Here my fair witnesses commenced to
weep bitterly, wh_ile several of the jury look-

ply off my legal friend in his own cum.
‘I do not seek, sir,’ continued I ‘to take up
the time‘ of this court and jury, by adminis-
tering the Oath to all these witnesses. 1 am
afraid their heart-rendingdescription of this
, nefarious transaction (of which, beit remem-

unman us all; and your honor and this

summary justice upon the base wrctch who.
with a heart like Caligula, and :1 spirit like
Nero, could attempt to doom to bcggary and
shame, and perhaps to infamy, the beautiful
offspring of my unhappy, my too credulous,
too confiding client. Sir, in the spirit of a
liberal compromise, I will swear but it/tree

Here there ensued a new burst of anguish
from the daughters, and a corresponding and
prolonged excitement of the jury. My legal

FIRST
From the I\'cw- Yorker of Sa!ur(la_7/.
The Sessions of the last week have not
born productive. of striking results. The
most. important item, perliaps, is the defeat of
the Cumberland Road in the Senate, wliich
took place on Friday of Last week. Mr.
Soutlim-cl of N. J. on that day spoke in op-
position to the passage of the bill, and was
followed by Mr. Clay of Ky. on the same
side. Mr. C. stated that ho had hitherto ad-
vocated apropriatious for this Road and for
works of Internal Improvement gem-.*i'all_v.——
The Veto of Gen. Jackson on the Maysville
Road—which he rcg:1rr_lcd as but a branch of
tho Cuntberland Ro:id—and the acquies-
cence ofthe country in that Veto, had prac-
tically confined the construction of such
works by the Federal Government to the
three Status of Ohio Indiana and Illinois.—
He considered it unju:~:t to make improve-
ments in one section ofthe Union and rigor-
ously excludc them from others, and could
not vote to sustain that policy.
Mr. Clay pl‘0('.('.e‘(.lc(l to state political mas.-
ons for his vote. The three States iiiteresteri
in this measure were represented in Con-
gress by Dellcgations favorable ‘to the Ad-
ministration which (ls-nied improvements to
introducing troops into Canada or New
Brunswick, or erecting or repairing fortifi-
cations on- the .Northern' or Northeastern
Boundary, or by preparing naval armaments
on any of the great Northern Lakes or the
waters connected therewitli ; "and, also, what
preparations, if any, have been made by this
Government to put the United States, and
especially the Northern and Northeastern
frontier, in a state of defence.
On motion of Mr. Bruoos, _
Resolved, That the Committee on Manu-
factures be instructed to inquire‘ into the ex-
pediency of laying duties on imported wines,
foreign silks, silk worsted goods, and such
foreign articles of luxury that are now du-
ty free as come in competition with the
growth of our own soil, or the products of
our own labor, and yield no revenue to the
Government.
In the Senate ‘on Monday, :1 bill author-
ising the Presidcnt to raise an additional
corps offiftcen hundred men to serve agaitist
the Florida Indians was the chief topic of
discussion. l.t was finally engrossed fora
tliird reading.
No business was trauslatcd in either
House on Tuesday, on account of the de-
easc of the Hon. Thaddeus Br-tts,'Sen:1tor
from Connecticut. In announcing the fact,
Mr. Smith in the Senate and Mr. Osborne
in the House each paid a brief but eloquent
and _just tribute, to his talents and \'i!‘l11t'S.——

by a terrible tornado on the 24th tilt. In the

torn up; chimnics were 0_vertlii'own, and
several buildings were blown down. Among
its most iiieluiiclioly resul's was the (lentli.of

the city. The house in which she dwelt,
we are informed, was completely pl'OSll‘11l.r'(l

have been fifty or a hundred yards in width.

of the City without doing to it any material
injury. The full extent of its effects, how-

During the height ofthe storm, the clouds
were heaped in the west in magnificent sub-
limity; the wind roared furiously, and the
bail fell almost as large as pigCon’s eggs.
The damage done at the nuunery was
great. The whole building occupied as :1
rcfectory, with several" chambers, 52 feet in
length, and about 20 in breadth, was moved
cntirc-ly from its foundations, and partly over
thrown. It rested" on the brick wall ofa cel-

whirlwind forced the whole house bodily
forward, leaving the whole cellar. The
walls to- the leeward caved in, and the roof
came down on that side unbroken to thc

ing, but the Lady Superior and a number of
Sisters were sitting down to their meal.-—
Two of them, we believe, escaped from ‘the
falling house. The others fell with the
ruins, and were taken out with difficulty.

alarm bell to ring, and the neighbors came
promptly to their help. After a good deal
of labor, the ‘ladies were all got out alive,

intensity as those who looked to him as their

devoted husband, the children a fond and affec-

The announcpicnt in the House was made by
the Hon, Thomas B. Osborne, in the following
manner‘:
Mr. Speaker: The sudden and unexpected
death of my tlistinguislied friend, which has
just been announced to the House, has filled my
