DIX AND FOWLER— STAND TAKEN BY SOUTHERN WHIGS—VARIOUS APPOINTMENTS, ETC. i Wasuinaton, April 1—8 P. M. Quite an exciting discussion took place in executive session of the Senate to day, upon the nomination of John A. Dix, which was taken up as test case with regard to the confirmation of free sajlers. The Southern whig Senators were most violent in their opposition. After some hours debate, the nomination was confirmed, by yeas 28, nays 8. Most of the Southern whigs voted in the negative, thus placing their Southern democratic col- leagues who voted in the affirmative ina false position. After the vote on Mr. Dix several nominations of free soilers were confirmed nem con, The position taken by the Southern democrats was, that they could see no pelicy in opposing such appointments in Northern States, and thus drive the democratic free soilers into the ranks of Mr. Seward. All the New York city nominations were alsé con- firmed, Mr. Dickinson’s nomination having been espe- cially well received. The Baltimore nominations, which I sent you yester- day, were confirmed. Also that of W. A. Gorman, as Governor of Minnesota. The following nominations, nearly all of which were sent in this morning, were confirmed to-day :— Mr. Gray, editor of the Plaindealer, postmaster, Cleve- land, Ohio, jue Sey, son of the Secretary of State, purser in is '.

EXCITING TIME IN THE SENATE—ALL THE NEW YORKERS CONFIRMED, AFTER A TIGHT SQUERZR— GEN. PIERCE DETERMINED TO HAVE THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW ENFORCED—MESSRS. MARCY AND CUSHING—LOOK OUT FOR BREAKERS, ETC. Wasntvcroy, April 1—10 P. M. John A. Dix was confirmed by the Senate to-day, as Sub-Treasurer for New York, after a stormy debate of three hours, in which Messrs. Rusk, Soulé, Chase and Sumner took conspicuous parts. The result finally turned upon the question whether or no he had given ina candid and sincere adhesion to the Fugitive Slave law—its constitusionality, expediency, &c. Being vouched for as a worthy member on these points, he was swallowed by the decisive vote of 28 to 8. Tre majority was secured by an assurance from a dis- tinguished Senator that Gen. Dix advocated the re nomi- nation of Gen. Cass for the Presidency in '52. The care with which this nomination was scrutinized by the Senate may operate as an admonition to the cabinet in regard to future nominations, The Premier has now a good excuse for the non-fulfilment of former promises to his free soil friends. John M. Mott, it is said, will be nominated to-morrow as Marshal for the Northern District of New York. This is an out and out hard shell appointment. Samuel Beardsley, of Utica, Inte Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, it is understood, is on the slate for Dis- trict Attorney of the Northern District. This is a nomi- nation of the same grade as that of Charles O’Conor of your city. ‘The President declares his purpose to offer the public stations to the best men, without regard to applicants. If they are not accepted it is not his fault. Ie says his selections for District Attorneys and Marshals shail be Spencer, understood to have been withdrawn. Col. Polk bax peremptorily refased to accept the sur- veyorship of Baltimore. No nontination instead has been heard of. Both the Maryland Senators were absent to day; but other Senators say the Baltimore nominations were all confirmed. Amoug other nominations, "to-day, were J. W. Gray’ Postmaster at Cleveland, Ohio; a relative of Father Ritchie, and a son of Secrotary Marcy, pursers in the navy; also, a Virginian for the secretaryship of Minnesota territory, “and not Mr. Carrigan, of Philadelphia, who was warmly pressed for that office. Itjis thought the principal changes among the subordi- wate clerks in the executive departments will be deferred until the Ist of July, when the new classification of clerks goes into effect. At is also reported that the cabinet have decided to equalize the number of clerks from the differemt States, UNITED STATES SENATE. EXTRA SESSION. Wasninaton, April 8, 1853. ‘THE IMPRISONMENT OF THE AMERICAN CONSUL AT ACAPULCO. Mr. Mason asked leave to withdraw thé papers of Fran- cis W. Rice, American Consul at Acapulco. He said the Committee on Foreign Relations, at the late session, found it impossible to act upon them, together with the com- munication of the President upon the subject. They show great and cruel oppression there exercised by the Mexican authorities. He was treated with indignity and eventually imprisoned, and #0 far a8 information was re- ceived, there has been no redress. The object of the with- drawal is to present the papers to the Executive Depart- ment, with a view to redress. The motion was agreed to. RAILROAD, CANAL AND OTHER BONDS MELD IN KUROPE, ETC, Mr. Bropueap laid on the table » resolution which he will call up shortly, calling on the Secretary of the Trea- sury to furnish, next session, the aggregate amount of federal, State, city, and county railroad, canal, and other stocks and bonds, or other evidences of debt held in Europe and other foreign countries, on June 30, 1853, specifying each description of stock. The Senate went into executive ression. After a session of four hours, the body rose and the Senate adjourned till Monday Excitement In Albany. THE SENATE AND THE GOVERNOR'S APPOINTMENTS —ATTEMPT OF SENATOR OOOLEY TO APRIL POOL HIS PARTY OPPONENTS—TREMENDOUS UPROAR, SYECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Aunany, April 1, 1833. ‘There was great excitement in the Senate, in conse- quence of an attempt to go into executive session. Mr. Vanderbilt was heard again on his constitutional amond- ment, in reply to Pierce and McMurray. When thecom- mitteo rose, Mr. Cooley offered resolution to go into executive session. This was opposed by Mr. Cornell, of the barnburner school, to the perfeet astonishment of the Senate and spectators; but glancing around it was dia: covered that Senators Pierce, Conger, Jones an@ Snow, (democrats) were absent, from sickness. Various questions of order were raised, appeals taken, and disenssiéns entered upon, inorder to stave the resolution off until the hour for taking arecess. Mr. Cornell wanted to close the Senate doors, according to one of the rules; where- upon # motion was made to suspend the rule, which was debated until the hour for taking the recess. Mr. Mc- Murray presided, and reversed his own decision with re- rd to giving the floor to Mr Cooley, rather than that it should be done by the Se As soon as it was known outside what was going on in- the pe ple crowded the lobby and Serate chamber, interest prevailed, the scene being changed, burners now reaisted going into the conside: Governor's nominations, when they had been so anxious for an executive session ever since the first of January. It could not be accounted for upon any rational supposi- tion: but the counting of noses explained the matter. When the Senate again met at four o'clock, a large audience was in attendance, expecting to witness a ro- pewal of the contest: but they were disappointed, for Mr. Cooley moved that the subject of the executive ses- sion be postponed. This was agreed to by common con- sent, and the exciting topic, so interesting to many whigs holding over, and to democrats in expectancy, will not be touched again until Tuesday next. Ww. APPOINTMENT OF POSTMASTERS. Atmany, April 1, 1883. It is stated that John Annable, Exq., has been appoint- ed Postmaster at Hudson, and—— Butolph, Esq., P master of Poughkeepsie. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. . Senate. Arnany, April 1, 1853. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. The Agricultural College bill was referred, to report complete. BILIS REPORTED. Mr, McEcwarn reported the militia code. Mr. Banrimt reported a bill to equalize and regulate the assessment of railway companies, Mr. McMurray reported complete a bill relative to searches in the Clerk’s office, New York. Mr. Monday reported complete the New York Mock Auc- tion bill. Also the bill to make County Clerks aalaried officers. THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMUNT OF MR, VANDERBILT, Being the special order, was then considered in com- mittee. Mr. VANDERBILT (dem.) took the floor in answer to Mr. McMurray. It was time that gentleman defined his posi- tion. He was suspected, and with good cause, of having left the national democrats. If he has not, his recent course is most extraerdinary. Tho districts he ela Vv) represented were commercial ones, but were it not for the mighty West behind them, what would their exhibiti before the nations of the carth be. A proposition look- ing to an improvement of an internal trade comes moat appropriately from a commercial district. The dark and Back monster of taxation, represented in the tax and toll bill, was approaching, and he had sought to protect his friends, and bis neighbors, and the people from it; and it is claimed by the Senators from the Third and Tenth (Merers McMurray avd Pierce)as the decree andedict of the democratic party, that the State officers now in power owe their places to a solemn pledge, given to the people of this State, that they were in favor of animmeiiate enlargement of the Erie canalon the basis of the law of 1861. This, cir- culated far and wide, gave them power, and but for it they would have been overeome. Common honesty re- significant of his unalterable purpose to maintain and enforee the Fugitive Slave law; and that, especially in re gard to the office of District Attorney, he hopes to sorure for the government the services of men of the highest rank in the profession. Messrs. Dickinson and O’Conor are expected in Wash ington to morrow. Their arrival and acceptance is look- ed for with undisguised solicitude by the President, who addressed letters to each of them, earnestly desiring them to take the places. The political horizon of New York is now clear and ra- diant. Secretary Marey, ina military point of view, has ex changed places with General Scott—having, like that distinguished commander, a fire in his front and a fire in his rear. Mr. Dickinson, in the custom‘house, commands the citadel of New York, which contains all the Secretary's magazines of war, while General Cushing, in hot pursult of the preméership, will inevitably force a speedy capitu- lation, Make ready—take aim—fire. By the way, itappears that Goneral Cushing is the only man in the cabinet whoean talk anything besides Eng- lish, At the diplomatic dinner given by M. de Bodiseo on Wednesday, the Attorney General charmed. and sur- prised the distinguished party by his captivating and versatile accomplishments. Like a veritable polyglot, he conversed in French with M. Le Compte de Sartiges, in Spanish with Don Calderon dela Barca, and in Dutch with Baron Testa, spoke German with Baron Von Gevolt, Portuguese with De Figaniere, and the most unexcep- tionab’e Tuscan with the representative of the Two Sici- lies. Alas! the Secretary of State made a sorry figure in tolerable English only. But some people*think he oan ‘+walk Spanish’’—an accomplishment every body has not cultivated, and which it is said Caleb knows how to teach, OBSERVER. —- THE SENATE AND TUK APPOINTMENTS—NEW YORE- ERS IN DOUBT—-NEW NOMINATIONS, ETO. * —- FROM A RRGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Waamnoton, April 1, ss. ‘The Senate were in executive session until half-past 4 o'clock. The delay in the confirmation of Dix and Fow’er, and some say Cochrane, also, had caused intense excitement, and a renewal of the struggle outside, pro and com, and a protracted discussion arose thereon in the enate, Mr. Bright leading of ta opposition, The Mew quired, therefore, that this proposition should have been intreduced; and on this issue he was willing to stand be- fore the people of the State, Common honesty required that the proposition should emanate from a democratic source Mr. V. then proceeded to show the incensistency and unfairness of the Atlas, and those who recognized it as their organ. That paver ought to be good authority with the Senator from the Third, who has just changed his position, as new converts are more ferocious than those who have been long and steadfast in a line of polic Por McMennay (dem.)—It is no authority with me, Mr. Vaypernit then criticised the course of Mr. Me@urray, whore sommerret over to barnburnerism, he alleged, fook place on the 12th of February, 1852, having then asscciated himself with the Senator from the Seventh. (Mr. Conger.) who was of the same brindle stripe, ‘These rew lights, on the 12th of April, 1852, were found sdvocating just what is now denounced as an infringement on the constitution. Cortainly it was very extraordinary to see the Senator from the Third mount the platform which he has, and yet avow himself a hunker He understood that the members of the Canal Beard. elected on their pledge, deny that they signed it, and this, too, when it is said that the very Auditor who is entailed upon the State could not get his office till he had pledged and proclaimed his allegiance to the law of 1851, unconstitutional though it was. Mr V. said he must defend Gov. Seymour from those who sought to traduce the Governor by associating him with the enemies of the enlargement. Somebody bas revamped a pretended report of the canvass speech of Gov. Seymour, in order to suit the mersage. The Buffalo Courter repel Mr. Pieroe’s at- tack on the Governor, and declares, in an emphatic man- ner, that the Governor had avowed himself in favor of an amendment of the constitution to secure the enlargement of the canal. If Gov. Seymour dare speak out he would ray amend the constitution. It is the only feasible mode of procuring the enlargement. They have thrown #0 many barriers around him, that his voice, which was clear and loud before election, smothered with a dark and hazy cloud, filled with all manner of uncleanness. He wished Gov. Seymour bad the opportunity to speak out the eonvictions of his own soul. He (Mr. V.) had taken hig text book from Gov. Seymour In his ieee of March 7, 1844, when Mr. Seymour was in Bai ‘ition to Michael Hoffman, the same principles were down as those for which he (Mr. V.) contended. Mr. Seymour's speech was very able, destroying Mr. Hoffman’s arguments en- tirely, and yet the Senator from the Third, with bis new allies, persists In following Mr. Hoffman.

THE CAYUGA MARSHRS: The pyecial order being the bill providing for the drain- ing of the Cayuga marshes, Mr. Wiizams took the floor, and addressed the Senate at length, in advocacy of the bill. Mr. W. showed that the country in the immediate vicinity of these marshes was deeply prejudiced by their déleterious influences; and by the draining which is pro- pet in this act, a section of this State will be brought into life, and health, and beauty; and instead of thou- sands of acres of miasmic marsit, a rich and fer- tile territory will be opened to tie care and cultiva- tion of tho farmer, and the markets of the great city, and the trade of the canals, enriched by the im- ovement. In the heart of New York a vast marsh is found. Modern engineering at oneo steps forward to re- lieve it, and for the cost, the lands are pledged. The State has placed in its hands, as a security for the loan, this new and science-discovered- country. The Legisla- ture cannot hesitate long in aliewing the people of that fection to escape from the evils under which they have labored. It is a work too noble to be neglected, and he appealed te the Senate not to neglect it.

Mr. Fatans, (dem.) of Dutchess, moyed a suspension of the rules to take up Mr. Forsyth’s resolutions relative to the purity of elections. Carried, by 74 to 17. Mr. Purns, (whig) of Genesee, moved that the resoln- tions be ecommitted, with instructions to strike out the enactingclause. He had heard no arguments in favor of the proposed amendment to the constitution. Our laws are now tufficient for the punishment of any corruption. He did sot believe that there was as much Corruption as is said to have polluted the purity of the elective fran- chise. Ard if so, the proper remedy is the selection of candidaes who will not engage in dishonest practices to secure "otes. This will eifectually purify an election, All cornption must originate in the candidates, and the choice ¢d honorable men for office is the proper remedy, apd theoply effectual one. Until we find that laws al. ready itexistence are insufficient, let us refrain from any attmpt to tinker with the constitution. There is no evidnce before the House of a need to amend the constituion. Mr. brrovens, ind. dem.) of Orleans, was in fa- ver of @oing aii that was possible to ‘secure the purity of our elections, but he onsidered tho Proporé measure one ‘which might be greatly abused and made the instrument of gross injus- tice. Jesigning and uvscrupulous men could make uso of t to cheat the honest elector out of his vote. It would @en an abundant source of corruption, instead of tendiagto restrain bribery at elections.

A great crowd of people collected around the scene of the accident, and somebody vary anxious to ace the flounderings of the unfortunate horse, pushed & little boy into the holo, who was very near being killed. It was with the greatest difficulty that the police of the Eighteenth ward could disperse the assemDlage.

He was immediat taken down to the engine room of the boat, where clothes were taken off and dried; after wisich he was conveyed to his residence in Greenwich stteet. We do not wonder at accidents of this nature, which happem continually on the ferries, when we see the careless man- ner in which adults risk their lives.
