THE RIVEK AND HARBOR BILLS BEFOKE CONGRESS— BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE BRITISH PROVINCES AND OREGON—THE COURT OF CLAIMS—TBE KANSAS TREASON CASES, ETO., ETO. ‘Wasiinetox, August 4, 1966, The case of R. N. Thompson was again postpoued in the Senate to day, and the river and harbor bills taken up. “Several were passed, It is doubtful if any of them get through the Honse, owing to the press of business. The House of Representatives passed the bill appro- priating one hundred thousand dollars for the improve ment of the Patapaco river, and to render Baltimore ac- cessible to government war steamers; also a bill to carry into effect the treaty with England providing for running the boundary between Oregon and the British posses- sions, This bill creates a score of offices with good sala- ries. A bill was also passed giving additional force to the Court of Claims, and increasing their salaries. An ad- ditional solicitor and several clerks are to be appointed. ‘This bill came from the Senate, and only awaits the Presi- dent’s signature to become law. The other two bills go to the Senate for their action. Another attempt was made this moruiag to suapend the rules in the House and take up the Pacitic Railroad bill. The rvles were not suspended, but a large majority voted in the affirmative. If reported from the Committee on Public Lands, the prospect is certain of the passage of the bill this session. A bill was reported by Mr. Savage, of Tennessee, grauting to all soldiers who served three months ia the war of 1812, or in any Indian war since, full pay for life, or inthe event of their death, to their widows. The bill was referred to the Committee of the Whole om the State ot the Union. Mr. Kennett reported in favor of grantiag half a million doliars to enlarge the canal around the Ohio Falls, at Louisville. . It was similarly referred. There is a strong party in Congress favoring the constructioa of a canal on ihe Indiana side, imstead of enlarging the Keutucky canal. A resolution was offered by Mr. Purviance, inquiring into the cauze of the arrest and imprisonment of Deitzler, Smith, Brown and others, in Kansas, and directing the Judiciary Committee to bring in a bill ordering a nolle progequi to be entered. The resolution was not entertain- ed. Mr. Wilson tried the same thing in the Senate, but failed. The House next took up the General Appropria- tion bill, in Committee of the Whole, and passed upon a large number of items. Should the river and harbor bil's a become laws, the official patronage of the Secretary of War will be equal to that of the President himself, without any of the responsi- bility. The appropriations are all to be expended under his direction. Governor Stevens, of Washington Territory, furnishes the Indian Bureau with a detailed history of the origin and progress of the Indian disturbances, ahd closes by saying that “we are upon the eve of a general Indian war.’” The Indian office thinks differently, as Agent Palmer, of Oregon, writes, ‘The war is virtually over.” ‘The committee on Nayal Affairs in the House have had the Naval bill up, but failed to come to any conclusion with reference to it, I understand there will be nothing done with it this session, A resolution will be offered, I understand, by a mem- ber from New York, in a few days, to reduce the tarli ten per cent. ‘The nigger worshippers are determined to stand by the Kaneas amendments to be offered by Mr. Sherman to the Approprfation bill now under consideration, The developements made by the Investigating Committee create a good deal of talk to-day about the Treasury De. partment. Iarge numbers of Mexicans are now hero, among whom I see Gen. Atocha, Santa Apna’s fugleman, who is stopping at Willard’s. The bil!, as passed by the House on Saturday, making appropriations for fortifications and other works of de- fence, contains the following items :~ For Fort Montgomery, outlet of Lake Champlain, $25, (00; for Fort Knox, Maine, $60,C00 ; for Fort Winthrop, Massachusetts, 10,000 ; for Fort Richmond, New York, $75,C00; for Fort Warren, Massachusetts ,000 ; for Fort Delaware, $160,000; for Fort Carroll, Maryland, $150,000 ; for Fort Calhoun, Virginia, $50,000 ; for Fort Sumpter, South Carolina, $59,000 ; for Fort Pulaski, Geor- gia, $19,00¢ ; for Fort Clinch, Florida, $25,000; for Fort McKee, Florida, $25,000 ; for Fort Barrancag, $25,000; for Fort Gaines, Alabama, $50,000 ; for Fort Taylor, Flo rida, $160,000 ; for Fort Jefferson, Florida, $150,000 ; for fortifications at Alcatraz Island, San Francisco Bay, Cali- fornia, $200,000 ; for fortifications at Port Point, entrance of San Francisco Bay, California, $359,000 ; for repairs of Castle Pinckney, South Carolina, $10,000 ; for repairs of Fort Jackson, Georgia, $14,000 ; for repairs of Fort Mor- gan, Alabama, $25,000 ; for extension of battery at Fort Jackson, Mississippi river, $10,000; for repairs and ex tension of Fort St. Philip, Mississippi river, $30,000 ; for contingent expenses of fortideations not herein mentioned, the preservation of sites, the protection of titles, and ro: pairs of sudden damages to forts, $30,300, Total, $1,- 683,300. bd The Empire State—Verdict of the Coroner's Jury. Faw River, Aug. 4—6 P.M. The Coroner’s Jury on those killed by the late explo sion on the Empire State bave just rendered their verdict, which is accompanied by a lengthy document reviewing the testimony, and explanatory of the jury's resons for thetr decision. After repeating the usual formalities and giving the names of the dead, the verdict says:—That the deceased persons died in consequence of injuries re- cetved on board the steamboat Empire State on her pas age from Fall River to New York, on the night of the 26th of July, when a short distance from Point Judith, which injuries were scalds or burns occasioned by the collapsing or bursting of the steam chimney of the starboard boiler of the said steamboat, at avout ten o'clock VP. M that the defects, it any existed, in said steam chimney, were not such asa careful examination and the exercise of due diligence could bave detected and guarded against, that there ap- pears to have been no excess of steam at any time after the beat left Fall River; that, on the contrary, but a mo- ment or two before the explosion the pressure of steam indicated was about six pounds less than the maximum of pressure allowed by the Government Inspector; that there appears to bave been the ueual amount of water in the boiler at the time of the explosion, and no want of care or attention on the part of the engineers and fire- men, and that therefore this accident is to be regarded as. one of those unforeseen casualties incident to steamboat travel, and for which oo person or pertons can be held accountable. Fillmore and Donelson Ratification. Bostox, Aug. 4, 1856, The Fillmore and Donelson ratification meeting in Fa- peul) Hall this evening, attracted a largo crowd,ombracing delegations from Roxbury and Charlestown, with bands of music. From four to five thousand people were as- sembled. The principal speeches were made by Erastus Brooke, of New York, and A. B. Ely, of Newton, Some Fremonters present interrupted the general har- mony of the meeting by cheers for their candidates, and & banner borne into the hall by the Charlestown club, caricaturing Mr. Fremont asa mired bishop, with the crose in his band, was attacked and torn to fragments. Otherwise the Fremonters kept the peace. The Fillmore men were extremely enthusiastic, and the meeting bighly retpeetable, News from Kansas, Cucaco, Aug. 4, 1866, Advices from Leavenworth to the S0th ult, state that General Lane and company had not then entered the Territory of Kansas, and General Smith had threatened that if they attempted to enter he should proclaim mar- tial law. The Territorial authorities were commencing to levy taxes, Trouble was apprehended, as both parties refused to pay. The Valicy Bank of Maryland.

On motion of Mr. Sewano the River aud Harbor bill was taken up, and a debate ensued upes it involving the general merits of the system. ‘The Senate then passed bills continuing certain public works in Massachusetts; for the improverment of tho Mia- sisrippi river, and the harbors of New Castle, Delaware, Erie and Pennsylvania; also the billa to continae the im- provement of the Rock River Rapids, and the improve- ment of the Tennessee river. Adjourned. House of Representatives. Wasmyatoy, Aug. 4, 1856, ‘THE NORTHWESTERN HOCNDARY, The House passed the bill providing for the appoint- ment of a commission to run a boundary line between Wasbington Territory and the British possessions, under the Oregon treaty—there being conflicting claims, owing to the undetermination of the main channel southerly from the Gulf of Georgia to the Straits of Fuca. RIVER IMPROVEMENTS. The Senate bill appropriating $100,000 for the improve- ment of the Patapsco river, and rendering the port of Baltimore accessible to war steamers, was then passed. ‘THE TREASON CASES IN KANSAS, Mr, Perviaxce, (nigger worshipper) of Pa., moved a suspension of the rules to enable him to introduce a rerolution instructing the Committee on the Judici- ary to inquire forthwith, and report by what autho- rity the recent arrests in Kansas, of Messre.

After acting on many of its items the Hoase took a re- cess till seven P. M. EVENING SESSION. Mr. Crirey, (K. N.) of Del., read an extract from the Savannah Rrpubsican, purporting to be a .sketch of some remarks of Mr. Cob), of Georgia, delivered in that State recently, in which Mr. Cullen’s name was incidentally introduced. Mr. Cullen wished to know whether Mr, Cobb ured the language quoted. Mr. Conn, (dem.) of Ga., explained that the position he had taken was, that it would be rous to throw the election inte the House, as it would result in the choice of Fremont.

There might be matters referring to the present public health, which it would be highly injadicious should be made public through the newsps. pers, He hoped that at all events the Alderman making ‘the motion of open session would withdraw the same for & short time, till one or two special matters wero dispose: of, Alderman Eiy eald that the real objoet of his making the motiou was to remove any unfavorable impressions that might go abroad as to the health of the elty.

REPORT OF THE HERALD STREET COMMISSIONER, We have already given our readers the result of the investigation of our Strect Commissioner in the Seven teenth ward, and we now continue bis report of the con dition of the streets in the First, Second, Third and Fourth. Commencing at the junction of Rarsiay and Washington streets, he made a circuitous tour of the whole southern portion of the city, inspecting Cedar. Pino, Carlisle, Rec- tor, Bridge, Water, Roosevelt, Gold, Cherry, Frankfort and Dover streets, which are generally and justly considered among the filthiest localities in New York, All of these thoroughfares are in the vicinity of the North and ast rivers, and the greater portion of them abound in emi- grant boarding and lodging honses, and are Principally inhabited by the poorest classes of our population. The houses are, for the most part, wretchediy constructed, or inthe most rvinous condition, and a large nomber aro not even supplied with Croton water, except what their occupants obtain from the bydrants in the street. In some of these houses there are ten of fifteen familios. and many of these aro confined to one Apartment each, which is made to answer the di‘lerent purposes ofa kitch. en and bedroom for all the members of the family, somo- times numbering six persons. The basement is generally the worst part Of The hows, ant a stench artens from if Inspector 16 Ludlow yet it would be upjust to blame them altogether for this, a8 in many instances they are the unwilliag but helpless victims. They have no receptacle for ashes and garbage in the rear of their dwellings, and are obliged either to keep it in their rooms or violate the Corporation ordi- nance by throwing it ia the street. In this dilemma they naturally prefer to violate the ordinanee. Now, there is a very simple remedy for this. "A Propo- sition waz made about a year ago, through the Hest, to supply every block with a large ash and garbage box and, if necessary, to insure cleanliness, each block with two or three. These boxes might be emptied once a day, and in this way the poor would be enablad to keap their own tenements clean, avoid the violation of the ordinan Ces, and the penalties attendant on such violations. Kati some remedy like this is adopted, it is absurd to expec Such streets as those we have named can be kept ia a clean and healthy condition. If the means which have been already tried have failed, and if the ordinances have proved useless, the City Lispeetor and the stree Commissioner can surely contrive something between them which would accoraplish the desired olject. We recommend the toxes to their consideration as the best proposition that ks yet bees made. But the fact is, tat even this remedy would de of no avail if the cirt cartmen negtect their bsiness and fai! to remove the ashes and garbage after they have beou de- posited in these reeeptacles. During hi3 tour of inspec. thon the Commissioner saw m: proofs of the desire of the poor to remove tiie filth from thelr dwellings, and ey oe simply besause the proper authorities had not performed their duty, They had in some instances been able to place small ach boxes on the curbstozes oppo- site the doors, and tiose who were unable to procure these endeavored to supply their by old broken pots, superannuated ta cans, and various articles of crockery, while some more forturate had risea to the dignity of a coal scuttle or the more ample dimensions of attour barrel. In some streets there appeared to be quite a rivalry in regard to the character of the utensils, and it was amusing to eee the tremendous efforts which some of the more ambitious of their deni- zeus put forth in the production of old wash boiters, slop buckets, pails and tubs, which had long since seen their best washing days. In some of the large tenemen t houses various sorts of ash boxet are extemporized by clubs consisting of three or more families, sanitary associations on a small scale, temporarily organized for the expulsion of ashes, gar- bage, and ail kinds of filth from their cramped and mise- rable lodgings. Each family takes its turo, and every week a strange looking utensil ornaments the curb. These are generally of such limited dimensions, that one day’s cleaning of two or three tenements fis it’ to over- flowing, whea the contents are thrown into the middle of the street, to make way for the next day’s produce. ‘This accounts to a great extent for the filthy condition of many of the streets mentioned: — Wash'ngton street, from Barclay down to the Battery, though not so filthy as it was some two or three weeks since, is sadly in need of a visit from the sweepers and Cirt cartmen. In the neighborhood of Cedar and Pine streets the gutters are choked up with cabbage levves, egg shells, rotten potatoes, straw, old boots and shoes—— to old that even the rag pickers pass them by—broken piecos of ereckery, and occasionally the led remains of@rat. In front of one house a quantity of rain water had collected, and thia, mingled with the most dyszusting filth, bad turned green and biack and yellow in tho sun. A ragged young urchin of seven oreight amused himself by throwing a living skeleton ofa kitten into this pool, while two or taree mothers, one with a child at her breast, looked on and laughed. The filth was cer- tainly the least revolting part of this spectacle. The ash boxes—that is, the oli pots, tubs, cans, pails, slop bnckete-——were flowing over. Some were barely visivie in the midst of the surrounding filth which rose on all sides ko miniature mountains. Now, all this, with the exception of the Fitter, the child and tho three mothers is attributable to the City Inspector, the Com. missioner of Streets and Lamps end the pyliee. Tae fol- lowing are the rules and ordinances under which cack of these efficials is authorized ty act:— The City Inspector shall take all a aaah tec a A Sern, ye York, ard to cause it to be forthwith removed. The Commissioner of Streets and Lamps ‘to enable the Common Council to make such provision in respect to the cleaniog of streets as the public interest may require, ia hereby directed to reportto the Common Counell on’ or before the 20th of June next ® plau for the cleaning of streets, with « draft of an ordinauce adopted to carry the same into eitect.”” Has this been done? and if so, has the plan been a failure? “They”? (they police, “must arrest all persons found Ubrowing ashes, offal, vegetab! arbage, dross, cinders, shells, straw, shavings, dirt, Mth or rubblsh of any kind whatever, in’ any street, lave, alley, or public place in the city of New York.” ‘This certainly is comprehensive and expiiéit enough, but it has become @ dead letter in consequence of the neglect of the police to perform their duty. Cecar and Pine streets are in a iilthy condition, particu. larly that part which runs from Greenwich to West. The residents have marle several fruitios attempts to sweep the garbage and dirt from before the door in little Leaps, but the heaps have beem levelled and their ingredionts scattered over the streots by horses and carts. This is clearly the fauit of the Commissionerfgof Streets and Lamps, who bas ia big department “a bureau for clean ing the public streets,”” and whoge duty isis to have the dirt in both these streets removed. Washington street. near Rector, is almost intolerable except to the inbabitants, in consequence of the flith and the stench. There was one unoccupied cellar, the deor of which was partly closet with the view of shutting ia the foul miasma which was engendered in it, and which escaped from every chink and opening in the dilapidated door. The City Inspector or one of bis wardens must Jook into that Cellar, see that its contents are cleaned out, and tbe whole establishment thoroughly purided. While looking into an alley way which, from its con- dition appeared to be a common receptacle for the dirt of the houses on either side, we were accosted by the Health War¢en of tue First ward, when the foll»wing in teresting dialogue occurred :-— Herarin Warpex, looking at the note book and parcel of the Hxzarp Commissioner—You are from the Heraty office, | presume’ Herp Stexer Cosnussionen—“Yea, sir? 1, W.—*1 ooking into the condition of the streets /" H. 8, C.—"Yes, sir,” i, W.—""Well, sir, Lam the Health Oficer, and I'm at- tending to that,” H. 8. C.—"f am very glad to see it, for this street and that alley certainly require attending.”” H.W.—i have been seeing to that already, and as soon as I find the owner | will have it cleaned and the whole concern shut up. We are ing along finely with the streets, now, and we'll soon have them fa good condition. Istart on my work every morning at ten o'clock, and it’s about three when I get through with my explorations. I then take the results dowa in my noie book and rey them to the City Inspector. H, 8. C.—I wish you every success. Goxl gmorning, sir. H. W —Good morning, And 80 we parted, each satisfied that that portion of the First ward would be well reported. The localities next inspected were Bridge, Water, Cherry, Gold, Frankfort, Dover and Roosevelt. In Cherry: street, near its southern extremity, there are two alley bes called gRast and West Got! courts, in each of which there are from thirty to forty five story houres, Each coart runs back toa distance of two or threo hun- dred feet from the street, and is a little more than ten feet Both courts are, to all appearances, very clean, the sme! which aseaits the passer by is excoeding!; nauseating. Here we are certain the City I wit und fo work for the Health Officer the ward which hi these courts. This brought our tour of in- spection to a close, ani we were heartily givd of it, for mere revolting, sickea! dis ,_« artening sights we bave seldom seen, even in New York. ir. The Deputy Health Officer at Quarantine. The report that Dr. Martindale, the Deputy Health (1 cer at Qvarantine, was attacked with yellow fever op last Satureay, and that he is at present sick with this infec. tious disease, is incorrect. On Saturday Dr. Martindale visited over fifty veeselr at Quarantine, and, by the fa- tigue and protracted exposure to the hot sun from riding from vessel to vesse! in an open boat, was at length over. come. The attack was, however, buta severe form of intermittent fever, and yesterday he bad nearly ro- covered. City Politics. Last evening, pursuant to an invitation from the Empire Ciub, all the officers of the diferent Buchanan Clabs of the city, with the exception of the Twenty-first ward club, mot at the Empire Club headquarters, in Canal street. Captain Rynders presided. After various propositions were made and diseuseed, it was finally voted to have a nd public procession of all the different Sieve ant associations of the city on the srond foein of next November. It was further voted that to perfect the preliminary ar ‘ts for this demonstration, a —s three delegates from each club sheuld be held pire Club room, a week from next Friday even- ing. To join in this movement the President was author. ized to invite Buchanan Clubs of Brooklyn and Williams of burg.

There are two important features in the news -— Ist, Mr. Dallas’ proposition affecting the Ce: rai American question; 2d, the progress of the rev )..- tion in Spain. The Emperor of France had ordereda Freak force to assemble on the Spanish frontier, as a m-- sure of precaution. Narvaez and other adherents of ex-Queen Christina were also hastening to tae frontier. According to the Paris correspondent of Le Nord, of Brussels, the special commission appointed by the Emperor Napoleon some time ago, to exam'..¢ into another delicate family matter—the differences between the Princess of Canino and her husbani— has now decided upon the still more important quea- tion of the validity of Prince Jerome's first mar- viage with Miss Paterson, in America, a matter which was referred by the imperial nephew of the person most concerned to the same discreet coun !- lors. The result of the investigation is, that the va- lidity of the marriage, which, to the great offence of Napoleon I, was ulways maintained by the Pope, end a divorce consistently refused by the Holy See, is now confirmed by the Imperial Commission, and the consequence is, that a young sous-Lieutenant in the French army, the grandson of Prince Jerome and Miss Paterson, must be recognized as a iegité mate member of the Napoleon dynasty, and that Prince Napoleon, the son of Jerome by his second marriage, would be excluded. It is stated by the friends of Mr. Smith O'Brien that itis his positive determination to resist all at tempts to induce him to take part in the political affairs of that country, as he has made up his min to attend henceforward solely to the duties of a sident country gentleman. ie is said to have been wonderfully struck with the social changes which have taken place in Ireland during the six or seve years of his absence, and he freely admits that the progress of improvement has been much more rapid than could have been anticipated by the most san- guine expectants of the Irish millenium. Advices from Italy say Naples has accorded reci- procity, including the privilege of indirect trade on the same footing as the national flag to the shipping of Sweden and Norway, Sardinia, Prussia and the German Zollverein. A new treaty is being negoti- ated between Naples and Great Britain. ‘The Paris Moniteur publishes in its official colama, the senatus consultum concerning the regency of the empire. It bears the sanction of the Emperor. countersigned by the Ministers, and is dated Plom bieres, July 17, 1956. The British news is entirely unimportant. Par. liament would adjourn about the 30th of July. The Ministerial—Whitebait—dinner, at Greenwich, took place on the 19th, and this dinner is the usual fore- runner of an adjournment. Inthe House of Lords the Earl of Malmesbury called the attention of Parliament to the difficulty that had arisen between the governments of Brazil and Great Britain, from the discourteous conduet of the British Minister at Rio, on a matter arising out of the slave trade. Lord Malmesbury, in his speech, particularly insisted on the value of retaining the friendship of Brazil, in the case of a war with the United States. He concluded by moving for papers con- nected with the affair. Lord Clarendon explained the circumstances of the case. The British government had considered it right to support the Minister at Rio, but the Brazilian government was animated by no il! will towards Britain. After remarks by Lord Aberdeen, the papers were ordered to be printed. Lord Malmes- bury then asked Lord Clarendon whether it is trae that the Russian’ are dismantling the fortresses of Ismael and Reni, whether any other fortresses will be built on the Danube, and when a new Russian Minister might be expected to arrive in London. To these questions Lord Clarendon replied that there is no doubt the Rassians are demolishing the for- tresses, as they consider they have a right to do, previous to delivering them up to the Tarks. As regarded the new Russian Minister, Count Crepto- wich had received the appointment to London. In the House of Lords the Bishops’ Resignation bill, was, after a division, read a third time. The object of this bill is to permit the Bishops of Lon- don and Durham to resign, on pensions of £6,000 and £4,200 per annum. The House of Commons devoted a long while to discussion upon the Bast India Company's finances. James Sadlier had been formally summoned to ap pear in his seat in Parliament on a given day, pre paratory to declaring his seat vacant . Two hundred and fifty thousand rounds of Minie were shipped from Plymouth for the Cape of Good Hope on the 2ist of July. Accounts appear in some of the English papers o a revolt among the Queen's troops at Aldershot. The affair is now represented merely as a public house row, in which the Scotch and English fell upon and beat some of the German Jagers. William Dove, charged with having poisoned his wife by means of strychnine, at Leeds, has been found guilty, and sentenced to be hung.
