Mr. Brown said he was willing to goon now or to- morrow. Mr. HenrEx moved to postpone until to-morrow. Some debate took place, and upom taking the question no quorum voted. Mr. Weiser, (dem.) of Cal., moved an adjournment. Mr. Sirpiz, (dem.) of La., asked for the yeas and nays onthe motion. _ Mr. Weiirr—As it is early, andas the responsibility of making a motion to adjourn is sought to be placed on the journal against mo, Iam somewhat frightened, and, therefore, withdraw the motion.

Wasninaroy, May 16, 1854. ‘The House went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, on NEBRASKA BILL. Mr. Maxweit, (dem.) of Fla., having the floor, gave way to Mr. Host, (dem.) of La., who wished to correct a statement. He said the statement in the Globe in respect tojwhat occurred yesterday, is. untrue, as far as his knowledge went, andasfaras he was informed by his’ friends; and that the statements he had read in the other papers were substantially true. Mr. Crater, (dem.) of N. C.—If the allusion of the gentleman is to anything Isaid, I have to observe, my remarks are substantialiy reported in the Globe. What he said, I did not hear distinctly, and therefore I do not undertake to repeat what he did eay. What I said, is substantially reported in the Glove, and by that I ‘am willing to stand. Mr. Huxt—I branded the statement made yesterday as nd the brand is still hissing. . CRAIGR—The gentleman cannot strut into a scrape and sneak out of it in that way. [Cries of “Order! Order!’” Mr. Haven, (whig) of N. Y., said Mr. Cook had been suddenly called away, and had left with him some re- marks which he wished, by permission of the House, to be published. ‘Mr. WALsH, (dem.) of N.Y. 8. Ihope all his friends will follow his example. Caughtor,) Mr. Maxweur resumed tho floor. He left {t tothe country to determine whether or not the recent move- ments of the minority were factious. He trusted that hercafter, ax heretofcre, their efforts to distract lesisla- tion, and to mislead the people would prove abortive. He advocated the Nebraska bill, and the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. He apprehended none of the dangers which others fear from the passage of this mea- sure; for where the right is, there will public conyic- tions ultimately nettle. Mr. Mayatr, (dem.) of Me., said—The compromise of 1800 is far more objectionable tothe North than that of 1820 is to the South. If it is the object of the friends of the bill to repeal all compromises relative to slavery, it devolves on them to repeal the former as well as compro- mises of the constitution. The question is, whether the ood faith of the nation shall be maintained, or whether it shall be trampled on. He was not opposed to organiz- ing Territorial iments for those Territories, but was against the bill in its present shape. His objection re- lated almost exclusively tothe clause Proposing to re- peal the Missouri compromise, conce ng that this would Plunge us into another slavery agitation. Mr. Prague, (whig) of N. Y., said the voice of his im- mediate constituents came to him in tones deep and un- broken, like the cataract on their borders, earnestly re- monstrating and protesting against the repeal of the Mis- souri ee a oe and enjoin’ ee him the exercise of all means in his power to oppose the proposed act of | tion. He was happy to ray his own views and fe were in perfect accordance with those of his constitu He gave his reasons for opposing the bill. IDDINGS, abolition} of O1 io, bailed the discussion of this important question with interest, emotion and joy. To those who introduced it he tendered his humble ‘and hearty thanks. They had done more to agitate the question of humanity in one week than he had in twenty iz He was not connected with either of the two po- itfeal parties. He rejoiced that the old issues were sub- siding, and the landmarks which distinguished whigs and democrats growing fainter. The time has arrived for the lovers of their race, the patriots and statesmen of the Innd, te stand up boldly to brand the traitors who would overthrow the constitution, and send our army and navy to Cuba to prevent the 88 of freedom. He would stay here as fong as hecould, and say nothing but nay, to thwart the will of those who design treason to our vernment and humanity. He drew a picture of the hor- rors of slat , and said whoever voted for this bill would help to perpetuate them. For the sake of argument, he ‘would take the principle of nonintervention by Congress, and with this he would make the Territories the battle field, Carry your arms in your hands—Congress shail not interfere ; and carry a surplus for the slaves who may be there. Although a man of peaco, he was a greater lover of freedom. "He stated at length his objec- jons to the bill, and when his hour expired, said he had merely touched on a few of his points. Mr. Wricnr, (dem.) of Miss., said that it was not to be expected that any man holding a seat on that floor from his State would so far forget himself as to reply to the gentleman from Ohio. Mr. Gippince—That is the best argument you ever made or will make. Mr. Reavy, (whig,) of Tenn., got the floor,*when the committee rose, and the House adjourned. By all me Fatal Railroad Accident.

Se Oo Mea a Anniversary of the New York M. E. Con- ference. . The annual sermon before this body was preached yesterday morning, at leven o'clock, in the Janostrect Methodist Episcopal church, by the Rev. Dr. Holdick. ‘The reverend gentleman chose as his text the forty- seventh chapter of Ezekiel, the sixth to the ninth verses, inclusive. The anniversary exercises were held in the evening, at the same place. Bishop Scott presided. After the usualexercises the annual report was read. No statistios are given, but it appears that on the whole the affairs of the association are in a prosperous condi- tion. Rey. Dr. Neely, Rev. Dr. Durbin and Dr. Wiley fol- lowed, in brief and appropriate addresses. Rev. Mr. Hacany delivered an aloquent address upon the subject of missions and missionary enterprise. He referred to the second prophecy, whic’ distinctly pro- dicted the f uture triumph of the gospel and the realiza- tion of the mellenium. But that time had not come. Had the time come when the nations should not Hift hostile hands against each other? No! The history of the bloody wars which had lately aflic- ted the world was a sufficient answer to the ques- tion. ‘The conversion of this world wag not to be ac- complished by the simple aid of the gospel alone. He did not mean to say that the gospel was not the great instrumentality in its conversion, but he would sa; that if we depend alone on the gradual advance of gospel truth, he should despair—not entirely despair—but still porsusded that the time would be much lengthened until the final triumph of the gospel. ‘The gospel had now been in the world eighteen hundred years. It was trse that it sprung into notice in Jerusalem, and in- stantly spread throughout Palestine, and thenco spread North, South, Yast and West. In the course of three hundred years it brought the whole Roman empire to the foot of the cross. He grantod that it should be taken into account that miracles were wrought at the early time, and attended the gospel at every step throughout that’ period. But what occurred afterwards? After the year one thousand of the Christian era, Mahomme- dapisim had covered balf the globe. From ‘that period, Mahomedanism ruled the day, and from the year 1800, Christionity was neglected.’ But there were political canges which were iff action. Then, at that corrupt period Luther arose, and effected a sudden reforma- tion. But to what should we ascribo that reformation? Certainly not to Luther alone; but political reasons wero at work on the subject. The principal cause that led to the complete success of Protestantism was rscribable to natural means in a great measure. In England, the las- civious propensities of Henry VII. was the principal caure: and Duke Frederic, in Germany, took an active rt also in the establishment of the basis of a pure ro. igion. The speaker detailed the progress of the Chris tian Church from year to year, and the meeting dnally adjourned, after a short session. Court of General Sessions. Before Judge Beebe. May 10.—Selling.

Obituary. TRE LATE JAMES MONTGOMERY, THK POET. It has already been stated in the Heraiv that James Montgomery, the poet, died quite suddenly on the 30th | ult., at his residence in Sheffield, England, in the eighty third year of his age. Montgomery is admitted by ali the critics to have been at the bead of the religious post# of his age. Since the bard of Olney, no one #ur- passed him in purity of sentiment or fervor of devotion. For balfa century he bad been slowly and constantly increasing in the popular favor, and lis reputation before his death acquired a compass and a solidity which forbid all thought of its decay. Of the throug of competitors among whom he won his laurcis, Crabbe, Byron, Scott, Southey, Coleridge, Wordsworta, Camp- Bell, Moore, and Wison, went before him into the re gisn of the anknown; and now only Rogers, of all that illustrious company of men of genius, is permitted to lingyr at the gates of the future and listen to the ap- plauses of posterity, James Montgomery wae the-eldest son of a Moravian: clergyman, and was born at Irvine, in Scotland, on the fourtbof November, 1771. His parents determined to educate him for the ministry, and at a very early age placed him in one of the seminaries of their church where he-remained ten yeurs = At the end of this period he decided not to study the profession to which he had been destined, and was in sonsequence, placed with a shopkeeper in Yorkshire. Ilf satisfied with his new em ploy ment, however, he abandsned it after a few months, ind, when but aixteen yearsel age, made his fiest ap: yearance in London, with » manuscript volume. of poems, of which he vainly endeavored to proce the publication. In 1792, being then about twenty: one-years of ago, he went to Sheffield, where he was soon after engaged as a writer for the Register, a weekly gazette, published by Mr. Gales, a bookseller, and granalather,’ we believa, of the present editor of the National Intelligencer; aud, in 1794, on the fight of his employer from England, teavoid 8 political provecution, he hinself became publisher and editor, and changing the name of the paper to the Iris, eonducted it with much taste, ability, and moderation. It was still, however, obuoxious to the government, and Mr. Montgomery was prosecuted for printing in it a song commemorative of the destruction of the Bastile, flaed twenty pounds, and imprisoned three months in’ York Castle. “On resuming his editorial duties, he carefully arrested for an 6flensive passage in an account which he we of a riot in Sheffield, and again imprisoned. It was uring his second confinement that he wrote “Prison Amusements,’? which appeared in 1797. In his preface to the first edition, he says, ‘These pieces were compos ed in bitter moments, amid the horrors of a jail, under the pressure of sickness. They were the transcripts of melancholy feelings—the warm effusions of a bleeding heart. The writer amused his imagination with attiring his sorrows in veree, that, under the romantic appear- ance of fiction, he might sometimes forget that his mis- fortunes were real.”” Mr. Montgomery returned,to his printing office with a strong determination, ‘‘come wind or sun, come fire or water, to do what was right,” conducted his paper; and his taste, judgment and integrity gradually ovorcame the prejudices which the course of his predecessor, much more than anything he had hiinselt written, had created against it. Referring tothis period of his life, he tells us, in the last edition of his works, that he had foolishly sacrificed all of bis friends, connoctions, and prospects in life, and thrown himsel! headlong into the world, with the sole view of acquiring poetic laurels.

One lay afier another, in the “reformed spirit,”’ appeared in the two following years, and he collected the series into a volume, which was printed under the title of ‘* The Ocean, and other Poems? in 1805. In 1798, the independence of Switzerland had been vir- tually destroyed by France, though till 1803 the cantons were nominally allowed to exercise home jurisdiction. In the beginning of the last mentioned year Napoleon abolished the government, and declared that the cantons must in future be the open frontier of France. On the seventeenth of February this circumstance was thus re- corded by Mr, Montgomery, in the /ris:— ‘The heart of Switreriand is broken: and liberty had beyn driven from the only ei ry which she had found in the continent, But the unconquered, the unconquerable off- spring cf Tell, diedaining > cie faves in the land where they were horn free, sre emigrating t» America.

It wes followed, in 1812, by “The World Before the Flood,’ in four cantos, suggested by an allusion in Paradice Lost to the translation of Enoch. This is one of his most popular works, and has many passages of quiet reflective beauty, “Greenland” appeared in 1819. The subject was well sulted to his powers and habits of feel ing.

They have the antique sin plicity ef pious George Withers, and a natural, unaf- fccted carnestnese, joined to a pure and poetical diction, which will secure to them m permanent place in English literature. Mr. Montgomery had little dramatic power, and little skill in neriative. His longest and most elaborate works, though they conte'n beautiful and touching thoughts i , minute- fent in , are without plot, and are de incident. His little songs and cabinet pieces, however, are almost perfect in thelr way; and nearly al! of them are full of devotion to the Creator, sympathy with suifer- ing humanity, and a cheerful and hopot al philosophy p 1827 he gave to the world “The Pelican Island,” de scriptive of the folitary contemplation of nature.

TO THE EPITOR OW THE HERALD, New Yorx, May 15, 1864. Sm—In your article yesterday headed ‘The Comunéa- sioners of Emigration and the Health of the City,’ some very unjust allusions are made to the gentlemen com- posing that body. Instead of meeting ‘‘ seme three or four times a year in a comfortable effice, far away from the receiving house to examine into the accounts &c.,"” the Board, since its formation in 1847, has held weekly meetings, or fifty-two in a year, (instead of three or four,) and always in their offiee in the new City Hall building in the Park, which was connected with the of- fice wliere all applications from the emigrants were re- ceived, and connected therewith by two ent and entered from without en one side through that offic, antildriven out by the fire in last January, and com- pelled to hold their weekly meeting away from the re- eviving office. Tn addition thereto the chairman of the Ward’s [stand committee (which is composed of six of the members of the Board,) visits the Refuge and hospitals on Ward's Island (some six miles distance from the city,) once and frequently twice every week, and inspects the condition of the institutions, the quality of the supplies, &o. ‘Tie Commissioners are required by law to have offices in which to receive all applications for relief, informa- tion and aid of such emigrants as may become sick after having pissed the inspection of the health officer of the port, and having landed in this city, and, in fact, to provice for all emigrants who are unable tosupport themselves within five years after their arrival. Th fame officers required to carry on the business of lieving the destitu igranis are alse required to transact such business as the Commissioners may have with the merehants engaged in the trade of bringing emigrants, and therefore the Commissioners aro com- pelled to locate their offices so as to be accessible from all parts of the cit; For these reasons they selected the schoothouse im Franklin street as a retired place, where ‘the eye not be offended and the heart not sickened,” and were determined to keep all such emigrants as might apply te them, (while walting for relief,) inside the building, (having two entire floors set apart for their accommoda- tion,) and not to permit them to congregate about the dcors and on the sidewalk. ‘The clerk, who died a short time since in the discharge of his duty, did not fall ‘a victim to disease contracted from emigrants,” but died from the effects of a cold pro- duced from the dampness of the offices in the old build- ing, which the Commissioners wero forced to occupy, althongh without any roof and entirely untenantable, while seeking out another location, which thoy found, but are not yet permitted to carry on their business im. The Cominissioners always considered that they were using their utmost exertions, with some success, to pre- vent the spread of pestilence and disease throughout the city, by immedistely removing all cases of si coming under their charge, on being notified thereof, With ag much despatch as possible, to the Marine Hospi: pital at Staten Island. In the fac? of all such sacrificing exertions, without any fee or reward, It is cer- tainly very unfair that the most unjust imputations should be cat upon them. aa = in reference to thedecision of Judge aus in a measure the injunction of Judge set I think gree with me that it is carrying out Lord Nor- ministration of justice in Ireland, of “han, t and trying them afterwads.’’ JUSTE THE WINCHESTER’S PASSENGERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, Pear fin—I think .you have done injustice to the Commissioners of Emigration, in to-day’s and Monday's Henan, in relation to the wrecked passengors of the ship Winchester, brought bere by the ship Washington. The Jatter ship arrived on Sunday afternoon. Word was brought to the Commissioners’ office about 4P. M. that some four hundred passengers were landed on the North river sido, and wanted aid.

M. for instructions, end was ordered to provide lodgings for the Women and | childsen at any rate, and lodgings for all if possible. The Commissioner being unwell, sent word by a gentle- | mon to say the other clerks must be looked up, to help | provide quarters for all, This was done, and before 8 ing were found for all the 401, as the books wilt y were furnished supper and breakfast, and on Monday, at 9 A. M., the Commissioner, before seeing his colleagues, called at the office to take measures for their care. At the office he met one of the firm of Crooker & Warren, with Captain Moore, of the Win- | chester. These gentlemen said they would fa all expenses if the Commissioners would facili- tate them in forwarding the passengers to Boston. This was cone immediately, and the best clerk in the of- fice was sont with them; 360 were sent on to Boston yes- terday, by five P. M.—these were all that could be found; 17 were sent on to-day—the remainder do not want help, or are sick at the Marixe Hospital. It is not true that they were neglected in any way; you must certalaly have been misinformed. While at the office, 1 asked all whom | Leaw, if they had been well provided for the previous | night and had breakfasted; they | peared to | ty of the office ‘asking for aid, and when asked their id they had, and aj very grateful. yet many in the vicinl- names and if they had not lodged and breakfasted well, they admitted they hed. Some answered they had seen people giving’money and they thought they might ask also. One word in relation to our location—every effort has been made by the Commissioners to lease from the clty, or hire from others, a location near the docks, and when they have had one in view, they have been foiled im every case. I think I can say they ready to lease or buy a place in the vicinity of the water at any time. Again, as to the attendance of the Commissione! have met overy Wednesday for the last three years, to my knowledge. Until the injunction had been ordered by the Court, some of the Commissioners visited the city tutions under their charge at of the committees much oftener. Friend Bennett—all the pay or favors asked of the press or our citizens is justice and fair play. Very A COMMISSIONER.
