’Mr.‘C0pp, of Grotoii, thou,-._1;li't the number

Aflcrnoo7r.—Housc. resumed the consideration
of the tnoiiori made by Mr. Cleaveland in the
fvirirnnnn, to postpone the further action of the
House on the bill to repeal the small bill lawto
\Vt-dnesday afternoon next.
Mr. Parsons. of Hartford. in an able speech
illustrated and enforcetl the necessity of speedy
action on the subject. He contended that the
House -was fully prepared to meet the question
at this titne——tliat it was a question of public
policy. which has engaged the minds of the
community for a long time past--was perfectly
simple in its character. and needed no f|Jl'lllet‘
delay to come to a right understandingofit. He
for one was desirous that itshould be disposed of
without further delay.
M r. Phelps. of Manchester, opposed the post-
poncnieiit. He thought that there ‘was not a
member ofthe House that had not made up his
mind on the subject. The people of the state
had made up their triirids also. \Vhat, furio-
stance. was the voice of Windham County on
this subject. A majority of one. in a single in-
stance, was the only exception to a unanimous
voice in favoroftlie repeal oftliis measure. He
could see no good reason for the postponement.
Mr.Tyler, of Brooklyn. followed in opposition
to the postponement and in reply to the remarks
of Mr. Cleaveland. flinging hot shot in any
uaniity. The arguments of Mr. C. were liand-
led with much freedom and severity.
Mr. Cleaveland rejoined. cancelling the debt
he owed- Mr. Tyler with the same coin.
The debate was further continued by Messrs.
Kibbe, and Halsey, when the question was taken
by yeas and nays, and tliereappeared yeas 57,
trays 139. So the House refused to postpone.
Mr. Cleaveland offered an amendment. pro-
viding that ifaiiy bank shall fail to redeem any
bill under the denomination of five dollars in
specie when demanded at its counter, it shall
forfeit the sum of fifty dollars. Mr. C. support-
ed his amendment at considerablelength.
Mr. Parsons, of Hartford, opposed the amend-
ment. contending that its adoption would leave
the beriksjust where they found them-‘with the
exception of the penalty proposed to be infltCled-
Mr. Dixon. of Etifield. offered an amendment
to the amendment of Mr. Cleaveland. striking
out all after the word provided, and inserting
“ that nothing in this act shall be construed to re-
lease the banks from their legal obligation to re-
deem their bills in specie.” '
Mr. Cleziveland fuiilier supported his amend-
merit. maintaining its necessity and importance,
and aiiimadverting upon the course of Mr. Dixon
'ofC_ai;olino Upsoii and oilicrs. to committee on
l plidjndiciary ; of Gordon W.Avery. for discharge
-a ‘. s.
in introducing his amendment.
Mr. Dixon said that when he wished advice
from Mr. Cleaveland, ho wonld__iiiakefapplica-
llon.
The debate was still further coriliiiiied by
Messrs. Parsons, of Hartford, and M’Curdy.
against, and M r. Cleaveland in favor of the
anieridnient. Mr. C. concluded his remarks by
ninviiig the years and trays on the qiicstiori ofllie
adoption of the amendment cfhl r. Dixon. The
House being divided on the question, theme-
tion was l():l.
Mr. Dtilion llieu addressed the House. review-
ing and severely rclinkiiig the conduct of Mr.
Cl('ZlV(:l:lll(l. in relation to the bill hr-fore the
House, which he seemed to think any thing but
decent and proper.
Mr. Cleaveland replied, rcpudiating the ini-
pulatioiis of Mr. Dultori, (l€ll()llUClng_q,lllt‘lll as a
gross personal attack, and appealing to the House
to bear witness to the propriety ofthe course he
had ptir.-tied.
Mr. Duitoii ably rejoined, defeiiiliiig his for-
mer remarks.
The question being now taken. the amend
mom of Mr. Dixon to the ariiendiiieut of Mr.
Cleavelzind was atl()plPtl.
The question was then taken oil the nnicud-
iiient of Mr. Cleaveland as iiiiirieiided. Lost.
The bill in its original forrii being now before
the House. after some ltirtlier remarks from
Messrs. Phelps and Cleavelarid. the question was

was laid in ashes at the time of writing, and
the fire was then ragiiig. It broke out at a
quarter past eight o’clock, on the evening of
the 27th ultimo. in a. paint store on the
westez-ii side King street, corner of Bares-
ford. The wind blowing strongly from the
South west, blew the flames diagoiially across
King street, and from thence nearly the whole
section of the city above Bci'esford st. up to
Society st. and east of King st. to the Bay was
nearly all destroyed. The fire also extended
four or five blocks west of King st. Among the
buildings coiisuincd are a number of churches,
the new theatre, the splendid new hotel rocciitly
erected, and the whole market except. the fish
market. A large number of houses were blown
up but to no purpose. All the powder in the
city w:_,s exl,in.iistcd.~and all the water in the
pumps, and the people \V8lll'll.‘(l with it whole
niglit’s incessant a:.d unavaiiing toil, found
lll(}nlS(3lVl‘S unable to make but a feeble re-
sistance to the flames. A number of pcrsoizs
were killed by the blowing up of the houses and
tlirowing the furniture into the streets.
La(cr.—Tlie yesterday’s mail brings further
particulars. It is estimated that one thousand
buildings have been destroyed. The _ loss in
property is supposed to exceed three millions of
dollars. Among the killed are named Col.
J. Stearlinan, Naval Ofiicr-r, Frederick Scliiriele,
Engineer, and Mr. J. S. Pcart.
Of the property buriii, $1,200,000 was insur-
ed in Charleston. which ollices will pay about
00 per ceiit.—-Pallaal.

One Hundred and Twenty five Lives Lost.
CINCINNATI, April :25.
It becomes again our painful duty to record
one of the most awful and destructive occur
rences known in the terrible and fatalcatalogue
of steainboat accidents.
This afternoon. about six o’clock, the new
and eh.-gaiit steamboat Moselle, Captain Periii,
left the wharf of this city (full of passengers)
for Louisville and St. Louis, and with a view of
taking a family on board at Fulton. about a mile
and ailialf above the quay, proceeded up the riv-
er, and made fast to a lumber craft for that pur-
pose. Here the family were taken on board,
and during the whole time of the detention the
Captain was holding on to alltlie stcnin he could
create, with the intention of showing offto the
best advantage the great speed of the boat as she
passed down the whole length of the city.-
'l‘lie Moselle was a new brag boat, and had re-
cently made several exceedingly quick trips to
and from this place.
Soon as the family were taken on board frorri
the raft, the boat shoved off; and the very mo-
ment her wheels made the first revolution, her
boilers burst with a most awful and astounding
noise. equal to the the most violent clap of
thunder. The explosion was dest.uctive and
heart-rcndingin the extreme, as we arenssrured
b r it gentleman who was sitting on his horse on
the shore. waiting to see the boatstart. Heads,
limbs, bodies, and blood. were flyirigtlirougli the
air in every oirection, attended by the most hor-
rible shrieks and tfiroans front the woiiiiderl and
the dying. The boat, at the moment of the ac-
cident, was about thirty feet. front the shore, and
was rendered a perfect wreck. She seemed to be
torn all to flinders as thegeiitlemen’s cabin,cnd
lier hurricane deck (the whole length) was eti-
tirely swept away. The boatitriinediatr-ly lie-
gan to sink rapidly, and float, ivitliastroiig cur-
rent, down the river, at the same time gr.-tting
farther from the shore.
Tlio Captain was thrown by the explosion on-
tirely into the street, and was picked up dead
and dreadfully mangled. Another man was
thrown entirely through the roof of one of the
houses, and limbs and fragirieiits of bodies scat-
tered atiout the shore in heart-reading profosior.
Soon as the boat was discovered to be sinking.
the passengers who remained iinhnrt in the
gent.lem0ll’S cabins, became panic struck, and
with afalirily l1llaCC0lll]l.8.l)lt.‘,_]l1ll![)C(l into the
river. Being above the ordinary business parts
of the city, there were no boats at hand excepting
a few large and tiiimanageable wood fl its, which
were carried to the relief of the siilferers as
soon as possible, by the persons on the shore.—
Many were drowned, however, before they could
be resented from a watery grave, and many sunk
who were not seen afterwards.
\Ve are told that one little boy on shore was
seen wringing his hands in agony, iniploring
those present to save his father, mother, and
three sisters, all of whom were struggling in
the water to gain the shore, but whom the poor
little fellow had the awful misfortune to sea-
perish. one by one, almost within his reach.-
resoluiion was referred to the committee on the _
care, and will be sold at a small i:ll\‘llIlC('.
Picked up alive. floating down the river on one
of the fragments of the hurricane deck.

Army. and brother-in-law of our estimable fel-
low-citiaen, W. H. Hughes, of the Pearl Street
House) is doubtless among the slain, as he was
known to liavc been (in board, and some pieces
of the military emit he had on were picked up
among llie frugrnt tits. ‘

We are unable, as yet, to particularize any
