, having failed to efieet his nomination, like Virginia again, came to cast her honors on a man who had stood up in the Uni States Senate when others quailed, and beat down wish his own strong band ‘and mind the hideous form ot treachery and disunion—one who, too, at the call of his country, marched to defend her against the assaults of a foreign foe—one who, in the battles which followed, dis- played +o much patriotism, courage, and chivalric daring as he had exhibited wisdom, prudence, and foresight in the couneils of the nation—that man was Franklin Pierce of NewHampshire. It is needless to describe the scene which followed, or to speak of the happy effecta which flowed from that well-timed effort—sufiice it to say here, that it was on that ballot that Pierce received the nomi nation by a vote the most complimentary ever given to a candidate for the Presidency. More recently Dobbin was the democratic candidate before the Legislature of hiv good old North State, but was defeated through some strange mancuvering; he has held many public trusty in his native State, and in the new capacity which umor axaigns him, he will d!splay a thorough knowledze of ‘his duties, and’ give the country a nivy worthy of¢ our national greatness and the demands of the /Arcrican republic.
