she is the mother iv them, and ’twould be ori-

‘Away with you then,’ said I. ‘and bring

The Annexation Treaty/.—This treaty
was comittuntcati-d to the Senate, to day -by
the President. The message, transmitting
the Treaty, with the accotnpanying docu-
merits, was received as soon as the Senate
«net. ‘
'I‘he Senate went into secret session, and
remained there four hours, when they ad-
1otirned..
The treaty and documents ivil still remain
worifidential, until the injunction of sv
crecy is removed, which will no doubt be
in a few days.
The provisions of the Treaty are substan-
tiully as I have heretofore stated-excepting
ooly that the limitation of the ratification to
thirty days has been stricken out.
The President, to day, nominated Henry
Crock:-r as coll--ctor ofthe port of Boston.
The Tarzfl Bill-—-Mr. McKay moved,
accordingto notice, to take up the bill to
codify the existing duties; and in order _to
-o-cure a full attendance, moved a call of the
House, which was ordered.
The whole number finally collected was
I98.
The question was then taken. and decided in
the alfirmative; yeas I04. nrivs 94. So the
bill was taken up by a majority of ten.
TUESDAY. April 23.
In the Senate. to day after some unimpor-
tant lI)‘dIIPI‘S,,lv.II'. Wright resuied his speech
‘on the subject of the report ofthe Coinmittee
of Finance. He spoke, at great length, and
shit-fly with a view to show the injurious in-
fluence ofthe protective system in this and
in other countries, upon the interests of ope-
rative labor.
Fagltling in the House———A Police Oflicer
S/iot.——lnthe House. to day, Mr. Wright, of
Indiana, concluded his speech against the
protective Tariff
Mr. White, bf Ky. (late Speaker.) follow-
--d, on the other side: but dwelt chiefly on
ci-rt.iin popular political trpics. He defended
.\/Ir. Clay, with great address and aliility
from the stale ch urges of ‘bargain. intrigue
ind corruption,’ urged against him, in I825.
tlso againstthe charge, recently brought up,
that Mr. Clay had made a speech in Con-
gress declaring that. ‘if we could not have
negro slaves, we must have white slaves.’
Mr. Whitetoolt his seat. A conversation
arose among members around hitrt on thv
subjecl.antl it was remarked that all the char-
ges against Mr. Cl -y could be proved. Mr.
White, re»-king and hot from his speech, re-
plied in a rude manner. Mr R-tihbun re-
iterated the remark. to which t\lr. Vvhite re
tilled that it was false, or something to that
effect. Mr. Rathbun instantly struck him I
Mr. White returned the blow. The parties
lt.ttl commenced the conflict sitting. and were
soon on their feet and clinched.
A hundred members instantly interfered.
The Chairman hurriedly quit his post, and
the sp--alter to -It it. The Sergeant at Arms
s -izi-d. the mace and bore ‘that bauble’-——tht«
E-«igle—-aloft to the scene of action.
In the mean time, at p- rson, admitted, by
courtesy, upon the floor —-ti young man no.
med Moore. of Kentucky, and I am told. u
respectable man,-——rushcd into the. melee
trmt-d to the teeth. He was instantly aI'I'(‘.\-
MI and dragged out by members. Mr. Mc-
Caiislen, a metnber front 0. was cfficietit in
thrusting Mr. M-tors-—-the young gcritleriian
rifot-esztid, out of the door. Mr. Moore dreu
-'I pistol and fired, and the ball passed thron,i_3h
the [high of John “A. ‘Vin, one of the Police
\Vatch ofthe Capital. General Dodge seized
Mr. Moore, and it was with some I.I'Ol)l')le
that he. was prevented front doing further
mischief.
There was, as it happened, a large num-
ber of spectators. The galleries were crowd-
e.tl. The ladies were a little alarmed, and
were making a general movement to get out.
but they were advis.-d that itwas safest what-
ever might happen, to stay wherethey were.
The scenes shifted; the House was called
to order. Mr. Dromgonle after some grave
and appropriate remarks, moved that thu-
members concernv d in the fracas be brought
to [he bar ofthe House for trial
Mr. Saunders moved that a committee be
appointed to investigate the matter.
After some reniarlts and suggestions from
-’llIIt'l'i‘fII members, Mr \-Vhiie rose, and in
terms brief and happy. expressed his regret
-t what had passed. Mr. R=tibbtin followed
and spoke with perfect coolness, and in 3:
candid and manly manner, expressing his
deep regret at the occurrence; confessing
and apologising for his fault; blaming for it
his rash passion; dealing his respect and
kind feelings towards the member from Ky.
and submitting hitnselfentirely to the rebuke
of the House.
The combatttints shook hands. amidst loud
and general applause from the floor and llle
galleries.
Order being restored, Mr. Dromgoole said
it was useless. and would be injurious to
pursue the subject further. He withdrew
his motion.
Mr. Holmes had, be said, just entered the
Hall and did not witness the ufiray. But be
appealed to Heat-en—an appeal he seldom
made——against these outbreaks in the House
He felt it due to his constituents, to the
House, and to/the country, to submit the fol-
lowing resolution;
Risolved. that the Hon. John VVhite of
Ky, and Hon G. Rathbun, of N. Y. be ex.
pel./ed from this House.
In the course of Mr. White’s remarks a-
gainst the resolution, he took occasion to
state and to call upon the Reporters to notice
ll];iI.l.l1f"- young than, Mr. Moore of Ky. who
had been guilty of an outrage in tho Blouse
was utterly linknotvn to him, even by person.
Finally the House rejecting all other prop
ositions ordered that 11 committee of five mem-
bers be appointed to inquire into, and report
upon, the occurrences of the day.
The House then adjourned.

edgcd that he. did intend to kill Mr. McCaus-

he liked the picture Gallery first rate; that II
was very fine, and that. he came over on
purpose to see her Majesty. Darin’: this
dialogue the Queen's face was suflusetl with
laughter. She then sent the Lord in Wait.

witb her own hands. The General then
proceeded to display his varied ticqiiirements

These transatlantic morceua, which the ears
of royalty never, in all probability heard be

rm-tzingly. If erutui can ever be said to be
an inmate of a palace-, the Queen evidently
thinks the drolleri»-s of Tom Thumb an ef

with an elegant souvenir, made of mother of
pearl, and magnificently mounted with gold
and precious stones. On one side appear thr

on the other flowers in enamel and rubies;
the ltrge-st and most beautiful flower in thr

the Queen presented the G~-neral with a
beautiful gold pencil, having Tom Thutnb .-
initials engraved on the (‘Itii'rttlCl at the top.
At the close of the interview. Hi-r Maj -s
ty expressed herself warmly relative to th-
.-atisfaciion which she had derived from the
visit. Indeed the General is such a favorit-
at the palace, that he will, no doubt be a fre-

which must soon lito-rally make him ‘worth

‘—'-The editor of the Rocttt-. if, Dettiocrzii.
writing from artford, Ct._g’i,vr-s an account
of his visit to CoIlinsville,- about I5 miles
from H irtford, {nitrous for its manufacture of
axes, There are seven shops devoted to the!
various processes the axe must undergo
before it is firtislied for the market, and in all
are employed I45 men, who turn out eight
ltunrl-rerl‘tes every day. Notwithstanding
this imtttc-use supply, it is not equal to the
demand. A new process has been discover-
--d by which a hundred axes can be temper-
ed atonce, and that too after they have been
ground. The writer concludes with this
passage:
You will not be surprised when I tell you
that the town itt which this establishment is
located is Whig 2 to l.
The Hon. Jtil)ll.\V. Dana, l‘resideni of the
Senate of Maitie. oi the close ofthe Legislative

Sltoclt'.ing.—We are informed that one
of the most horrible occurrences we have
ever heard or read of. "Wk place in few d=i_\.S
ago in the lower part of the city, known as
Frogtown. It appears that a woman living
in that part of the city had occasion to go out
for a short time, leaving none in the housi-
but a small boy, and an infant in the cradle,
telling the boy to put the "child to sleep
again should-it awake before she got back.
As soon as be returned she asked the boy.if
the child had nwztlrcned. "Yes, moti”er.’
he replied. "and I put it to sleep." Tbv
mother thinking it had slept long enough,
went to wake it up, when she discovi-re-d it
was dead, and its brad horribly mangle-d.——
It appeared afterward that the boy. Ilncnn
«cious of the crime he was committing. ho
had taken it hammer and beat the child on
the head until the poor thing fell asleep in
'--rday morning the II‘ti'I‘nlOtlit*.It‘I' was dotin.

Salt River and its situation being alluded
to. good humortdty. in debate, the ul.ht'l' day
in the House of Representative, at Washing-
ton, Mr. Dronigoole (Loco) inquired wheth-
er there had been any survey of the river
alluded to in the am--ndment proposed. 'I‘o
this Mr. Schenck (Whig) replied, there had,
very recently by certain Connecticut Sur-
veyors who reported it in good condition for
Whig craft bound dawn, and in excellent
navigable order for Locofoco craft bound up.
and therefore he thought alpprtiprlations for
such no object unnecessary, as be con ld as.

part could be rtdicrl. upon!
