The amendment was rejected. Mr. Dixon then offered an amendment providing to that ability to read and write should be necessary qualify any person to vote who has not hitherto voted in the district. On the 13th the subject was resumed, and finally Mr. Dixon's amendment was rejected. An amend ment fur the punishment of persons giving or ac cepting bribes was then passed ' • various verbal amendments were made, and the bill was carried by a vote of 32 yeas to 15 nays. On the 14th Mr. Sprague introduced a joint resolution instructing the Secretary of the Navy to direct the naval °thous at Panama and Aapin wall to aid those engaged in the survey of the new route to the Pacific, through the isthmus of Darien, whenever practicable without expense to the government. The Senate then adjourned to the 3rd of January, 1867. In the House of Representatives, on the 12th, unanimous consent was asked for the introduction of resolutions assigning to the loyal States the right to tax national banks in lieu of State claims for war expenses, calling for information as to the withdrawal of national currency, and declaring that the withdrawal of more than four millions a month would not add to the general welfare ; that the constitutional amendment is the most concilia tory offer that the rebel States could expect, and that the theory of universal amnesty ought to be discouraged by every loyal patriot. In the house, on the 14th inst., Mr. Kamera introduced a bill to authorise the construction of a line of telegraph under the direction of the post-office department. Mr. Washburn, of Illinois, also introduced a bill for the construction of a government telegraph from Washington to New York city. Mr. Julian in troduced a bill providing civil governments for the districts lately in revolt against the United States, and for the restoration of said districts to their forfeited rights of States of the Union. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala bama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiaxia, Texas, and Virginia are to be erected into temporary and territorial governments, the executive power to be vested in governors, to hold office until their successors shall be appointed and qualified, unless sooner removed by the President of the United States: They are to have the veto power. All the other machinery of territorial government is provided, including a Legislative Assembly and d e legates to Congress. The people, wider certain rules, (are authorised to form State governments, the constitutions to be submitted for popular ratifi cation. The electors are confined to the loyal male citizens of the United States who shall take and subscribe the oath of allegiance, but no person who has held or exercised any office, civil or military, State or Confederate, under the rebel usurpation, or who has voluntarily borne arms against the United States, shall vote, or be eligible to be elected ' as delegate to the Convention ' Mr. Stevens introduced a bill to re-establish ' civil government in North Carolina, stating that lie did so at the request of several gentlemen from that State. The bill was read twice, and referred to the Committee on Territories. It provides for a convention of loyal citizens, to be held at Raleigh on the 20th May next, to frame a new State con stitution, to be submitted to Congress for amend ment, ratification, or rejection. The bill recounts the qualifications necessary for eligibility to sit in the convention, &c. The New York Herald says: The important bill for the reconstruction of North Caro lina from the very foundation, which Mr. Stevens intro duced in the House of Representatives, is the last, most thorough, and we think final plan of settling the whole question of Southern restoration. It is comprehensive, and both liberal and conservative at the same time.

Letters from Mazatlan and Guaymas give no later news. A number of liberal troops had otzupied Coloma. They were saidto be 3,000 strong. The report of the death of General Placido Vega was unfounded. He was with Juarez at Chihuahua. An Acapulco letter, dated Dec. 4, from General Montenegro to the Mexican Imperial Consul at San Francisco, Oates that there is no truth in the report that the Imperialists intended to evacuate that place, and says that no official account has been received there of the capture of Coloma. The Imperial General Oronoz still occupied part of the state of Oajaca, and at Tehuantepec the Imperial Colonel Toledo defeated a body of liberals who went from Oajaca to attack him. Per contra, pa ssen g ers by the Panama steamer report a fleet of French vessels in the harbour of Acapulco, one of which had a large number of troops on board, and report that the French would evacuate the place in a few days. The French commander had attempted to levy contributions on the town of Acapulco and the property of the Pacific Steamship Company, but the arrival of the United States steamer stopped the proceedings. It was also said at Coloma that the French were defeated near Tehuantepec, three hundred of whom reached the coast and sent to Mazatlan for relief. The North Carolina Legislature has in both branches rejected the constitutional amendment ; Altelower Rouse by a vote of 93 to 10, and the Senate by a vote of 44 against 1. North Carolina was considered more favourable to the amendment than any other Southern State. In the Georgia Legislature a resolution to ap point commissioners to visit Washington, to ascertain upon what terms Congress would allow a complete restoration of the Southern States, was laid on the table by a decided vote. Governor Fletcher, of Missouri, has stationed 34 companies of cavalry in Jackson and Lafayette counties in that State, virtually establishing martial law. He announces, however, that the troops will be withdrawn whenever the laws can be enforced without them. datics..• DEAN STANLEY ON CHBISTM. AS AND ITS ASSOCIATIONS - Yesterday morning the Very Rev. Dr. Stanley, the Dean of Westminster, preached a most interesting sermon to the Abbey. selec ting for his text the 9th chap ter of the prophecy of Isaiah, verse s—" For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise and garments rolled in blood, but this shall be with burning and fuel of lira For unto us • child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder ; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty Cod, the Everlasting Father, the Prises of Peace." After an allusion to the nistorical circumstances connected with the text, he said the day on which they wemassembled recalled an event in the history of that place of which that also was the anniversary, and that abbey the scene. Some present might remember. that last year they celebrated in that abbey, on Innocents'-day, the 800th anniversary of its foundation by the last hereditary Saxon king. They had now advanced another year, and on that day (Christmas -day) they commemorated the 800th anti venary of the tint coronation celebrated in that abbey —the coronation of William the Conqueror. That coro nation was so remarkable, not only as being the fast in a long unbroken aeries which had since been one of the chief glories of Wesininster Abbey but from its own intrinsic interest, and the marvellous lessons it conveyed, that it would not be without use for him to describe it. A great battle, which had decided the fate of England, had been fought in October. William entered London as a stran ger and a conqueror, but he was determined to mount the throne according to all the forms which ancient usage had prescribed. On that great Christmas festival, the usual coronation day of Angle-Saxon princes, in fikull 4es4_ elf Jet tini nas then . acensdnred—.lhe caPilid Of England, d with his courtiers and his army in the newly-litt e r e d abbey. He took his stand at the altar beside King Edward's torah, an indomi table conqueror, successor to the frail fantastic prince of whom he ',poke last year, Edward the Confessor. Outside, in the gardens, were stationed the Norman cavalry ; inside the abbey were the Norman nobles and the Saxon people, distinct as French and English, but nevertheless feeling an equal interest in the events of that day. At that time the question was addressed to those present—to the Nor mans in French, by a French prelate, the Bishop of Con stance—to the Saxons by an English prelate, whether they would have King William to reign over them. Each returned a shout of welcome ; but the shout was so loud, and the discord of the two rival languages so as to arouse the Norman soldiers, who peat burst into the church. A wild panic ensued, then came a bloody massacre, and the day ended in wild confusion. The abbey was left almost empty, but the king and the I , assistant clergy stood by the side of the altar, end for the first time the Conqueror was ten ificd and trembled from I head to foot in an extremity of fear.
