REVISION OF THE NATURALIZATION LAWS, The Army and Military Academy Ap- | propriation Bills, Postponement of the Pacific Railroad Bill. DEBATE ON THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE, &eo., &., &o. | THIRTY-T HIRD CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION. Senate. Wasunaroy, Dec, 11, 1854, NEW SENATOR, ETC. Mr. Bapaxr, (whig.) of N.C., presented the creden tials of David 8. Reid, Senator elect from North Caro- lina for six years from March 4, 1854. Mr Reid then appeared, and the oath of office was administered to him. Various petitions were then presented. THE NATURALIZATION LAWS. Mr. ADams, (dem.) of Miss., introduced a bill to estab- lish a uniform rule of naturalization throughout the United States. The bill extends the term of naturaliza- tion to twenty-one years, and acts prospectively upon those foreigners only who may enter the United Sta‘ after the passage of the act. He addressed the Senate, but read his remarks in a tone of voice which made them | almost unintelligible in the galleries. He was understood rguing that, in one hundred years from this time, | every inch of the American continent would be required for the support of the American people. Self-preserva- tion required that no inducements should be held out to immigration. He denied any connection with | “Know Nothing” societies, or with any other political secret association. He disclaimed all hostility to fo- reigners, and read from one of his former speeches to show that he had no unkind feelings towards them; but he did think immigration was dangerous, inasmuch as foreigners ranged themselves with abolitionists. When he learned that a band of Germans had burned an American Senator in effigy he determined to introduce this bill. So far as he understood the principles of the Know Nothings, he agreed with them. He agroed with their propositions to extend the term of naturalization, and believed in their preference of American Protestants for office to foreigners and Catholics. ‘The bill was then read and referred to the Judiciary Committee. THE FRENCH CONSUL AT SAN FRANCISCO. | Mr. Writer, (dem.) of Cal., offered a resolution call- ing for all correspondence relative to the arrest, &c., of | the French Consul at San Francisco. Adopted. ‘RIVER AND HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. Sareips, (dem.) of Ill., gave notice of bills for the improvement of the Illinois River, and for the improve- | ment of the harbors of Chicago and Wankegan. LIMITATIONS IN CRIMINAL CASES. Mr. Foor, (whig) of Vt., introduced a bill to extend the statute of limitations in certain criminal cases. Re- ferred. THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE. Mr. Cuase, (free soil) of Ohio, gave notice of a bill to abolish the franking privijege. PROPOSED BOARD OF ACCOUNTS. Mr. BroapneaD. (dem.) of Pa.. reported back the bill to establish a board of accounts. THE COLLINS MAIL STEAMERS. The appropriation bill of the last session, for the sup- port of the ocean mail steamers, was then taken up. It stands im the following position: The House at the last session passed the bill containing a clause requiring the Postmaster General to give notice of discontinuing the contract, and the Senate afterwards amended the bill by striking cut this clause, and then the two houses failed to agree upon the matter. Mr. BRopHEan moved now that the bill be referred to the Committee on Post Roads. He thought the allowance was too high, but was willing to give the notice, and take the vessels at their appraised value. He regarded the steamers as utterly useless for war vessels. Mr. Hamurx (dem.) of Me., urged that the matter be | laid over until Mr. Rusk should arrive. Mr. Hunter (dem.) of Va., said he was willing to wait | until that time. He denied that the bill at this stage could be referred. ‘The Cuare decided that the bill came up as unfinished | business. Mr. WELLER moved to postpone the matter oné week. Mr. Skwaxp (free soil) of N. ¥., moved that it be laid on the table.—Agreed to. The Senate then adjourned. House of Representatives. Wasutveton, Dec. 11, 1854. MEDIATION OF THE UNITED STATES IN THI EUROPEAN WAR. Mr. Cuaman, (dem.) of N.C., asked leave to offer a resolution requesting the President to tender the med ia- tion of the United States, in such manner as in his judg- ment may be most likely to lead to the pacification of | the conflict now waging between the allied armi nd Russia. Mr. Hamitton, (dem.) of Md., from a sense of duty, ob- jected to the introduction of the resolution. Mr. Souters, (whig) of Md., asked whether it would be in order to move to lay it in the table. The Sreaxer said it was not yet before the House. Mr. CLINGMAN moved a suspension of the rules. Disa- | greed to—Ayes 47; nays not counted. RELIEF FOR THK GRINNELL ARCTIC EXPEDITION. Mr. Frorexce, (dem.) of Pa., asked leave to offer a joint resolution, authorizing the President to cause an adequate steamer and transport vessel to be purchased or chartered, and fitted out, equipped and provisioned, for the purpose of carrying relief to Dr. Kane’s expedi- tion in the Arctic seas, in search of Sir John Franklin, and to detail such officers and men from the navy, and | accept the seryices of such volunteers, at his discretion, an.GihY dé required for the conduct and manning there- | of, the expenses to be paid oud of the treasury. | Mr. Frorevce said he merely wished the resolution ‘to | be referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs. Objection being made, the House refused to. suspend. | the rules. : THE MEMPUIS NAVY YARD, kTC. Mr. Stantox, (dem.) of Tenn., offered a resolution which was adopted, requesting the President to commu - nicate information’ felatiye te the re-establishment of the Memphis navy yard.” On motion, the special committee appointed last ses- sion on the subject of military superintendence over civil works, was continued in force. ‘Three days of next week were set apart for the con- | sideration of business relating to the Istrict of Co- lumbia. APPROPRIATION BILLS. Mr. Hovstos, (dem.) of Ala., from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported bills making appropriations for a military academy and for the support of the army. Referred. THE PACIFIC RAILROAD, On motion of Mr. McDovcat, (dem.) of Cal., the fur- ther consideration of the Pacific Railroad bill was post. Poned till the second Tuesday in January, in order tore- ceive all the reports of the engineers who surveyed the routes. DIRCIPIANE IN THE NAVY. Mr. Bocock, (dem.) of Va., introduced a bill provid ing for more efficient discipline in the Navy. Referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs. | The House went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, on THE PRISDENT’S MESSAGE, Mr. Hoveroy offered a series of resolutions distribut- ing the various branches of it to the appropriate stand- ing committees, Mr. Grppinas, (abolitionist) of Ohio, hoped they would not be passed without proper discussion. As to Grey- town, he agreed with the President in all his for the destruction of the place, and would be'glad to wipe out that transaction from the page of history. He conceived the President bas been guilty of impor- tant omissions, and has receded entirely from the great positions laid Qeym in Bis inaugural addcens | edin this place. | worth talking about,’’ unless it is now and then to crack | bursts forth, likean unex the world. If our President was ever cut out by nature | to be a ‘large potato,” then it is passing judgment bo- fore nature has performed his work to criticise the ar- | —for toargue our President into a statesman is either to For the frst time in twenty-five years the President is altogether silent in the message about slavery. Where was the reference to his former principles, as publicly avowed, to obtain Cubs by war or purciase’ The rea- son for the omission is, that the voice of the people, as announced in the late elections, has made him hesitate before he attempts to further overthrow the policy of the government pursued for the last fifty years. Why does he not speak further of his sentiments, and avow his policy? The President has sent » female minister to San Bomingo, and through her we learm that our govern- ment has entered into negotiations for obtaining a foot- hold there; but the President is silent on the subject. Mr. Giddings then alluded to the repeal of the Missouri compromise, and to the result of the late elections, to show how the peculiar opinions of the President on that issue were swept overboard. Mr. INGERSOLL (dem.) of Conn., inquired whether the gentlemen just elected to Congress in Masaachu- setts were the peculiar frieads of the President? Mr. GippisGs replied—He alluded to those who voted for the Nebraska and Kansas bill, and particuiarly to the gentleman who was about to retire to the shades of private life. Mr. INGERsout. said that no nominations for Congress have yet been made in Connecticut, and the gentleman from Obio did not know if he (Mr. Ingersoll) desired to to be a candidate. Mr. Gipp1NGs—You never will be, probably. (Laugh ter,) . Mr. Iv¢xRsott—The gentleman may know more about my district than Ido; but I can inform himon the ques- tion of popular sovereignty, as avowed in'the Nebraska Dill, T ean go safely before my constituents and feel assured they will approve of my course. Mr. Gippincs—I cannot say, aa the obituary notice, “the gentleman’s loss will be my gain,”’ but will assert that the going down of every man who voted for the re- peal of the Missouri compromise is a gain to freedom. In the course of his remarks in opposition to slavery, he asked why the President does not come up to the sup- port of his slavery friends, or recede from his policy as | heretofore avowed. Recent elections have shown the administration that principles of freedom are no longer to be trifled with, and that they must be maintained. Mr. Waxexr, (dem.) of New York, offered an amend- ment to the pending resolutions, prefaced by declaring in effect that in the destruction of Greytown the President has exercised a power in violation of the constitution, and providing for the appointment of a select committee of thirteen to report the facts relative thereto, with power to send for persons and papers. The amendment was rejected. Ayes, 14; nays not counted. The committee then rose, and the resolutions referring to the message were adopted. THE OCEAN MAIL SERVICE, ETC. The Ma'l Steamer bill of last session was referred to the Post Office Committee. Isaac Teller, from New York, in place of Mr. Dean, ap- peared, and was qualified. The House adjourned. Our Washington Correspondence. Wasuinaton, Dec. 10, 1854. Affairs in Washington—Why the Sollers Resolution was Defeaved— Washingtonian Reception of thé Message—Is Franklin Pierce a Statesman ?—Death of Presly Ewing —Eulogy of Milton S. Latham. As you are already aware, Congress adjourned on Thursday last till Monday, the 11th inst. Since the day of adjournment there has been no excitement in Washington city, either in politics or morals. Everybody seems to consider it the best policy to keep mum. Those in favor of and “ in the se- crets of the administration” adopt it as a rule to say only what they are forced to, and those opposed say it is time enough to speak when Congress is in session. So between the two, nothing is known of the future, ex- cepting what is dropped from those who are ona “bust”? during the respite, and which, at the best of times, should be received with much incredulity, inasmush a: men in this humor speak from their prejudices, and not from their judgment. Politicians here are much disap- pointed that the Sollers resolution, calling for information relative to the Ostend conference, was defeated, and attri. bute its defeat to that generous disposition of mankind which will not allow a dead carcase to be insulted by a kick. They say the administration is gasping in death, and it is an exhibition of brutality not to allow it to die in peace, rather than be dealing blows of just indig- nation upon expiring clay. So from this, we are to sup- pose it is to pity and not to justice the present heads of the government are indebted for not being forced by the representatives of the people to lay the facts of the Ostend conference before them. Perhaps you are ex- pecting, or have expected, that I should say something of the way in which the President's message was receiv- If you have been entertaining any such expectations as those suggested, all I have to say by way of excusing myself for disappointing you, is, that the President’s message here is not a subject of com: ment or con. Among officials it is rded as a formula, which, considering the state of affairs, would have been more honored in the breach than the observ- anee, if custom had not demanded something from the ‘corporeal substance which presides over the Cabinet. I have delayed writing you for some days past, expecting, during the recess of the legislative bodies, the message of the President would be made a theme for comment and criticism. But my exphetetions have been very much disappointed, so far as I desired to learn by this means the public sentiment respecting the Pre- sident annual exposition of affairs. The Washingtonian public seem to regard the message ass subject ‘not a joke over the absurdities in it contained, just as one would visit the theatre to witness a comedy which was expressly written to excite the risibilities of an audierce. If Mr. Pierce is @ statesman, he will be compelled to write ‘something besides the message just circulated to convince the world of this fact. To suppose him « staterman is only to suppose him trying bis genius to ) the utmost at present to make himseif ridiculous, that the contrast may be more favorable when he actually ted thundergust, to astonis! ticle while it is so “small;” or, taking another view of the subject, it is insulting nature to measure by man- hood what she evidently intended as a joke upon mankind bring down the intellect of society to his level, or to regard Clay, Webster and Calhoun as monstrosities. The Pre- sident, or in other words the administration, being placed in such a lamentable position as the result ‘set up” of so much promise, as that with which they started, forces upon all unprejudiced minds the conviction that the appropriate song for the’ inaguration of March 4, 1853, would have been— “My name was Captain Kidd, As I sailed, as I sailed; My name was Captain Kidd, As I sailed.”” This is all [have to say of the President's message. And “thus endeth my first lesson.”’ Speaking of the present adjournment of Congress till Monday, calls up to memory the nap in respect to whom this adjournment wae made. Presley Ewing, late a mem- ber of Congress from Kentucky, since the last session has been placed in bis grave. Mr. Ewing was one of | thore few who posressed the faculty of endearing them. welves to all with whom they ‘came in contact. ‘ Thist was emphatically the character of Presly Ewing His friends loved him, and from his most bitter enemies his purity of purpose always demanded respe:t. The announcement of his death | in the present Congress was not mere ceremony, but a fact, which umlocked the doors of grief in every bovom—allke in partisan friends and political foer. In the House some fine eulogies were pronounced pon the deceased, as well as in the Senate by Messrs. Thompson and Badger. Among others in the House of Representa. tives, | cannot refraim from giving @ passing compli- ment to Hon, Milton 8. Latham, of California, whose elo- quence in eulogy and grief for the departed, went side by side. Mr. Latham is considered one of the ablest men of the House, and his farewe.l—if I may call it so—of his departed friend added much to this well founded reputa- tion. Durmg Mr. Latham’s eulogy upon Mr, Ewing he was listened (o with breathless attention, and all for- getting portisan feeling, complimented him at its close. Wasmivavox, Dee. 11, 1854. | The Proposed Board of Claime—Uaiond and President | Pierca—Collins Steamers—Know Nothings—Revolution | in Peru—Bogota—Filibustering—Pacific Raitroad— Gen, Rusk's Views, &e., de. | Mr. Erodhend’s bill for establishing a Board of Claims is rapidly growing into favor, and now the surprise is that such a board has not been established long since, | It would not only relieve Congress from an enormous amount of annoying and much shameful legislation, but it would eave millions of dollars to the public treasury, arrest ng as (t woulé most effectually the allowance of cluime uncer the “ log-rolling”’ system—a system which is now pursued in our Congress to ® frightful extent. ‘The Board should be in the nature of s court of justice, and with s jurisdiction sufficiently wide to ombrace every description of claim, | Public curiosity is still upon the qui rire as to the Os- 490 comferente, and © What was it! aad ‘Why Wa it ?”’ are interrogatories which meet us at every turn. Although the President’s friends pronounce it all ‘« moon- shine,’’ yet they are evidently afraid to let him speak for himseM. When the lamented Harrison was « candi- date before the American people for the Presidency, he was said to have a eonscienee keeper and a mouth- piece, but it i only lately that the friends of President Pierce have deemed it peud ent to exercise such a guar- dianship over him. 1 stif believe that the Ostend meet- ing was one dictated by wisdom; but why gag the Execu- tive, and refuse bim permission to give his own explana. tion? This is the mystery to be'solved. The Committee on Foreign Affairs ia the House of Representatives can account for the milk im the cocoanut. ‘The voluminous report from the Postmaster General gives ample proof of the industry and skill with which his department of the government has been’ managed; but that functionary has permitted some interested and Cesigning parties to pull the wool over hiseyes reapect- ing the Collins line of stea:mers, and induced bim: to re- commend the discontinuance of this splendid and now indispensable line of ocean mail steamers. On this sub- ject I will enlarge at a more convenient season: ‘The Kuow Nothings are pitching into the laws on na- turatization, and seem determined to effect a salutary change in the rights of suffrage prior to the next presi dential campaign. It is rumored here that the Peravian Minister is in the receipt of cespatches announcing the termination of the revolution in Peru, and the complete success of the government party. It is believed that Bogota will toon follow suit, and if so our Charge q’Affaires, Hon. James Green, will leave imme- diately for his post of duty. Mr. G. has been home for some months om leave of absence, the revolutionary state of ering his diplomatic services una- vailing for the time being. Interesting private advices have been received here to- day, relative to the revolutionary movements in Mexico The filivusters, under the renowned Caravajal, now num- lr ight Iiundred men, are encamped on the east bank of the Rio Grande. ‘There is not a single American in the party. The failure of Caravajal’s last effort at | revolution was attributed to the fact thet he enlisted Americans, betweem whom and the Mexicans there exists jealonsy, suspieion, and mortal hatred. Gen Woll has command at Matamoras, and has ordered the wort bank of the Rio Grande to be swept of every rancli, and cleared of timber for one hundred feet, for the purpowe of estab. lishing a guard and signals along the whole line. Santa Auna is withdrawing his troops from the centre to strengthen the northern division. This division of the central forees invites Alvarez to press upon hitn in the southern districts. Itis confidently stated the revolu- tionixta will be suceensful The probable failure of Messrs. Walker and King to give the required security to the State of Texas (830,000) for building the first fifty miles of the Pacific Railroad, is creating a good deal of stir im our city. The law pro- vides that if one company should {ail to give the re- quired security, and to execute the work according to law, the governor shall proceed forthwith to re-let the contract to other parties, This road is the greatest pub- lic work ever started im our country, and ould not be permitted to drag for the want of parties to prosecute it. The liberal terms offered by Texas must necessarily enrich every man who has anything to do with it; and yet, strange to nay, thé company who have, underiakea it have been unable to raise the comparatively pitiful sum of $300,000, and have offered, in lieu thereof, the stock of « mining company, which I'am informed, by a gen- tleman well acquainted with the facts, would not sell for fifty cents on the dollar. Gen. Rusk supports Gov. Peane in the refusal to accept the security offered, and ix now absent superintending the interests of Texas in the matter. It is to be hoped that Messrs. King and Walker will be able to meet the requirements of the law | tully and fairly. | The weather continues cold and cloudy, with every prospect of snow, i E. | {Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.} Wasmtxaron, Dec. 7, 1854. The Know Nothing Topics—Naturalizaiion Laws and | State Voters—The Internal Improvement Question—The Instructions to the Conferees at Ostend. ‘The proposed modification or repeal of the naturaliza- tion laws will not affect the laws which regulate the right of voting, for those regulations are made by the States, and in ‘conformity with the provisions of their organic law. In most of the States it will be necessary, in order to restrict the right of suffrage, to alter ti constitution of the State. ‘The modification of the nat- uralization laws will not afford a remedy for the alleged evils complained of by the Know Nothings. ‘Ihe policy of internal improvement by the general government still retains the support of a majority in a “engress decidedly democratic. The President's forth- coming message on thi§ subject will probably indicate a course whereby the prosecution of some works of a na- ticnal character can be secured. ‘The instructions for the American conferees at Ostend will probably reach the light without the aid of a call by Congress. We learn, through Mr. Mason's letter to Mr. Murcy, that Mr, Soule was at Puris, and of course, at Ostend, by his, Mr. Marey’s orders, and these orders are what the proposed call will elicit. "It is well now to say that no orders or instructions relative to that meeting wero given by Mr. Marcy. [Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. ] i ‘sie ieee Dec. 7, 1854, ‘The Proposed ims—Ostend and Ovsters. A bill has been introdueed by Mr. Brodhead, of the Senate, establishing a Board of Claims. It is hoped on all sides that the bill will pass and become a law before the close of this session. Such a board has been a desi- deratum for many years past, its want being felt more and more every year. It would not only sare much va tuuble time to both houses of Congress, but at once change the numerous claims agents in Washington, into attorneys and counsellors learned in the lay, dispensing with the now necessary system of ‘ boring ”” on the one side, and leaving no room for unworthy suspicions on the other. Let the board be in the nature of a court of justice. ‘There existe still a great deal of curiosity in regard to the so called * Congress of Ostend.” Ostend is'a very agreeable watering place in the summer season, has very tine sea bathing, a daily steamer for London, and is onl: a few hours’ journey by railroad from Brussels. It is al:o famous for its oysters, which are not bigger than a quarter of a dollar, and are invariably eaten raw; not admitting ot being either roasted, stewed or fried. ‘The have & ish taste, only appreciated by the initiated, ano are highly valued by the Parisian epicures.

Different Land Projects—The Pacific ‘Railroad, e are before Congress a number of projects for sition of the public lands, ng which Mr. Hunter's bis are prominent. Congrees will make a choice between his general system of graduation, pre- emption, provision for railroads, and sale of lands to the States, in which they lie, and the alternative project of Mr. J. L. Dawson, which passed the House by a large majority, at the late session. Mr. Dawson has brought in » modified bill, which will meet some of the objections to it. Instead of granting a homestead to each citizen, pr oceupaney and cultivation, without compensation, now requires the payment of fourteen anda half cents an acre for the same—that is the entire average cost of the domain, per acre, tothe United States. The pro- vision for the exemption of the land from execution is stricken out, on account of objections from some quar- ters to that benoficial feature. ‘The Pacific Railroad bill of the Senate was postponed till this session, and it is presumed that Dr. Gwin will urge action uy the reports of surveys Ube several voutes shall be laid before Congress. ‘The British West Indies.

The plot of the piece is barely sufficient te keep up the interest for the first act. “The Gentleman from Ireland,’ Mr. Gerald Fizmaurice, (Mr. Brough- am,) is, like all the other Irish gentlemen, always talk- ing about bis ancestors—never having any money, but ever supplied with any quantity of hopes. He is acol- dentally introduced to a clever family who are expect- ing the arrival of a Mr. Dudley, who is affianced to one of the daughters of the house. They have never seen Dudley, | and have been informed that he is an eccentric imlividual, who will introduce himself under a feigned name. Mr. Fitzmaurice causes to be announced Dudley’s sudden death, and the family insist upom believing that he is humbugging them, and that he is the expected auitor. ‘This gives rise to a series of odd situations—Fitemaurice falls in love with one of the deughters, and in vain at- tempts to convimce his mew friends that he is not the man they take him for. A letter from Ireland, bringing the news of Dudiey’s death, and the sudden acceasion-of Fitzmaurice to a fortune, makes matters all right, and the pieve ends in the good old way—everybody being married and forgiven. The dialogue is sometimes smart, but the name of Fitegerala’s castle, “ Bally-mo-kee,”’ in too often iterated; it ceases to be funny after the twentieth repetition. The dash of sentiment in the characterof the Irish gen- tleman is very weak, and it is difficult to ascertain whe- ther he is » genteel swindler, or a very fine young fel- low in difficalties as he represents himself. The weight of the piece rests on tho shoulders of Mr. Brougham, and its success must be, in # great measure, attributed to his excellent acting. Mr. Dyott played Mr. Clover very nicely, and the other parts were respectably ren- dered. The piece went off smoothly, and was very well received. Mr. Brougham being called out after the fall of the curtz'n, announced that Mr. Pitz-James O’Briem was the author of the piece, aud that it would be repeat- edon Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Mr. O’Brien, deing called for, bowed his acknowledgments from the private box, 0. P. Mr. O’Brien has shown talent for dramatic writing, and we hope that he will give us an American comedy onan American subject. | Burton’s Theatre. A new piece, entitled ‘‘ Apollo in New York,” from the yen of Bourcicault, was produced last night at Burton's. ‘The house was densely crowded. The cosedietta—aa able satire on some of the foibles of our city life—was played with the following cast:— Jupiter, disguised as Sandy Hook, Mr. Burtom; Apollo, or Apollonini, a grand Italian tenor, Miss MacartBy; Mars, an a Bowery fireman, Mr. Andrews; Mercury, as a penny- a-liner, Mr. Holman; Cupid, as a newsboy, Miss Kate Saxon; New: York, ono side as Fifth avenue, one side as Bowery, and one side as—somothing else, Mr. Jobaston; Reporters!

Cooke; Mrs. Bloomer, Miss Terry; Lueretia Pott, Miss Farren Lucy Rock, Miss‘Connor; Anne Reyal, Mrs. Bell. . The piece is in four scenes—the first represents the landing. of Apollonini at Sandy Hook, followed, at = respectfal distance, by Coutts ; the second is thepublie reception of the great tenor at Staten Island, bya beg- garly crowd, in which newspaper enterprise, in the shape of reporters, is sevetely handled; the third is = mock austion in Chatham street, where, among many. spurious articles, the pledges of the Common Council te clean the streets are sold fer six.cents ; and the fourth, and decidedly the most witty scene of all ix a Woman's Rights Convention with Mrs. Partington (Burton,) in the chair. A Know Nothing song and Know Nothing hits elieited immense gpplause om more than one occasion. Though the pieee contains many extrava- | gancies which might “well be ‘omitted, it was de- | cidedly successful. Ite satire was good humored, and was well received by the audience, and the grand American tableau at the conclusion was an ample atone- ment for previous jokes at the expense of Wall street bro- kers, Aldermen and Broadway shanghaes. There was not» however, much room for acting, if wé except Burton, as Mrs. Partington, who kept the audience ina roar during the entire scene of the Woman’s Rights Convention.

THE FIRE IN WILLIAM SPEEET—THE CHARGE MISSED AGAINST MR. EHLEN. _ The investigation of the fire at 122 William street hes been fully gone into, and the circumstances which 4; peared stspicious against Mr. Joseph Ehlen have been shown to be, in a great measure, unfounded. He had more property on his premises than he had covered by insurance. It was shown that he had entered his office from the rear window, and in fifteen or twenty minutes after his place was found on fire, and he not there. It was also shown on the past of Mr. Eblen, that his hours for leaving his office was from ten:to one o'clock, which accounted for his absence during the time of the fire. Justice Bogart, on the evidence addnced, did not consi. der there was sufficient shown to justify the holding of Mr. Ehlen, and therefore he was honorably discharged. ‘The fire was probably the result of accident, FIRE IN BEERMAN STREET.
