HE CUITING AND BRECKENKIDGE DIFFIOULTY—nz- PORTED CHALLENGE, ETC. Wasainxcton, March 28, 1854. The rumors last night of a probable hostile mecting ‘between Messrs. Cutting and Breckenridge have assumed amore definite shape to-day. Breckenridge was not in the House all the day, a circumstance which excited con siderable apprehension among the peace-makers. But as Cutting was in his seat as usual, it was thought that matters might still be in train for an amicable settlement. Some mombcrs had been certainly exerting themselves ‘to that end. It is rumored, however, this evening, that Cutting challenged Breckenridge last night, and that at four o’clock this afternoon an acceptance of the challenge was received by Cutting, through his friend Col. Monroe, of New York; 8 Mr. Hawkins, of Kentucky, being the friend of Breckenridge. - If this is so, the affair will proba- bly come off early to-morrow morning at the bloody ground of Bladensburg,near the line between this District and the ‘State of Maryland. Southern gentlemen appear to think that Cutting will not fight; but the New York ‘hards’’ eay that be will prove, in their behalf, that they are not to be trampled upon by the South, at the instigation of the Cabinet. Messrs. Wheeler, Maurice, and the rest, eay that {he day has gone by for such things. P. S.—it is reported that Breckenridge left this after- noon for Kentucky, having made arrangements to leave esterday, on account of sickness in his family. THE BLACK WARRIOR APFAIR—MR. SOULE, THE AD- MINISTRATION, AND THE FOREIGN AMBASSADORS. ‘The President fully expects that Mr. Soulé will return to the United States with the answer of the Spanish government, which will doubtless be unsatisfactory. The | British and French ministers here are unceasing in their endeavors to interfere in the matter. Mr. Marcy, how- ever, refuses to speak to them upon the subject. They lay their complaints daily before poor Mr. Mann, the Assistant Secretary. HE GADSDEN TREATY AND SANTA ANNA'S TRICKS— SENATORS OPENING THEIR EYES. The ‘Gadsden treaty is in a bad way. Yesterday Mr. Butler, of South Carolina, and Mr. Clayton, called the at- tention of the Senate, in executive session, to the rumors <-which were in circulation as to improper influences being Drought fo bear by the emissaries of Santa Anna and by parties here, to bring about a ratification of the treaty. ‘The Prosident was called upon for information, anda committee was appointed to investigate the charges. ‘The Union this morning bas an article in favor of the treaty and puffing Santa Anna, but this will scarcely strengthen the matter. General Rusk, of Texas, spoke in executive session to- day in support of the Gadsden treaty, but it is under-- stood that the excitement increases among Senators con- cerning the outside stock jobbing influences concerned in concocting the treaty. MR. LYON’S SPEECH IN BEHALF OF THE NAVY. Mr. Caleb Lyon’s speech to-day, in favor of twelve new frigates with auxiliary steam power, Was at once classic and practical. It is to be hoped the amendment will carried and Mr. Lyons’ unanswerable arguments have proper weight. : RETALIATORY SYMPTOMS PROM THE SOUTH. ‘We have good reason to believe that in return for the violent denunciation of the South by the whigs and aboli- tionists of New England, a movement is making through- out the Southern States to ascertain what Northern manufacturers favor the union of whigs and abolitionists. Something is on foot, you may depend upon it, which evil have the effect of materially changing the tariff. A DIFFICULTY SETTLED.

Mr. Brovean, (dem.) of Pa., from the select com- mittee appointed at the last session to investigate the claims presented to the Board of Commissioners on Claims under the Mexican treaty, asked leave to make a report. He said that after the basis of the report was agreed na on, the Chairman (Mr. Soulé) left on a foreign mission, without making the report. The remaining members of the committee now made the roport then agreed upon; ‘and he moved that it and the accompanying papers be printed.

Mr. Srantox, (dem.) of Ky., introduced a bill author- izing the recovery of the assets of a bankrupt, which have been concealed or not specified in the schedule rendered by him. Referred to the Judiciary Committes. THE REVENUE LAWS. ‘The House passed a resolution appropriating five thou- ‘Sand dollars to defray the expenses of codifying and re- vining the revenue laws. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on ‘THE GENERAL APPROPRIATION BIL. Mr. Yarws, (whig) of Ill, said the most prominent ‘champion of the Nebraska bill in the Senate, and the Jeader of the column of its friends in the House, being from Illinois, it might not be improper for him, coming from the same State, to raise his voice against the men- sure. One of the glorious traits of the Northwest was | the enjoyment, to an almost inappreciable extent, of the bligtings proposed to be repealed by this bill.

He insisted this bill did not give the people of the Terri- tories the right to govern themselves, for it appointed all the officers and reserved the Signs to judge of every act by the Territorial Legislature. in reply to Mr. ing, he said, if Mr. Clay were here in all his magnifi- cent proportions of manly form, and clothed in the panopy of matchless eloquence, he would rebuke this attempt to repee! the sacred Missouri compact. He further opposed the bill. THE BILL TO STRENGTHEN THE NAVY. | The general appropriation bill was tail saide, and the Committee proceeded to the consideration of the special order, which was the bill authorizing the construction of six first class ateam frigates with screw ropallern, | rO- | perly armed and equipped, and for alteriag’ completing and launching the frigates Santee and Sabine, appro- priating three millions of dollars for those p ' Mr. , (dem.) of Va., took the floor, and assigned many reasons my the bill ert to be passed prompt- ly. It provided that vesselx should be construct- ed either at the government ship yards, or by pri- vate contract. Our merchant vessels are equal to jany in the world for beauty and service; but as to whe Wo can get so good for government ‘he was not #0 sure, Private individuals build for themselves witha view to usefulness of the work, but for government in order for the profits; shipbuilders are as honest as any other class of men, but government is always considered in outlawry —liable to be plucked and robbed, Too many are inclin- ed toadd after the inhibition, “Thon shalt not steal’? the words “except from the United States goverament.”” Laughter.) There huve been lamentable failures in | certain steamships—the fun Jucinto, Alleghany, and Princeton; but have we not also seen failures in private enterprises? Where are the four revenue cutters built by private contract? Thoir names stand on the register; and that isthe better part of them. The Frebus an Torror with their gallsnt captains and crews have gono down to the bottom of the deep ocean, stat nomenis umdra; and so of our cutters as well as those ships. The San Froucisco was of imperfect construction. He under- stood, that if this bill shall be passed the Secretary of the Navy will send competent engineers to Europe to ¢x- amine the models, and willconsult competent engineers here and mechanics, and have the estimates made up at our navy yards—in a word, he will gather all the neces- sary facts in order todetarmine whether it will be better to ‘have the vessels built by contract or some other way. Failures Lave grown out of the defects of steam ma- chinery heretofore, not in the construction of the vessels. He then alluded to our deficiency of vessels for service in emergent cases. It was agreed there should be an effec- tive navy. The number of vessels of all kinds is only wo. Thirty-five yeara is as long as vessels of war are supposed to lust. Ifthe whole navy be replaced in that time, two would have to be built per year to sup- ply those which go out of the service by decay. In 17! we had thirty verscls; our population was then five mil- lions, Now we have five times the number- We have added two thousand miles to our se® coast ; besides, our tonnage and commerce have almost incalcula- bly increased, and yet there has been far from a corresponding sugmentation of our naval force. | We have the requisite material on hard for the proposed six frigates, and an overflowing treasury, Why not apend some of it to strengthen the navy, instead of keeping the money to be squandered by means which the most recke Jess apeculator can devise? It is stated ty the Secretary of the Navy, it is not expected that we shall keep pace with England and France; but we must have somo regard to our position, for if we shonld be ever brought into contest with them we should be prepared for the encoun- ter. The Pacific, home and others squadrons should be strengthened. ‘The warlike movements in the East should warn us to strengthen our navy. Who can tell when and where the conflict willend? Poland, Hungary, and Ituly may be involved in the strife, nation agains! nation, province against province—the sky is darkenin, —ours may be the only neutral fing. Jet us comman for it such respectas may preserve it from insult. We may avoid difficulty only by being able to command re- spect. If we remain neutral the treasures of China, Ja- pan and the bright Orient will load our vessels and en- richour merchants. Commerce will take shelter under our protecting folds—the bridal feast of liberty and com- merce will be spread. Shall we, like the fc virgins, failto replenish our lamps, or like the wise ones, keep them bright and burning, and enter in as welcome guests? Wiil not Spain be involved in those European movements! Italy way strivego rid herself of French bayonets; Hun- gary, Polanc—ail striking for independence—may not the latent spark blaze in Cuba, andits inhabitants struggle for freedom successfully? ‘The blood of Crittenden and his murdered companions will not in vain ery out for ven- geance, and Guba may beeome ours without a violation of treaty stipulations. ‘The Black Warrior hasbeen given up; but ay be considered necessary to take redress into our own hands. The sentiment of the country indicates what that redress snall be. It iscommon remark that the navy needs reform. If the navy is in a sound condition, the country ought to know it; if decrepit and crazy on its feet, it is the duty of Con- gress to remedy the defect. The Secretary of the Navy and the Naval Committees of both houses are willing and ready to co-opernte inthe reform. If something shall not be done for the nm: we the just expectations of the country will be disappointed, and the daty of Congress Will not have heen dieeharged. Mr, Lrox, (ind.) of N. ¥» representing an agricultural district, deeply concurred in this measure, and gave no- tice ke ‘should move for an amendment to increase the navy to twelve first class steam frigates. We live in strange and stirring times. ‘The sublime idea of model republic, as expressed in the philosophy of Plato, never roamed over such a magnificent extent of country as was peopled by its millions of inhabitants, enjoying the blessings of afree government. Lord Bolingbroke, in later times, never dreamed of such a one, where the people govern themselves by the motive principle of self- overnment. During the four months Congress has been with tho President's message and the re- session have we seen and heard? Citizens of the United States have been imprisoned in almost every country of the world. Look at Captain Gibson in Holland, and Richmond in Hungary. Look at the outrages in Cuba—not a ship sent in relief. Cuba should have been at once taken possession of, and satisfaction demanded afterwards. (Applause on the floor.) He had spoken of the model republic—he wanted to sec itsacta correspond with ite sayings; he wanted to sco diplomacy carried on with vessels of war; he wanted to see foreign ports filled with them. Ah, sir, youdon’t know how polite it makes nations towards our diplomatic representatives. (Laughter.) The nay: is the greatest promulgator of Christianity in the world. Lock at the missionary who goes to the poor heathen. When he sees a sloop or a razec, how his heart palpi- tates when he hears the expression—‘See, there is riband fiag—the stripes and stars of yourcountry. Your Fights will now be protected.’” ‘Thists the feeling: and we have the following declaration of the chief magis- trate; he wanted this country to live up toit. He, asa reprerentative of the great State of New York, wanted it acted out in spirit and truth:—“He must realize that on cveay sea and on every soil, in American eltizenship is the invaluable panoply for the security of American rights.” This is what the President says. Let us not regard this as mere theory, but make it a reality. (Cries, “Agreed,” “Agreed.”) ‘The gentleman from Virginis (Mr. Bocock)had alluded to France and England; he aware that two years ago they assumed the protectorate of Cuba and protection of Spain? | You might as well suppore a child would forget the mother who cradled it in her bosom as to suppose that England will forget the enmity and hostility she owes this-country. ter how soft her voice, her voice is the voice of Jacob but her hand is the hand of Eeau. (Excessive laughter. Hio then referred to the trade of Kngland and France wi Russia, amounting to twenty-cight millions of dollars annually. This may ecme into the lap of the United States. "Is it not important, then, we should have an effi- cient navy to protect our commerce and our neutrality ? Contrast the navies of the world, and see how insignif cant our own is. He was sorry to say that though we have got the right stuff we have not the ships. England has foffr hundred and sixty-cight vessels, with five hundred and sixty thonsand tons. France has three hundred and seventy-one vc ssels, with three hundred and twenty-two thausand tons. He found that our navy is but as the sixty-seventh portion of the navies of Europe. When recollect we haye 4,000 miles of seaboard and our fish- eries noed protection, and take into consideration our exigencies at home, to say nothing of our foreign relations, how necessary it is we should have ships gliding quietly into every foreign harbor, to attend to our interests and to guarantee the rights of our citizens! He would direct attention to the Kast Indies. We see Christianity progressing with magnificent resulta; the empire of Confucius is over- thrown, and a sovereign, y’clept the Prince of Peace, is carrying the war to the Celestial city; a portion of the Japan squadron has gone to afford protection in China, and every consul who writes to the Department of State says: “Give us ship here in the ports of the Mediter- ranean.” Sen come with every tongue; and he could only exclaim, in the words of the great poet, If your nation grasps the trident of Neptune and holds it ‘firmly, she will rule the empire of the world.”” Mr. FRAXKLN, (whig) of Ind., gaid he was one of those who voted for sending the Senato’s Nebraska bill to the Committee of the Whole. Although he was in favor of non-intervention, yet the provisions of that bill were #0 odious to him that he preferred it should be con- signed to the deep bosom of the committee rather than it should by possibility pass the House He entered into &n argument to maintain his position, eaying the bill pro. pored Congressional intervention, and that there was in- tentional equivocation in it, the phraseology being framed with a full knowledge that the gentlemen of the North would place one interpretation on it, and the South another.

LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS—THH JONES’ WOOD PARK BILL REPEALED—SALARIES FOR THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AND CANAL APPRAISERS—THE OPENING OF STREETS—THE GERMAN TURNERS IN DiSFAVOB, ETC, SPectaL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. ‘ AtBany, March 28, 1864. The business of the Senate this morning was mostly others which came up was that to repeal the Jones Wood Park law. Mr. Brooks again offered his amendments, which he had previously submitted. Messrs. Spencer and Whiting opposed, when the bill was read and passed nearly unanimously, all the Senators voting to repeal the law. So that speculating matter is disposed of, so far as the upper house is concerned. Mr. Danforth gave notice that he intended to bring in a bill providing a salary for tho Lieutenant Governor, also another making the offices of Canal Appra‘sers salaried offices. From the rare of the Auditor of the Canal Department it appears that lange sums have been expended upon mileage allgwed the appralsers, Ho also introduced a resolution méking inquiry into the matter: but the Senator will scarcely succeed, because the whigs expect {o elect the next Lieutenant Governor, and of the appraisers two are whigs, and are of the softest kind of political metal. The ill to reduce the expense of opening streets, lay- ing out parks, &c., passed the Senate with a strong vote. ‘This ig the one agreed upon by the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Tillon, and ail the New York Senators, by which, it is Mr: D, voluntarily relinquished a large amount of fees. Though nate, efforts pasted quietly through the aro already making either te nmend it materially in the House, or by a system of ‘sharp practice’ which law- yers know how to resort to, dofeat it altogether. All that is proper to state now, is that the Supreme Judges are engaged in establishing rules to meet such cases. The committee having the matter of a bridge acrona the river at Albany in charge, having heard all the argamonts on every side, are expected to make a favorable report in 4 the course of'n day or two. ‘he House was very industriously engage in vot upon bills. Some forty were disposed of, When the b incorporating the German Turn Verein Association was taken up, Mr. Backus, a whig member from Brooklyn, Kings county, rose in opposition to it. He-moved to recommit the bill to the committee of the whole, with instructions to strike out the enacting clause. The atand- ing committee to whom the petitions on this subject were referred, bad given the proposition a fair consideration, and reported that they saw no good reason for incorpor- ating the association. itis @ society of Germans, The Turn Vereina was an association of infidel liberals, estab- ished in Germany, ostensibly for gymnastic purpdses. It being a secret organization, he could not, of course, speak distinctly of their, purposes, bat ho believed they ave spread throughout this country, and that they were a political organization; as one of them votes all vote. An article had appeared in one of the New York papers, when this bill was first. reported, statmg that this asso- ciation knowing that this Legislature was strongly anti- slavery in its sentiments, had gone into a pro-Nebraska meeting, and broken it up for the purpose of gaining favor here. He belicued his was a mistake, but they are never- theless the bullies of our German population. He was not in faver of incorporating a secret, infidel, po- litical or foreign bully association. Mr. B. further stated that he eaw no reason why the Turners should not incorporate under general laws. Another reason which actuated him in his opposition to the bill was, that this society kept up a national distinction; they ars not organized a¥ Americans, but as Germans. : two speeches were made in’ opposition to the views of Mr. Backus, when the question was taken, and the bill defeated. So the Turners must gymnasticate another year without an act of incorporation. ‘The bill repealing the Jones Wood Park law came down. from the Senate, and Mr, Savage made a motion to refer it to the Committse on the Incorporation of Cities and Villages. This was opposed with emphasis by Mr. Conk- ling, who said that Mr. Savage was chairman of that com- mittee, and was interested in real estate which was to be benefitted by the proposed park. Mr. Savage denied having any property in that vicinity; what he held was on the North river side. Mr. Willis discussed the merits of the question, which was strictly out of order, but was allowed to proceed. He was in favor of Jones’ Woods, and stated that it was contemplated to widen the site of the Central Park by constructing a reservoir of many acres larger than was at first proposed. Mr. Leigh wanted a disinterested committce appointed by the Speaker. Mr. Maguire hoped this speculating project would not be allowed to go into the hands of the city delegation. Not only was the Jones’ Wood a speculation, but the Central Park was one also. It would make a wilderness in the centre of the city; and individvals holding property as far as Har- Jem will be mostly benefitted on account of the rise in building lots, whilst hundreds of acres are sought to be excinded from being used for useful purposes. fn jucticn to the citizens of New York this matter should“ not be placed in the hands of the city delegation, but placed in possession of a committee not at all interested. The Je do not want these parks—they want the laws re- pealed. ‘This lobby is filled with speculators endeavor! to defeat the repeal of the law, and for one he was ni disposed to submit to them. ‘The bill was referred to the Committeé on the Internal Affairs of Towns and Counties, consisting of Mr. Losier of Livingston, Nielson of Sara- toga, Williams of Steuben, and Wilson of Niagara, all from the rural districts. Ex-Senator Danic! 8. Dickinson and ex-Governor Bouck, were on a visit to the Legislature to-day, both appearing in fine health and fine spirits. Messrs.

Mr. Stoeckl, who for many years past has been attach- ed to the Russian Legation here, was on Wednesday pre- sented to the Secretary of State'as Charge des Adaires ad interim. No interpelations have passed relative to the important rumor that the Emperor of Tussin haa surrep- titiously introduced into the United States an expedition for the invasion of Canada. I have enquired of Hon. Ca- leb Lyon, who Fepgotents a fronticr district, from which the descent of tHis Russo-American force upon her Bri- tannic Majesty’s dominions would most probably be made, if at all, and'am concerned to say that he evades a direct answer. It is as well to recall the fact that Mr. Lyon made a tour through Turkey Iast fall, and that he passed over from Anatolia to Sebustopol, and from that point repaired to the headquarters of Prince Gortchakoff on the Dneister. It ix of course entirely improbable that Mr. Lyon made any arrangement for the rumored assault upon the integrity of the British through his district, but the coincidence to which I have referred is singular.

A special rreeting 0° the Board of Supervisors, for the appointment of a Commissioner of Jurors in place of Hon. W. Walker, resigned, was held yesterday at 3 o'clock P. M. The Board is composed of the Mayor, Re- corder, the Judges of tho Superior Court, Court of Com- mon Pleas, and wembers of the Board of Supervisora, Hon. Judge Oakley presided, and Mr. David Valentine was chosen Secretary. Judges Daly and Ingraham, of the Court of Common P eas, were the only mim yers absent. Alderman Morr, of the Twenty-first, propo ved that the Board should proceed to the nomination of Commissioner of Jurors. The present incumbent was appointed only by a majority of two of those bodies, and he su »posed, to make it legal, it was necessary that there should be a majority of each of the three. The appointment was a very important one, and much depended uyon it, ins much as all our jurors are summoned by him, ani life, liberty, and prosperity, were conceracd in the matter of this appointment. Supervisor Heru:cr, of the Nineteenth, said that ac- cording to the construction of ths Supervisor of th ‘Twenty-first, this convention was not competent, inas- much a8 two Judges of the Common Pleas were not pre- sent. The same difleulty that occurred in reference to the appointment of Mr. French was likely to arise at present. Ho therefore moved that this convention do now adjourn. Judge Oaxrer said that when this law was first com- municated, appointing a Commissioner of Jurors, there ‘was one gentleman absent. No question was then raised respecting the proper i of that Board. He thought that a majority of the Judge: from both courts, if not all, were present, and no doubt a majority of the Supervitors. They proceeded to make a choice, and the person chosen was Mr. Walker. He entered upon the duties of Qis office, when a meeting was again convened in relation to the appointment. At that meeting the ob- ject sppeared to be to remove Mr. Walker from his place, wnd to appoint another gentleman in his stead. In the organization of that meeting it appeared that but one Judge of the Common Pleas was pre- sent. The question was then raised as to the proper organization of that Board. Several members of the Board who were present, were of the opinion that, at all events, under any construction that might be made of this law, it was necessary that a jority of the Judges should be preseut to constitute a legal quorum. An appointment was made, however, of Mr. Hawes as Commissioner of Jurors. Mr. Walker, con sidering the appointment as illegal, declined surrender- ing his office. Mr. Hawes commenced legal proceedings, which have been and still are pending. Mr. H. went to Congress in the meantime, and that circumstance led to his resignation. Having resigned, another meeting was | convened. At that meeting a majority of the Judges of the Superior Court did not attend. Several adjourn ments took place, and, until a formal communication was made stating that they would not attend, when the Board, in their absence, proceeded to make the ‘appointment of Mr. French. Now they find them- selves placed im much the same circumstances. In consequence of what transpired at the last meating, he had given a good deal of attention to the investigation of the subject. All the Judges of the Court had become united in their views, and cousuliations were held among them: At the congultation to which he alluded, all the Judges attended except two—one of the Superior Court and another of the Common Pleas. At that meeting the matter was thoroughly discussed, the laws carefully examined, and the meeting finally came to this concli- sion. In looking at the statutes they found the power to make the appointment is given to the Supervisors, to the Judges of the Superior Court, and also to the Juiizes of the Common Pleas, but not to those Courts. It was suggested that the true meaning of the statute was | that the gentlemen there alluded to and described, | were described as individuals, and not as in their official station, and that the terms used were a mere description of the Penons who were upon to discharge this duty—that the gent ceseribed as supervisors are described individual], they do not act by virtue of their official station, but are named as certain persons ocetpying positions to whom this right is delegated. The question arose, how was the Board to be constituted? He was authorized to say that all the Judges of the Superior Court, the judges of the Common Plexs, with slight exceptions, united in the cpimon that in order to constitute a legal Board it was | necersury that all the supervisors and all the judges be resent. If that were true, it would beevident that there | had been no legal Board of the Commissioner of Jurors | since the beginning. ‘The Judges had come to the oonclu sion that application should be made to the Legislature remedy this inconvenience, and that it was praper that a resolution should be drafted. ed ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.
