It is ascertained that the Gadsden treaty stands a very small chance of being ratified by the Senate. The amend- ments recommended by the President make the treaty even more unpopular than it would be in its original state. Hon. Johf L. Dawson, of Penn., deserves great credit for the manner in which he has fought the Homestead bill through tho House. It is quite probable it may not be as successful in the Senate. Territorial bills—not the Nebraska—will be discussed in the House to-morrow, Wednesday and Thuraday. The Nebraska bill will be reported from the Senate to the House to-morrow, and will then be referred to the Territorial Committee. It is not intended to discuss it this week. Hon. Hiram Walbridge has been obliged to leave for New York on urgent business. JOHN CHARLES GARDNER'S TRIAL—DEATH OF THOS. DEVIN REILLY—DESTRUCTION OF THE POPE'S BLOCK FOR THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT—THE NEBRASKA INDIANS—TELEGRAPHIC CONFEDERATION, ETC. ‘The trial of John Charles Gardner will commence some- time next week—as soon as some minor cases delayed by his brother's trial are disposed of. Mr. Key, the District Attorney, and Mr. Fendall, are appointed sdministrators of Dr. Gardner’s estate. A strong feeling exists here to have the counsel under whose auspices Gardner obtained his award summoned to an investigation. Thomas Devin Reilly, one of the leaders in the Irish troubles of 1848, and well known as 4 literary man, died here suddenly last night of appoplexy. He was thirty years of age. ‘The block of marble sent by the Pope of Rome for the Washington Monument was destroyed last night by some persons unknown, and the fragments of it were left on the bank of the Potomac, ‘The house of W. W. Corcoran, the banker, was set on fire last night and considerably damaged. The Nebraska Indians now here maintain that they have not cheated in telation to the amount of théir pos sessions, and stand to ten millions of acres. The objec’ of their visit is to make # proper treaty with the govern- ment for their lands. ‘The annual Commencement of the National Medical College and the conferring of degrees takes place to-mor row: ‘The American Telegraphic Confederation met here to- ay.

Another amendment proposed by Mr. Hutchinson was pong pending, _ Ls) ‘was to coy @ section Potted e people to vote for oF ‘8 prohibitory liquor law, tt the hext November election, Only. thee Wonatord favored this proposition. Mr. Dickingon offered an amendment making the pro- re landlords holden for any acts of tenants under ¢ law. This was considered so manifestly unjust that even the ultra temperance Senators would not adept it, and it was lost by a strong vote. A large number of propositions to amend were offered and rejected; the bare prs nt determined that no further amendments engrafted on the bill. At near three o’clock the Committee rose, and the bill was reported to the Senate. The motion to to the report of the committee was laid on the table to be taken up to-morrow, when another day will be consumed {n yot- ing upon amendments which were rejected in committee. A majority will be found willing to extend the time to December next, for having it go into effeet. The bill will pass the Senate by Wednesday, at farthest, be sent to the House, and upon application ‘of the previons ques- tion, concurred in by that body. Itis now said that Gover- nor Heymoar will sign the bill, beowuse some of his friend have been so indiscreet as to cirenlate private conversa tions, in which they declared he informed them he woul veto it—and also because the Hamar and Senator Dickin fon declared the same opinion. ‘The House was industrious in a small local way.

A long debate ensued upon the reading of-this letter. The members appeared equally divided as to the expedi- eney of holding it in the Museum, in compliance with Mr. Barnum’s request, or engaging 2 room of thoir own and setting up an exhibition on their own account. Mr. Hoaa thought it would be unadvisable to hold the exhibition at Barnum’s. inaccessable to ladies, who would be expected to conati- tute alarge proportion of the visiters.

Mr. James Gordon Bennett was next proposed, and the nomination approved of with three cheers. Some individual called out the name of Horace Greeley, and it was also accepted. ‘The last named was Francis McLaughlin, and his name completed the com- mittee. An unknown person in the crowd suggested the names | of Henry J. Raymond and George Butler, but they were both rejected. After the appointment of the committee a motion wae made and carried in favor of adjournment. The crowd then quietly dispersed.
