SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, Awany, June 16, 1853, ‘The speotators in the lobby of the Senate were exceed- ingly amused at the opening of the session, after prayers, by witnessing a ecere notin the usual programme, Be- fore the journal of yesterday was approved, Mr. Morgan Tose and presented a communication trom Senator Taber, who is confined by illness at his residence, asking unant- ‘mous consent that his name may be recorded on the jour- Bal of the Senate of yesterday, in the aflirmative upon ‘the resolutions amending the constitution. Mr. Cornell id not object to the allowing the yote to be thus record- 4, but thought the Senator asking it should be present. Wik the same propriety, the Senator (Mr. McMurray) ‘ow travelling in Europe may send a pager, requesting ‘that his vote might be recorded in favor of the resolu- tions. Mr. Cooley would heartily consent to allow the absent Senator to record his vote ia favor of a proposition which he bad opposed from the outset. But he was williag tBat he might be restored to the party from which he had stayed, ns others, like him, had seemed to repent of ‘their late course upon the canal question, Mir. Pierce took the floor, anc said he knew something of the private opinions of the abseat Senator, (Mc. Taber,) who desires his vote to be recorded; aud, from that fact he knew that Mr. T. was opposed to several points now contained in the resolutions. Mr. P. did not object to recerding the vote asked for, but went ou to dis cuss the cansl quertion, the resolutions adopt ed,,and the motives of some of the persous by whore means the compromise was effected. He also alfuded to two or three Senators, continued with consid- erable animation, when Mr. Van Schovuhoven tater posed. ‘Ma, Pierce would not yield the floer. Mr. Wright also questhoned Me. Pierce, but he would not budge. senator Cooley rose and hoped the Senator might be permitted to proceed with his remarks. feveral Ovhec Senatocs rose simulteneourly. Mr. Covley aud Mr, Pierce both telked joud and animated, Mr. President Church rapped with ‘his ivory mallet, ani called to order. Still the loud talk- ing continued. Ali the Senators obeyed the manaa‘e ex- cept Messrs, Pierce acd Covley. Neither would sit down, ‘The President rapped louder and longer, dir, Pearce demanded the floor Mr, Cooley kept talking. The veive of the presiding oilicer was drowned in the * noise aod coatusioa.’”’ Seuator Genuett said, ‘Mr, President, in order to arrest this debate, I shall be obliged to object so recording the vote of senator Tabex'in bisabsence, A pause ensued, when the Lieut.

The laity are generally rather indifferent about it. Mr Champlin concluded his renarks in the House upon the impeschment resolution, when Mr. Daniel B. Taylor took the floor in defence of Commissioner Mather. Alter Mr, Taylor concluded his apeech, Mr. Headee moved the vious quection, so ax ti cut off further debate. The EA faker pro tem, Mr. Sessions, did not recogaise the mo- tion, but gave the floor to Mr. Loomis, who moved to post- pone the subject until tounurrow morning. Mr, Hendee Claimed his right to the floor, but it was nov given him, A toene of excitement and merriment thea occurred. Motione to adjourn were wade and lost, bills were at- tempted to be read o third tine, but the merabers were not disposed to labor any louger. Ia the midst of this interesting scene, Mr. J.

The Chair decided that the request could not be granted, but the letter would go on the journal. ‘THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CASE. The Catholic Church property bill was taken up in Com- mittee.

The Committee then ros Mr. Prerce (dem), moved to amend the report of the committee by striking out Mr. Babcock’s amendment. Mr. Barcock (whig), hoped no such course would be taken.

The hour having arrived, the special order was an- nounced. ‘Mr. Camry, (dem.) of Allegany, resumed the floor, and said he desired to make a correction in the report made of his remarks yesterday, In regard to the Mc- Coughin case. he was made to say that ‘‘if Mr. Mather was found guilty in this eave, the rest (Chureh, Wright aod Cook) were ulso.’’ This the committee did not assert. So far as he was concerned, he was not particular; much s# the reputation of public officers w desired au accurate report of the debate, and hence had voted that the House employ a reporter to take the de- bate in full. Mr. Burrovans, (ind. dem.) of Orleans, calied his at- tention to the language of the commitive’s report, that “they by no meaus intended to exculpate others, (of the Canal Board or Canal Commissioners, ) if the House shail in this case agree with the committee;” and asked if (his ‘was not nearly equivalent. Mr. Cuamptin raid, the committee, while they did not exculpats the rest, brougut no charge against them, No other case was taken up, nor had the committee as- sumed to declare any of the otuers guilty, He then re- sumed his examivation of the specifications agaiast Com- ueiseicner Mather. Reference was made to the canal let- tin submit ing whether there was in them a due ad- mivistration of law. These contracts bad been repudiated by the Senaie, and by this House. The crime hud been cenounced in thunder topes; and he desired to know if after it the criminal was to be shielded. New York hasa miscion to perform. It bad beeu said, that if New York was pure, the Unioa would be pure. This State was to lead the republic, and to confer upon it honor aud glory, or to sink it in degradation. He did not deaand the cordempation of John. Mather. He had not the enmity tbat was charged upon bim, and if he had he could not demand more than bis uial, and if guilty his conviction. Allusion was made in eloquent passages to the existence of other republies, and the lesson this naiion was to learn by their downfal. The people were to look to the tritunal of this House for # maintenance of law, avd ho believed here would be found a drm reliance upor justice. Mr. D. B. Taytor, (Gem.) of New York, had vot ex- pected to follow the gentlemen in this question, but ag no other member bad taken the floor, he felt impelled to give a few reasons that would conirol his vole upon the resolution of impeachment. He would iuake no ce- ference to © Ancient Greece,” but should seek to consider the subject as a candid American citizen, He had sought in vain for tbe proof in the documents adduced, of eny “high crime or misdemeanor,” nor could he fad him guilty cf even the most trivial offence. He thought a wis-quotation of document 71 had been made by the gentiemau from Alleghany, (Mr. Champlia)—a wilful per version. Allusion was inade to the gift of a watch to Goodesli. He claimed that occasion for the gift wav found in services rencered at variou’ times, as un engi neer. There was no greater reason for Mr. Mathers im- peachment than that of the rest of the commissioners. In every case of inquiry into, or of censure upen, the conduct of thove guilty of extravagant expenditure, Mr. Matber’s name was recorded in the aflirmative. He no. ticed the several charges in detail, involving all of the commissioners equally. That of excessive mileage, he contended, was sanctigned by the auditor. That of ne- glect to visit the canals as often as required by law, was ouly sustaiced by the testimony that tue Superiavendent, Mr’ Skinner, cid not see him, He illustrated the nature of this kind of evidence by the story of the Dutch Judges, who acquitted the prisoner, charged with stealing, because three men swore tuvy saw b it, and nine men swore they did not see him do it. He spoke of the Troy ‘dock, a work iu favor of which the people of that ‘place could not speak too strongly, and claimed that could members go and see the work, they would, rather than drive Mr. Af. into retirement, branded with the highest crime kaown to our laws, cause a monument to be erected to perpeta ste bis name and fame. He dwelt at length upon the un- fairne he considered it, of the committee, ia seesing to impeach but one of the Commissioners. IC he was, as cleimed, guilty of causing the several acts of the Soard claimed to be wrong, then should the rest of the Board be impeached for imbecifiry, for if altogether led by Mr. M., they were not fit for the place they held. He did not understend the positions of the gentloman from Alleghany, (Mr, Champlin,) upos this poiot He again alladed to the ‘watch,’ given by Mr. Soraabody to Mr. Somebody, with neither of whom Mr, M. had anythingtodo. He thought it requized great stretch of the imagumation to make ft apply to the case atall. Mr. T, anid he did not appear as an apologist or defender for the Canal Commissioners; he only sought that justice might, be dove; and before ho could give his vote in favor of the resolution, he must be perfectly satisfied that John C. Mather was guilty of the charges alleged against him. Mr. M, should, with hima, have the benefit of every doubt, and he could view with no degree of allowance the ples that would weigh doubts against him, because, forscoth, he was yet to reovive his trial by another court. The committee, in their effort to involve Mr. M., had, it appeared to him, utterly fa:\sd; and he must etiil regard him (Mr, M) ap puro as aay magn urder heaven, ‘ Kecess tod P, M.

CENTREVILLE COURSE, L. I.—TROTTING. Waonmpay, June 15.—trotting match, $2,000(?) mile heats, best three in five, in harness. H. Woodruff named b. m. Flora Temple, F. J. Nodine named b. m. bland Maid. Time, 2:20—2:27—2:39, As was anticipated, the above was the fastest harness race tbat ever took place. Pelham once trotted a heat in 2:28, but he could not repeat, The day was very favorable for specd—not too warm, with a-gentle, refresh- ing breeze from th ocean, and the track in the most per- fect order, which with the superb condition of the nags, combined to ensure @ confirmation of the anticipations of the masses in regard te time, many of whom, in their wagers, marked as low a8 2:23. There was a very large attendance at the course, the number being estimated at four thousand, nine tenths of whom were betters on the race. Highland Maid was the favorite previous to the start at 100 to 60; after the Srst heat at 100 to 40; and before the start for the last heat, 100 to 10 on hor went a begging. Never before was no much money won and lost ona trotting match; aud never before did a race termi- mate s0 unfortunately to @ favorite, Highland Maidhad more speed than Flora, wu could trat away from her in any part of the race; and still, either by the folly of her Ariver, in forcing hor beyond her speed when there was no occasion for it, or by the ruckless driving of Hiram Woedrnif in running his mare juto oollision with the other, friybtening her so aa to break, the backers of Highland Maid were relieved of their finances, and the trotting track doomed to receive another stain on its already much disfigured escutcheon. More than one-half of the persons who witnessed the contest left the course under the impression that it w: jockey race, and that tho driver of Highland Maid broke her up purposely; but this Opinion was prouounced erroneous by others, as he had a great deal of money staked on his mare, as much, pro- bably, as any other individual interested in. the race, They attribute the cause of her defeat to the great anxiety of Mr, Nodine to take the lead on the turn; and after receiving the rap from Hiram, in forcing his mare too much to get clear of him. Had he held her togethor and gone mederately around, as soon ashe struck straight work on the backstretch he could have got away from Flora at his pleasure, won his money, and added to his reputation as a driver. But of these conflicting opinions wo have nothing to say, further than that the race is not always to the swift; and the backers of High- land Maid must console themselves with the hope of better luck next time. On the first hest the nage were started parallel, and for the first hundred yards were head to head, Highland Maid sben hegan to draw gradually away trom Flora, and was a length ahead at the quarter pole, in thirty six and a balf seconds.w.Un the backstretch she opened the apd was @ couple of lengths clear at the half, in 1: both going as prettily ay possible. On the lower turn. Flora made a brush for the lead, and closed quickigg but Highlaud Maid shook her off again, and fed up the home- stretch about a length in front, without the least appa- rent eliort, crossing the score in 2:29.

The Difficulty between the University and the Captain Gen- eral, The zecent reisunderstanding between his Excellen Ws Coptain General Canedo, and the dignitaries of this Roy. @ University, appears to have been much more serious thas ¥ was at drst supposed; and ag we kuow that it is justfrom * sma! matters of this kind tat great events are oftem produced, F shall endeavor to give you the particulars of the quarrel, as nearly as possitle, as they have come to my knowledge. From the tenor of General Canedo’s remarks in’ his in- cerview with the heads of the University, it would appear that his Exce!lency entertained some suspicion that tow mich of the doctrine called “filibusterism’’ was being im- culented into ths minds of the students. In order, there- fore, to discover whether be was correct in his opinion, and to serve other purposes, he caused the removal of o very respestable geatleman, the “Bedal’? of the Usiversity, (@ sort of superior usher, whose duty it is to see that the classes perform their da- ties,) amd appoirted in his stead a person of the name of Careno, who was a crouture of his own, takes from the office of the Politicuh Secretary. Now, the studtnts bad become very much attached to their bedab, aud were very indignant that he should have been turmed? out at the mere will of the Captain General, to make room for Mr. Careno, who soon began to make himwelf’ Gisagreeable; and in the height of their displeasure, theyr (the students) tore down the Coptain-General’s edie’ confirming Careno’s appointment, and fairly drummed: the latter person out of the University. General Canedo having been informed of what had occurred, and, as usual with him, acting with. out reflestion—becauso, after all, the students had be- haved naturally enough in yonting their displeasure, inasmuch as that a man whom they had loved had bees: Gisminved the University witbout aay couse: whatever, except to make room for @ person who-e principal dution: they knew would be to act as @ spy over all they anid and. dove—bis Excellecey, in a high state of excitement, or dexed the Rector aud the entire posse comitatus of the Uni- versity to appear immediately before him. This extras ondirary summons was, of courve, instantly obeyed; but General Canedo, doubtless to demonstrate his anger, bad the bad taste to keep these officers over an hone wait- ing in his aute roow, before they were admitted to hie presenoe. After a long preambre, in which his Excaller Stated that ho had always entortaized the profoundeck respect for men of learning lke themselves, le 1nformed: them that he hed learned with deep regret tha thbusterism was wicely spreading throughout verity, citing os a proof of bis remarks, the receat dis- gracetul occurrence when his edict’ was torn to pleses. and bis protege hooted out of the establishment; that ull this could be attribured only to the pernicious doe- trines which bad got abroad among the students, and that he, th: refore, recommended them (the Rector, &¢.} as a father, to see that rothing of the sort should ocour in future. Some very strong language was made use of by his Excellency asid his threats ot the Moro have had such an intimidating effect, that several of the Profea- scrs have resigced their apyointments and ars about to leave the country. The Rector aud other dignitarion, having denied the accusations brought against the his Exeeleney, that they had done anythiog ever to promote the spiriy of filibusterism among the students, or that even disaffection to the government, to their knowledge at least, existed. amorg the students, they wore, after being agaim cautioned by ME, dismissed, with the exception of the professors, Le Reverend Piuet, Castro, and the Deacon of Laws, Don biego dela Tovie, whom the Coptain General desized to remain with bim, and thee accused the whcle four of them, individually, of being @ll- busteros at heart, informing them, also, that he was avore that they bad beeen occupying themselves in col- lecting money, to serd to the United States, for the pur- pore of arming new expeditions to invade Cuba. ‘These gen Iemen having, however, clearly demonstrated to His Excellency that they ha’ most unjustly bees ea- luroniated, they sever having bron engsged in the pro- i er enemies could have om of the Captain Gene~ ral, were also allowed to depart, with this final obserwa- jen of General Canedo, that “if io future he heard the sliphtest whisper against their names, they would be ded with Indgings ix the Moro, aud that no mercy G be expected frcm him, that he was disposed to be forgiv. ing, but he could also be severe !!""
