then have the party speeches on such bills
as should be left, as they applied as well to
to one bill as another. The upshot of all
this was that Mr. Weller was allowed to re-
sume the floor and go on with his spcech.
This was on Friday. On Saturday, Mr.
Weller concluded, and Mr. Brown of Miss.
followed with a similar speech, which he
concluded at the hour of adjournment, and
Mr. Everett of Vermont obtained the floor.
On Monday, it. Everett spoke at some
length, maintaining, first, that the Adminis-
tration party was responsible for this partisan
debate, having commenced it, and, secondly
that it would be the means of shedding
much light on the public mind. Thence he
went on to speak in general opposition to the_
conduct and policy of the Adminis:ration.—

and finally passed. The C_U”'°.n°Y P°l'°Y
of the Administration. especially the (‘Slab-

discussed by M85313 Clay °f K3” and Pres‘
ton on one side, and Messrs Buchanan, Ben-
ton, and Brown on the other. It was stated
that these Branch Mints cost as much as
they coin. . _ ,
A bill granting Prcsumption Rights to
actual settlers on the Public lands has also
passed the Senate. (We believe to be oiily
a reward of the‘ Presumption Law, which
has expired by original limitiition.l_ Mr.
Clay of Ky. spoke earnestly in opposition to
its passage, and to the principle of Preemp-
tion. He thought it wrong to pass laws in
terdicting persons from settling on the
Public Lands without buying them, and
then pass another law rewarding them for
violating the first. If Preemptions are to be
granted, he thought they should at least be
confined to citizens, native or naturalized, of
the United States. I-Iis suggestions were
not sustained, and the bill passed in its orig-
inal shape: Ayes 26*} Nocs 9.
Mr VVall, Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, has rcpoi'te'l a bill to establish a
uniform system of Bankrtiptcy throughout
the United States. It appears that three
Members of the Committee are in favor of
bringing Banks under the operation of any
General Bankrupt Law which shall be pass-
ed, while the other two believe such a course
would be improper and dangerous. The
bill reported by the majority makes no ex-
ception, we belicvc, in favor of Banks; and
we understand that Messrs. Benton, VVulkcr
of Miss. Allen of Ohio, and many others will
vigorously oppose any bill which shall not
apply with equal rigor to C0l‘p0l‘::ll0nS and
individuals. Memorials in favor ofa Bank-
rupt Law are presented almost daily, and
their purport briefly discussed.
A great number of private bills were con-
sidered by the Senate on Saturday, and final-
ly passed on Tuesday.
The bill granting the State of Michigan
100,000 acres of the Public Domain where-
witli to construct :1 Canal around the Soult
St. llrlai-ic, has been dcinolisliedby a speech
of Mr. Clay and 1'£‘C0lTlmlll.Or'l.
On \Ve.'lnesday, Mr. Clayton of Ky. by
direction ofa majority of the Judicary Coin-
t)Tlllt.‘G, reported to the Senate :1 bill to estab-
lish a uniform system ofBunkruptcy through-
.o:it the United States. This bill contem-
pltitcs only the case of voluntary B:inki‘upt-
cy, or of persons applyiiig for the applica-
tion of its provisions. and is more strictly on
llnsolvciit Law. Mr. lV;ill stated that the
grninority oflhe. C-oniinittcc did not concur in
jihis, but would insist on a General Bankrupt
* lat.-.'. giviiig power to Creditors as well as
; i:li‘l)l.Ol'S, and especially taking cognizance of
;:.:.r (.‘-orpoi°:itioiis. Mi‘. Clay of Ky. thought
{in Insolvent Law and a law giving Credi-
tors summary p'o"iver to wind up the estates
of Debtors, and a law compulsory on Cor-
poratioiis, were (ll.-tinct propositions, and
should be considered seperately. The sub-
ject is to be made a Special Order for an
early day.
Mr. Bt-nton’s bill to reduce the Fishing
Bounties, the drawback on refined sugar, &c.
was advocated by the move: at great length.
Messrs Anderson and Hubbard made a few
remarks.
In the House, on attcmpt was made to a-
bolish ihc Committee on Public Expendi-
tures, which was opposed by Mr. J. Q. Ad-
ams. He said if that Committee had done
its duty in former years it would have saved
millions to the people. The only objection
to the Coniuiittee was that its duties were
not perfoi'mcd. The hour of one arrived,and
the House passed to the order oftlic day.
The debate on the Appropriation bill,
which had been protracted to a late hour the
preceding night, chiefly by Mr. Jameson of
Mo. in a speech intended to show the unfit-
ness of Gen. Harrison for Prcsident—-that he
is an abolitionist, &.c. &(:.—was kept till 8
o'clock this evening by Messrs. Davis ofKy.
Reed of Mass’ Hopkins of Va. and Corwin
of Ohio on “ Log Cabins and Hard Cider”
and such pertinent topics. Mr. V1’Kay of
N. C. obtained the floor for 'I‘hursday.—It
is not probable that the bill will be disposed
of this week.

No more Steamboat E:z:plosi0ns.——A pat-
ent Safety Guard for steam boilers has been
invented by Mr. Evans. It consists of a
scale by which the pressure of steam may
be acctiratr-ly ascertained and rcgulated. and
having an alloy of metals so situated that it
would fuse in case the heat of the boiler
would rise to such a degree as to endanger
the safety of the cngine, and by its fusion a
valve is permitted to open, allowing the
steam to escape. It is stated that a boiler
cannot possibly burst when protected in
this way. If the statement is correct, the
inventor deserves a monument."

ville, there have been, it is said, cattle and
hogs to the amount of $500 killcd. Vie have
heard of only one dog thus affected, and no
new cases of madness for several days. So
great is the alarm ofour inhabitants, that the
milkmen and butchers for the last three
weeks have been able to do but little busi-
ncss. There need, however, be no uneasi-
ness on this subject, as it has been decided
by cminent physiologists that the milk or
meat of rabid animals can be eaten with the
utmost impunity; though we must say that
a knowledge of the fact would not make ei-
ther sit any bctter on our stomach.
It is a fact not generally known, that by-

lVe'.’).cIc>"s D-iclz'ona.7'y/-——l\/Ir. H. Meidin-
gcr, of Frankfort in Germany, has written
and sent to this coiintrya book entitled, “An
Etymological and Comparative Dictionary
of thc Tcuto Gothic Languages.” In this
work he has often quoted as authority the
Dictionary of Dr. \Vcbster, whom he deno-
minatcs a 777'ofou.n(l Liizguist. The public
prints inform us that rt German scholar has
been induced, by the success of Dr. VVeb-
ster’s extensive researches into the origin of
languages, to follow his example, and en-
large the sphere of his investigation of the
same subject. A French writer and his son,
in compiling a complete dictionary of the
French language, and the compiler of a
Portiigncsc dictionary, are also making use
of Dr. ‘Wcbstei"s dictit nary as authority.
It now appears that Dr. Webster’s discov-
cries in the origin and formation of language
have attracted the notice of the literati of Eu-
rope, and form a new era in pliilology. The
effect will be. that many of the old lexicons,
dictionaries and ,c_rrammai’s of the languages,
will be gradually laid aside, like the old
books on medicine and school-divinity.
JVIcla7zc/to/y S/iipwrec/c.-—Thc brig Charles
Miller, Capt. I-latch, that arrived here to-day
fell in with, March 20th, (of the Florida
Reefs) the wreck of the schooner Emblem,
of New Bedford, from Aprilachicola, bound
to Havana. The E. sailed from Apalachi-
cola the 18th ult. and was thrown on her
beam ends by a gale, on the 25th. After
lying thus eight hours, her masts went by
the board, and she righted full of ivater.
I-lei‘ crew consisted, at the time of the dis-
aster, of Capt. Leonard Russell, Wm. Bar-
ing, Alex. Andrcws, Richard Singlcton,and
H. Lord. She had also a Mr. and Mrs. Ju-
dah, and their two sons, Charles H. Leland,
siipcrcargo, and Robert M. Lopez, as pas-
scngers. .
Capt. II. saved from the passengers. Mrs. ,
Judah and Lopez, and oftlie crew. Andrews,
Singleton, and Lord. Lopez, however, died
from exhaustion, soon after his rescue. '1‘hc
others had perished before relief came.
°l\'1l’. Judah was a theatrical gentleman.
His wife, throughout the four fearful days
she passed upon the wreck, had manifested
great energy of character. She assisted to
sustain her husband upon the wreck, and he
died in her arms, as did also one of her chil-
drcn; the other died in the rope by which
be was lashed. This spirit lasted her until
she was saved, when nature gave way, and
she sunk lifeless as it were upon the deck.
She states that, as she hung, with her feet in
the water, upon the wreck, constant vigi-
lance was necessary to draw them frequent-
ly up, as the sharks that swam infleets about
the wreck, were ever on the alert to seize

Oi-‘i«'icIAL Ri-:'ruit1\'s.-—-Tlie returns which
were made out last week by the ofiicial cati-
vasscrs, vary so little from the statements we
have already given to the public, that we deem
it inexpedieni lo fill up our columns again with
the vote of each town. In the ntficial canvass.
no returns were had from the towns ofGlasten~
bury, Lodyard, and Sionington. Including the
votes ofthese towns, not legally returned, Gov.
Ellsworth received 30,555 votes—Jolin M.
Niles, 25.983—Sc-altering I42»--which shows a
majority for the former over the latter candidate
of 4.572. over all 4.450. --

As much has been said by the Loco Focns
about their increase, we will. for their special
comfort, give the increase of both parties. that
by comparison they may form a conclusion from
their ratio of increase. how soon the State of
Connecticut will be converted to the low-wages.

of Mr. Van Buren.
In 1839 Ellsworth received 26.501 votes.
In 1840 Ellsworth received 30,555 votes.
Increase for Ellsworth, 3,964!
In 1839 Niles’ received 2-1.047
In 1840 Niles received 25.083
Increase for Niles. 1,936
It thus appears that Mr. E|lsworili’s majority
has more than tripled in one year, and that the
increase of \Vhig voters in ilie same time, as
compared with the increase of the Locos, has
been in ilie same proportion.
The list of Senators stand nearly the same as
heretofore stated. There is a change in the 7th
tllS1I’lCl.OWlng to the non- reception of the returns
from the towns of Ledyard and Stoningion,
which comprises a part oftlie 7th. Guy Stod-
dard is declared elccted instead of Asa Fish.
Mr. F. however, had a majority of the votes.
In the 16th district, about wlii-zh there was some
uncertainty, Eli Potter is reported elected.

we give below.

March 23d, to Messrs. Curtis and Vanderpoel.
Members of Congress from New York, request-
ing their elforts to procure the appointment ofa
Committee of Congress to look into hisdefalca
tions during Ilie recess. Mr. Price reiterates
that he is not a defaulier-—-that the government
is indebted to him! He denies any connection
with Mr. Swartoui in defrauding the~govern-
ment. Mr. P. is about to close his tour in Eu-
rope, which has excited so much suspicion and
gossip, and declares his intention of returning
home, when he will be ready to_aii,swer any in

see.fit_ to put to him touching his official con-

BALTIMORE Coi\'vr:N'rio:r.—li will be seen
by a notice of the State Central Committee in
anoilier place, tlia: the Young Men's National
Convention is to assemble at Baltimore on the
4th of next month. The day is not far distant,
and the town committees should attend to the
calling of meetings and Ilic appointment ofdol-
egates. The Baltimorcans are making season-
able prepar__2_i_t__ions for ilie multitude that ii is ex-
pected will assemble.
fl:f“‘A western paper says with much truth.
that “ the Democrats lost their popular war cry
when old Jackson went to (lie IIc7'mz°la_.¢,re " In
the name and history of Van Buren there i
nothing poetical. nothing national. nothing en-
lliusiastic. He is its prosaic as a cabbage hea ,
or a perfunied dandy twirling his watch chitin-,
looking through his eye glass, and swearin
“’pon honor.” The “butt-emlers," huge paws,"
"idomitables,” "roarers," and other rcwdies can
inspire ‘no popular enthusiasm. They are gross,
vulgar, meaningless barbarians. The name of
Harrison, and the reproduction of his glorious
deeds on the banks of the Tippecanoe river, will
strike the chord of every American heart, natu-
ralizcd or nzitive—Yankee, Irish. Scotch, or
Yorker. The Tippecanoe clubs—ibe '1‘ippeca-
noe songs—tbe Tippecanoe liurrlis, havelife,
and energy, and freshness, sufficient to arouse
burning ilirobs of the human heart, when’ thc
heroic deeds ofbattle are called up from the re-
collection of the past.”
PE.\'l\‘SYLV'AlV1A Ae.u.\'.—’1‘lieLegislature of
this State met on Friday the 17th inst. in obedi-
ence io the ['lf0f.'lDl'l:flll0D oflhe Governor. After
scvcral ineffectual attempts to introduce an ap-
propriation bill,a joint resolution passed both
houses authorising the Goveynor to effect a tem-
porary loan to meet the immediate demands on
the treasury, of $200,000, at an interest of five
per cent. A r.-solution was then adopted to ad-
journ to ilie 12th May.
FLORIDA.—-The latest news from this territo-
ry is up to the 10th inst. The exploits of an
expedition to the Ocklawaha, are the killing of
two Indians, and the wounding ofa t ' —the
capture of a halfdozen horses, and theideslru -.
tion of several spots ofplantain. This. together
with the previous news of killing and scalping
a squnw, comprise ilie sum total oflhe impor-
tant operations oflhe Florida army.
It would be an interesting fact to know the
exact number of dollars and cents each Indian
has cost the government since this inglorious
war commenced».
It is again asserted that the dogs are proven
to be unfit for the service for which they were
obtained.
L. White is no more. He died at his residence
on the 10111 inst. His eminent talents——bis po-
litical sagaciiy, and his inflexible integrity ac.
quired for him an enviable distinction in the
higher branch of the national councils, and
marked him out as an object of hatred and pro-
scription to the administration party.
