For reason it would be best to pass the tax bill, and afterward: to mature the bill imposing tolls. Separate the measures, that the one may be passed now, and give time for reflection on the cther. Mr. Burrovcus—Then we are to vote directly on this ropesition from Herkimer. The question of imposing Tous is an old idea, and nota new one. How these tolls are to be imposed is certainly a dificult subject, but not ble to settle. Dut to have a separate bill, disse- this from the tax bill, would be to destroy it. The wo must be kept together if both are to Herki- mer county had always opposed railroad tol not fail to exhibit that animosity now. Hi: asking the tax bill and toll bill to be severed is to destroy the latter. He called on its friends to keep them fast to- Or Lemons, (whig) of Oswego, desired business to = with less speech making and more of action. The use had perfected a bill in committee, and he now wish- it to be passed toa vote. But it is now proposed to amend by imposing tolls on railroads, discriminating be- tween the various roads Why is this? Why are com- peting roads to be unequally taxed? Equal taxation of ‘operty carried over them was the only true measure. fe trusted there would be no more speech making, Every one has his mind made up, and it is time to vote. Mr. Kuwnepy said shi. di-coxsion was the result of the Jar course of the majority. Instead of calling on us 10 discuss bills, we area second time required to act on resolutions of instruction. This is to stave off action directly on bills. Mr. Loomis said the-course of the gentleman from Or- leans was designed to create jealousies on the floor. He distrusts the honesty of the House. He asked the friends of tolls on railroads not to distrust themselves. In ob- jecting to the separate passage of the generat tax bill, ‘are they fearful they will not be willing to go for a dis: tinct bill to impose railroad tolls? This would be very singular. The general tax bill should pass at once; then let the friends of tolls perfeet their bill for that purpose. Mr. D. B. Tayton, (dem ) of N_ Y., could not believe the House would get out of its dificulty by changing the features of the bill already peréected. ‘It would be best to také up the general tax bill, and pass that as reported, and not embarrass it with this proposition to levy tolls. The Senate would accede to the bill in that shape, &ud we cam aft act upon the Senate bill to impose rail- road tolls. It was legislating backwards to restore these tolls. While they were enforced there were Youd complaints among both producers and con- ‘Mr. Loomm, (dem ol tolls was une! the House. He House, rs yarpose in 2 Bumers, that railroads were taxed to support the canals. These classes cannot understand such legislation, and will not sustain it. If the railroads can do their business, they do not wish to burden the railroads and themselves by supporting other works. The treasury needs $700,000. Among three millions of people it would not be difficult to raise this sum by direct taxation. Should we re-impose railroad tolls, we shall certainly see the law repealed next winter. Let us go on with our bill, and not encumber it with s pro- position which has already been twice voted down. There are some classes who regard direct taxation as the grave of freedom—others think it the morning star of just go- wernment. We cannot please all, and the sincere friends Of the canes should go for the only measure that will afford immediate relief to the canals. Mr. Weer, (Ges) of Jeiferson, understood it to be the dexire to establieh the general 1ax at xeven-tenths of a mill. This would raise ouly $800,000 fer all purposes. We need twice that sum; and what surety have we that after passing this, another bill to raise the balance needet will be passed? There was pone. Leta bill to raise the whole sum be passed and not divide the amount between two bills, one of which may be defeated. If the bill is referred back he desired it to be done with such instructions as would bring us a bill to raise $1,600,000. Mr. Looms said he hoped he would not be distrusted. It was his intention to bring ins bill to levy tolls, that what was needed above the general tax should come from tolls. If such a bill is then repealed, we ean easily add to the amount of the tax Mr. Borrovons said any one holding drafts on the State could cash them at the banks without loss. A de- lay of a few days in perfecting our measures will do them no injury. The Senate bill to impose tolls on railroads has been se far agen that not twenty four hours are meeded to get it ready. The tax would get additional votes by connection with the tolls, while the toll bill would be scarcely debated if it were to be introduced sepa- tely. Mr. Saaw was not willing to enact laws subject to con- ‘ies. The contingency might not oceur. Pass the tax bill as reporied—msking the tax a mill and two- tenths—and if the contingency (railroad tolls) is = te the aid of the treasury, we can reduce the tax ins of a single line. He was in favor of the tdx and the toils, but he would not jeopard the revenue needed by the State, by r ducing the tax, in the expectation that the toll bill would be adopted. Mr. Houxy, (whiz) cf Niagara, was willing to aid the State im the ‘present circumstance. But he could not understand why the proposition of connecting tolls with the general tax bill was more caleulated to emba: rass that measure and delay its passage, than was the propo sition to connect the special tax of’ the banks and rail roads with the geveral tax. Certainly the special tax was odious on this ficor, and wouldfcall out as mach op position te the genera! tax as would the connec'ion of the p= cae it, theugh no complaint of delay was then made. Mr. HAgtincs moved the previous question, which was upon the adoption of the bill as originally reported. The amendment of Mr. Looms (imposing a tax of seven-tenths of a mill and separating the toll question from the general tax) was then lost—22 to 86. ‘The question then reverted to the amendment of Mr. Burroughs, whieh refers the bill back to the committee, with instractions to report a bill imposing railroad tolis in connection with the general tax. Lost, by ayes 34, Baye 77. the question was then upon the adoption of theamena- ment of Mr. Champlin. which substantially incorporates the Senate bill imposing tolls on railrouds with the geue- ral tax law and fi the tax at seven-tenths of a mill. Mr. PW. rere len.) of St. Lawreace, moved toamend by striking out the section of the toll bill having refer- ence to the Ogdensburg and Rouse’s Point Railroad. It be monstrous to levy tolls on that raflroad for the benefit of other interests. “ The road had been built with ‘out the assistance of the State, by individual means, and the owners of the road ought not to pay for the canals. Mr. J. E_ Fly, (dem ) of Broome, moved to strike out the -cction having reference to railroads in the western and northern portions of the State. Mr. CLavr, (whig) of Erie, hoped some of the amend ments would prevail. He was opposed to pets. He woutd put all railroads on an equal footing. They all draw re venue from the canals, and all ought to pay toll for the business they do at the expense of the canals. Mr. JACKSON, (dem.) of Chemung. hoped the southern railrcads would be exempt from tolls. The centre of the State had tures of the State. The southern counties were se cluded from market The New York and Erie Rail road was built that the southern tier of counties might be benefitted. ‘The construction was opposed by those who had Jong had the patronage of the State. And now shall those counties be taxed for the enlargement of the canal, and have their road, and the business they do on it, burdened with tolls? It was built by great energy, and against great difficulties. “It was not threatened with this exaction—it was buil’ with the stipulation that they were to be exémpt from tolls, »nd would not otherwise have had an existence. But the central lic es of railroads were built om other terms, and it was but just to impose tolls on them. A recess was taken till four o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. The motion to strike out the tolls on the Ogdensburg road was lost. The striking out the section imposing tolls on the Erie road was also lost. Mr. Champlin’s motion to insert the Senate toll bill, as introduced by Mr. Pierce, was then adopted. ‘THE NEW ASSESSMENT SILL be in committee.

The agents connected with the road keep a close mouth in relation to the matter, and we find it impossible to gain any infor- mation from them. Mr. Ayres, who is a conductor on the Central Road, is an exception to the above, and he informs us that there are but four persons in all dead—one very young child and its mother, and two men. ‘There were, nine all told, in the car, most of whom were drovers, having charge ef the stock—horses and hogs—aboard the train. The survivors are more or less injured from the scalding’ and steam, the entire contents of the boiler escaping into the car, which was lodged immediately over the engine. The cause of the stoppage of the freight train at that spot was not from went of fuel, but from the bursting of one of the boiler flues,a matter which was beyond con- The accident resulted from the negligence and carelessness of the conductor, Wm.

Lewis Eckhard, of Columbiana, Ohio, had his leg broken; Jonas Haskins, of Palestine, Ohio, scalded; Wm. M’Closkey, of Columbiana, Ghio, scalded, and not expected to recover; Nathan Wilson, of Green county, Pa., Paul Anderson, of Harrisburg, and Charlies King, of Unity, Ohio, ,were also severely scalded. We were unable to obtain the names of the persons killed, but believe they were all emi- grants; the two men were Germans, and the woman and child Irish.

THE ALABAMA COTTON PRESS BURNED—TWENTY THOUSAND BALES OF COTTON DESTROYED—LOSS ESTIMATED AT ONE MILLION DOLLARS. (From the New Orleans Delta, March 3.] About six o'clock in the forenoon of yesterday the fire-bells commenced ringing, and a great blaze lit up the horizon. Our eager firemen immediately rushed up Tchoupitoulas street, and in a short time it was announced that an important cotton Ben was on fire. Hour after hour the significant red glare crimsoned the sky, and it was evident that the fire had some important work on hand, which it was determined to get through with vigorously (and ruthlessly. At the crossing of Tchoupitoulas and Basin streets we found the locale of the conflagration. The scene was horribly sublime. Dante, in his dreams of the “Infeno,” alone saw such a viston of splendid ruin. Before us was a vast wilderness of flame. A Za- hara of fire played ahead. It looked like a vast gulf of horror. We have seen many great conflagrations, but never any which appeared 80 really awful as the debris of this. The streets were strewed with the ashes of innumerable cotton packs, still impreg- nated with sparks, and radiating a fierce, oppresmive heat, which penetrated to the very marrow. In front of the ee were ranged the engines. The gallant firemen toiled without ceasing, mingling their wild and exciting songs with the other terrors of the scene. Every available hand was at work. We never witnessed more devoted labor—more un- telfish exertion. All the people in the neighborhood were awakened. The danger wos exaggerated in the fierce blaze. Furniture was removed—cotton packs hauled away — and on all sides tepror and dismay were visible. The facts of the affair, as far a8 we could learn, aro briefiy as follows : The fire commenced in the Alabama Cotton Press, situated on Schoupitoulas street, near Race street. How it originated is not known, and probably will not be ascertained for some time. The rumors are various. The press ocenpied a whole block, and a large one. extended te St. Thomas street, and ran along Tchoupitoulas street, in front, a very great distance. It burned down the entire building, with the excep- tion of a single angle on the corner of Basin street, where a portion of the machinery was located. Se- veral houses in the vicinity caught fire, and were seriously endangered. The stables belonging to John were reduced to ashes. Seen ee prowl te ecm, Mr” dweph Bou, Wa, we when it fell, buried in the dicted 3 but it one or more persons have been hurt or killed. have not yet, perhaps, realized the full extent of the damage. Sparks flew in all dirtctions, and danger was omnipresent. Several houses were injured, of which we could not take a special note. On the whole, this burning of the Alabama Press was one of the most fearful conflagrations which New Orleans has ever seen. The loas is estimated at from $700,- 000 to $1,000,000, and the entire insurance is $366,000. The House Mutual Company, which loses $150,000, will be able to pay it from its surplus capi- tal. The Crescent says that seven lives were lost ; the Picayune, however, says that none were lost. ‘The News from Southern Africa, (From the Boston Journal, March 9.] ‘We have received files of Cape papers to the 8th. The dispatch from Providence stated that a severe fight had taken place between 6,000 Basutos and 1,000 British troops, in which the latter were successful. We learn from the South African Advertiser that the victory was only gained after a day of hard fighting. The Basutos readie on the Orange civor territory, and have always heretofore been classed among the friendly tribes. The whole affair. says the Advertiser, ‘raise doubts as to the policy of extending British settlements, ruins. We under British authority, so far toward the interior of | Africa, without the constant presence of a sufficient force tosuppert them. British authority in Caffraria—in the extensive districts recently taken into the colony on the Tambookie side, over the whole of the Orange river sove- | reignty—and at Natal, rests entirely on force—on the constant presence or immediate neighborhood, of an overwhelming military force. Native independence re- appears the moment such force is withdrawn.” the course of the Governor in commencing hostilities against Moshesh is condemned by the Adverftser, which saye—‘Personally, Moshosh appears fully to merit {he compliment paid him by the Governor, as a great chief, and one who has the interests of his people at heart.”’ Th efollowing is from,the Cape Town mail of January 4:— Yesterday's post brought te Cape Town an extraordi- nary gazetto, issued by the Governor and High Commis- sioner, in his camp at Platberg. The demand which he had made on Moshesh, of ten thousand cattle and one thousand horses, had been the subject of discussion be- tween His Excellency and the Chief, on the occasion of a visit of the latter to Platberg, on the 15th ult. Moshesh had then urged that peace should be kept, and promised that he would do his best to bring np the fine in time, and the Sovernee had geared him that t¢ Le fuintiea tmis couusuon there would be no wer. ‘The conversation between them is highly interditing, and creditable te both partles—if we can take for granted that Moshesh was sincere in the expression of anxiety that justice should be dono, and peace sustained; and the Governor, in his belief that Moshesh could, if he would, restrain his people, and that robberies had really taken place by them t the extent stated. @ last day of the allowed term—the Governor having previously ccneented that the three daxs should commence from that which followed Moshesh’s visit to him—the Chief sent his son Nehemiah with about thirty. five hundred head of cattle. This the Governor divided amorg Moroko and othora, in part compensation for thefts of which they had complained to him, and partly appropriated also for the use of the forees. No more cattle being forthcoming, the Governor thought it his duty to march toward Thaba Bossigo, Moshesh’s great place, and endeavor—as he had threat- ened in case the fine were wanting—to take the balance, and as much else as he could get, The camp, it would seem, lay between the Caledon river and a mountain called Berea—between them and the plains opposite Thaba Bossigo. According to the details of Colonels Fyre, Napier, and Cloete, the intention was that the first named officer, with his column of five hundred men, should cross the summit of this hill—the second, with about two hundred and fifty, should pass round by ita southern and western base—and absesbee ty ihe northern. With the column, of whose lings 5 e gives an account, were the Governor and staff fell in with large quantities of cattle, and succeeded in striking enemy in his course, capturing at one time about 30,000 cattle. Of these, owing to the smallness of his force, he was unable to secure only about 1.500. Colonel Napier’s force also met with severe fighting, and sustained heavy casualties. It captured about 4,000 cattle, however, and and brought them safely to camp. The duties of the day seem to have been as severe to the troops as on any occasion in the many recent con- testa in Africa. Looking at the extent of the casualities detailed in the several reports, and in his Excellency’s fenezal order, it is impossible to doubt that the officers we by no means exaggerated the difficulties with which their troops bad to contend. Six thousand meunted men, well armed, was an im- mens, and perbaps unexpected, force to find opposed to them, on ground so rugged and dangerous. They passed through their day’s work, however, with great nor; and the Governor has lost no moment in show- ing his readiness to accept terms of peace so soon as they were offered, after his advantages of the day. His an- swer to Moshesh assures the chief of his regret that a collision between them had been necessary, acknow- ledges that the people fought bravely, laments that so maby were killed, and expresses to see the chief again, on the same friendly terms as before the battle. ‘She Governor urges all the commandants, and other burgher officers, to put the inhabitants of the sovereign- ty intoan effcient state of self defence, so as to act all to- ether when necessary, and to retake cattle, should Mos- Besh's people make any aggression of this nature. Hav- ing declared peace, however, with Moshesh, and express- ed his assurance that the chief would henceforth co-ope- rate with him in its preservation, he himself was about to return to the colony, almost immediately, with his army. Too much horior cannot be given to the troops for their exertions during a contest which lasted, it appears, for the entire day, and in which thoy so successfully en- countered a large mass of armed horsemen, many times their number, and succeeded in retaining so large « quan- tity of the cattle they had captured. Capt. Faunce, of the 73d, is named, it will be seen, among the killed, ip general orders; but as Col. Eyre ré porta him only missing, it may be presumed that hopes of his life, however faint, are still entertain Heaven grant that the peace now declared by General Cathcart may be permanent in the sovereignty. Runaway Neoroes ARREsTED.—COLLISION With AxoxitionisTs.—Last Friday Mr. W. Carney and his brother, of Clarke county, Kentucky, suc- ceeded in arresting ten of their slaves, who had es- caped and fled to Indiana. Six of the negroes were caught in the house of a man of the name of Johnson, at Cabin creek, Wayne county, Indiana, two of whom were apprehended and brought back to Ken- tucky. Two others'were wounded, and the other six were lodged in jail. Mr. W. Carney was very bad]: injured during the fracas. At the time of the ai q the negroes alarmed the neighborhood by blowing horns, in order to call a crowd to prevent the arrest of the fugitives; but, after some resistance, Mr. C. succeeded in recovering the ten negroes.— Nashville Whig, March 5.

At 6 AM it was blowing a pretty hard gale from the SE, bark was at the Sime lving ‘to, under close reefed main- topeail on the lar! tack, when a very strange and wild appearance was observed in the horizon. It was im- mediately ordered to take the maintopsail in, but before it was clued up,» tremendous hurrieane burst in upon us, and blew the maintopssil, which was a new one, into shreds; blew away the spanker, and part of a new mainsail out of the gaskets, and for two hours expected every moment the bare masts would go over the tae; at ten AM the wind had abated to an ordinary gale; found that the Go (eoal) rey Set settled over to port, although well sesured with shifting boards in lowe? hold and between decks; Monday, Noy 224, in lat 3658N, lon 6147 W, fell in with’ a Malaga’ eargo, floating around us, such as casks of grapes, lemons, an boxes of raisins; passed a part of a steering wheel, orna- mented with brass stars and diamonds, and other wreck- ed matter, all looking fresh; sent a man aloft to look out for a wreck, and in about an hour discovered one right ahead; when we came within thirty feet of her, found her tobe a berm brig, apparently Eastern built; had been painted black or lead color; could not tell which color was ‘the last, as both showed; black bulwarks and red mould- ing; deck mostly broken up; foremast laying fore and aft; mainmast had fallen over the starboard quarter; sails a1 rigging attached; bowaprit under the bow, hanging by bobstays; stern, including archboard, washed off, so that the name was gone: rudder gone; cabin seemed to have been in a house built into a half H ties Sees topgal- lant forecastle; bulwarks paint white inside; anchors still on the bows with chains bent; had been some time out of port; no doubt she met with her disaster in the hurricane of the 20th.

The following from Capt Winslow. ef the ship Young Pheenix, is extracted from the Nantucket Ioquirer:— On my last voyage in the Pacific ocean I made several important discoveries, which I consider of sufficient in- terest to the commercial world to make public. In July, 1851, I made a dangerous reef in lat 1408, lon 174 50 W; extending from NW to SE, about one mile, and nearly three quarters of # mile broad, on which T got soundings from the boat of four fathoms, where I also diseovered two pointed rocks just below the surface: remained with two boats anchored on the reef about two hours, and caught a lagge number of codfish. This reef is not laid down on any chart that I know ‘Lhe position of Rapid reef, SW of the Fegees, laid down ‘on the chart, is in lat 21.268, long 175 10, which ix or roneous; the true position is lat 2136S, lon 174508, and is s'very Cangerous reef, being in the treak of ships from ee Mili group to New Zealand. ‘The following information | obtained from Capt " an expericaced shipmaster at the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, which may be useful to be kaown:—At the island of Apce (New Hebrides), on the SW, side, there are ams to be procured in abundance fyor the moath of ebruary to the latter part of Augnat; al at Bank’s Sout¥ern Island on the went side.
