G [PRICE 41). STAMPED 5D •] 1 starting of the vessel next autumn. All d ou bt s have, however, been sbt at rest by the ar r i va l o f th e present shaft, which is now being completed in the turning lathe. There are not many lathes in the kingdom of sufficient size and strength to turn a shaft of this kind, since apart from its own weight, it has counterbalancing masses of iron to relieve the strain on the lathe in turning it round, which brings up the whole mass to about 60 tons. This is turned slowly at about one revolution per minute, the cut ters, of which there are two, one at each side, shaving off long thin strips of the cold metal at the rate of about one hundred.weight per hour. By the com pany turning this shaft for themselves, they effect an immense saving per hundred-weight in its entire cost, which in a piece of metal-work of such size, and one in the manufacture of which so many risks had to be encountered, of course amounts to a con siderable sum. With regard to the future of the Leviathan herself, there is perhaps no question more frequently asked by the public than that of where she is to be docked in case of her wanting repairs or her bottom requiring cleaning. This question, how ever, has, we are glad to say, been satisfactorily decided, though not quite as regards dockin4 hpr. There are some docks, we believe, in Liverpool whicb are long enough "to take in the Leviathan if their entrances were only wide in proportion ; but, as they all fail in this latter important particular, the great vessel when she wants cleaning will have to be gridironed, as the screw colliers are—that is, run aground on rows of piles laid along the river's side for the purpose, and the tide of course will ' leave her dry at each low water. .A spot has been chosen for this purpose in the Mersey, be tween Woodside and Birkenhead, • and to this place the Leviathan will be taken as often as she needs repairs or cleaning. It is almost a pity, however, that no "gridiron" of sufficient length could be formed or made in the Thames or in any other river in the kingdom but the Mersey, which is one of the most rapid and dangerous, and - in which, we should think, the Leviathan, even with all the aid which Trotman's anchors give her, must run more or less of risk either in navigating or staying at anchor. ---.---) ~~ PUBLICATIONS.

THE FIGHT IN CONGRESS. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times gives the following account of the fracas in the House of Representatives : " The telegraph has already given you a general statement of fact that we had a grand row in the House of Representatives at about 4 o'clock this morning, but some additional particulars may be found of interest. The Auti-Lecompton men yes terday determined to have a vo'e at once upon the proposition of Mr. Harris to refer the Constitution of Kansas to a select committee, with instructions to investigate the frauds alleged to have been com mitted in connexion with the formation of that in strument and the electien held under it. The Leconiptonites, upon counting noses, found them selves decidedly in the minority, and so determined to stave off the vote until they should have had time to consult, an I, if possible, effect changes enough to save defeat. So they began the game of factious opposition, resorting to calls of the "Yeas" snd. "Nays" on motions to adjourn, calls of the house, &c. This they kept up from 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon until 6 this morning, the Anti- Lecompton men pressing steadily for a vote on the previous question, and expressing their determina tion never to yield to it. The Douglas Democrats were as firm and unyielding in the contest as the most faithful of the Republican leaders, and deserve all praise for their conduct-. "Everything passed off, however, in excell,nt temper, and with less excitement than is usual to night sessions, until near four o'clock this morn ing. Mr. Grow, who is the recognised Repub lican leader in the house, went over to the Democratic side of the hail to talk with Mr. Hick man, of Pennsylvania. As he turned to leave Mr. Quitman rose and asked to make an explanation. Mr. Grow objected to any speeches which were out of order, and then started down the aisle with a view of running to his own, seat, when Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, called out to him, asking, Why don't you go over on your own side, God d— you, if you want to object ? What business have you over on this side, anyhow or something to ti at effect. "Mr. Grow replied, quietly and coolly, saying, This is a free hall, and I have the right to object from Any part of it when I choose.' Then, in re sponse to au appeal from Mr. Harris, of Indiana, Mr. Grow withdrew his objection, in order to per mit Mr. Quitman to go on. By this time Keitt, who seems to have supposed that he had only to look ferociously at a Northern man to wilt' him— and who presumed, perhaps, upon the fact that be is a more athletic man than the gentleman from Pennsylvania—had crossed over to meet Mr. Grow. As the latter was about to pass Keitt inquired in a ruffianly tone, ' What did you mean by that an swer which you gave me just now " I meant preciseiy what I said—that this is a free hall, and I will olsjaet from whatever part of it I see fit,' was Mr. Grow's reply, as he looked his assailant calmly in the faoe. The chivalrous and gentlemanly South Carolinian returned to the charge, saying, show you, you d—d Black Republican puppy !' Mr. Grow, still unexcited, answered, You may think me what you please, Mr. Keitt; but let me tell you that no nigger driver shall come up from his plantation to crack his lash about my ears 1' We'll see about that,' said Keitt, as he caught Mr. Grow by the throat. Mr. Grow threw his assailant's hand off, and Mr. Reuben Davis, also of Mississippi, who had fol lowed Mr. Keitt, evidently with the intention of restraining him, interposed at once for peace. "This ended the difficulty for an instant, but almost immediately Keitt broke from Mr. Davis and rushed upon Grow, seizing him again by the throat, when the latter plant e d a blow under the left ear of the gentleman from South Caro lina,' which sprawled him fairly upon his face on the floor. Mr. Keitt picked himself up, and after some ineffectual and random passes left the hall, and was seen no more until after the melee ended, except by some friends who sponged his bruises. I understand he is under the impression that he 'stubbed his toe,' and so fell. The mistake certainly is excusable, for the blow which he provoked from Mr. Grow's long-suffaiing patience was so severe that he would hardly be expected to have any very clear recollection of the circum stances " These transactions, which take so much time to relate, were the work of a very few minutes, and all occurred on the Democratic side of the House. When the blow was struck a dozen Southern men rushed towards the parties, some doubtless to keep the peace, and others to have a hand in the fight. Barksdale of Mississippi, M`Qtteen, of South Caro lina, Craige, of North Carolina, and Reuben Davis were prominent in the scrimmage. Barksdale spe cifically states, and I doubt not truly, that his only object was to separate the combatants. He and other opponents seized upon Grow at once, as Keitt was already hors de combat. To gentlemen on the other side of the hall itlooked very much as though the gentleman from Pennsylvania was about to be cut into mincemeat, and the Anti-Lecompton men rushed over in a body to the resolve Foremost c one Mr. Potter, of Wisconsin, a very athletic, compact man, who bounded into the centre of the excited group, striking right and left with tremendous vigour. Washburne, of Illinois, and his brother,.o of e Wisconsin, also were prominent, and for a mi n u t e or two it seemed as though we were to have a _ Kil kenny fight on a magnificent scale. k Barksdale bmarev b er d e bold of Grow when Potter struck him blow, supposing that he was hurting ne n i g supposiog it gentle man. Barksdale turning Grow, and struck out was Elihu Washburneet whot harounde gentleman struck him f r o dropped m Ii li. ashburne perceiving the at tacknois. brotherCadwallader also made air dash at Mr. upon for the purpose h.

' e s r w s force against the unresisting wadader's left hand, and his right fist expended itself with tremendous dr. This ludicrous incident did much towards re storing good nature subsequently, and its effect was heightened not a little by the fact that in the ex citement of the occasion Barksdale restored his wig wrong side foremost. "There seemed to be very little method in the struggle, and it was hard to tell who was in for earnest and who was trying to restore order. The Speaker yelled and rapped for order without effect. The Sergeant-at-Afms stalked to the scene of battle, mace in hand, but his American eagle' had no more effect than the Speaker's gavel. Owen, Love joy, and Lamar, of Mississippi, were pawing each other at one point—each probably trying to per suade the other to be still. Mr. Mott, the grey haired Quaker representative from Ohio, was seen going here and there in the crowd. Davis, of Mis sissippi, got a severe but accidental blow from Mr. Grow, and various gentlemen sustained slight bruises and scratches.

Yesterday upwards of 200 recruits arrived at Chatham from the recruiting districts of London, Bristol, and Liverpool, for the purpose of joining the various East India depots at that garrison. The number of recruits and volunteers joining at Chatham now averages nearly 500 per week. The reinforcements for the 18th Royal Irish, 51st Light Infantry, 83d, and 86th Regiments, to the number of 150 men of all ranks, left Chatham yes terday•morning for Southampton, to embark on board the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Sultan for Alexandria, from which port they will proceed by the overland route to Kurra chee. The number of troops at Chatham still under orders to proceed to India exceeds 1,500 men of all ranks. The Commander-in-Chief has ordered a reorga nization of the depots, comprising the three batta lions of infantry at Chatham, which are now com posed as follows-Ist Battalion, under the com mand of Col. 11. Jervis, 7th Royal Fusileers, 24th, 27th Enniskillens 32d, 35th, and 53d Regiments ; 2d Battalion, under the cernmand of Col., R. N. Phillips, 10th, 20th, 23d Royal Welsh Fusileers, 29th, 52d Light Infantry, and Gist Regiments ; 3d Battalion, commanded by Lieut.-Col. C. E. Fairtlough, Bth, 70th, 75th, 81st, 84th, and 94th Regiments. The folowing alterations have been made in the staff appointments of the battalions— Capt. R. H. Travers, 24th, to be Instructor of Musketry to the Ist battalion ; Capt. J. M. Lyle, 29th, to the 2d battaliOn ; and Brevet-Major W. Radcliff, 84th, to the 3d battalion—each being assisted by a subaltern officer. Thewhole of .th e olfacereltndiroops belonging to the 3d battalion at Chatham were yesterday assem bled on their parade ground for the purpose of witnessing the ceremony of degrading a nen-com missioned officer, in obedience to the sentence of a district court martial. The offence with which the prisoner —Lance-Sergeant Reed, of the Bth (King's) Regiment—was found guilty, was that of being drunk and guilty of conduct unbe coming a non-commissioned officer while on duty in the barracks, for which serious breach of military discipline he was adjudged to be reduced to the rank and pay of a private soldier. The sentence of the Court having been read by the Adjutant the prisoner was marched to the front of the battalion, where he was publicly degraded and his stripes cut off his arm. The accused has been a great number of years in the service, and has hitherto borne a good character, having two good conduct badges. He served some time with his corps in India. The Racoon, 21, screw corvette, Capt. Paynter, arrived at Spithead on Monday night from the Nore, to await further orders. The Lord Raglan convict ship has embarked her allotment from Portsmouth, and sailed for Western Australia, calling at Portland and Plymouth. The Marlborough, 131, screw three decker, Captain the Right Hon. Lord F. H. Kerr, is being rapidly fitted out at Portsmouth for the Mediter ranean flag, and men come forward for her briskly. Vice-Admiral Fanshawe has not yet hoisted his flag to succeed Lord Lyons. The steam fleet in reserve at Portsmouth is being got ready for equipment at the shortest notice. The ships composing it, especially the line-of-battle ships, are being tried almost daily, and the staff of the steam reserve are indefatigably employed in getting the ships' machinery into reliable working order. The Duke of Wellington, Cresar, Victor Emmanuel, and Algiers are the most forward, and are expected to be the next large ships commis sioned. The gunboats at Haslar are also under course of overhaul. A letter from a private of the 94th, received at Plymouth, states that the regiment left the Sound on the 18th of Nov., and arrived at Madras on the 26th of Dec. They landed at Alexandria at five o'clock on the evening of the 2d of Dec., and pro ceeded by train to Cairo, where they breakfasted on the banks of the Nile at one o'clock on the morn ning of the 3d, and at 10 the same day dined in the desert. They wont in vans to Suez and waits3cl four days for the mail. From Suez for 20 days the men were exposed on the weather-deck to the wind and rain ; the sea was howdver calm as a river. The writer says that all was peaceful at Madras ; the Sepoys are sorry they ever turned out; and many are dying of hunger and want, The 94th were daily expecting the route to Rangoon. His Netherlands Majesty's paddlewheel steam vessel Ardjoeno, 8, Captain J. A. Van Hasselt, four days from Helvoet, for Batavia, put into Ply mouth Sound on Monday, for fuel. BILL FOR TEE BETTER GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. Whereas by an Act of the Session holden in the 16th and 17th years of her Majesty, chapter 95, "to provide for the government of India," the territo ries in the possession and under the government of the East India Company were continued under such government, in trust for her Majesty, until Parlia ment should otherwise provide, subject to the pro visions of that act and of other acts of Parliament, and the property and rights in the said act referred to are held by the said company in trust for the crown for the purposes of the said government, and whereas it is expedient that the said territories should be governed by and in the name of her Ma jesty : be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and con sent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Com mons, in .thispresent Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows : that is to say, TRANSFER OF THE GOTERNMENT OF INDIA. TO THEE MAJESTY. I. The government of the territories now in the possession or under the government of the East India Company, and all powers in relation to go vernment vested in or exercised by the said com pany, and all territories in the possession or under the government of the said company, and all rights vested in or which if this act had not been passed might have been exercised by the said company in relation to any territories, shall become vested in and be exercised on behalf of her Majesty; and for the purposes of this act India shall mean the terri tories vested in her Majesty as aforesaid, and all territories which may become vested in her Majesty by virtue of any such rights as aforesaid. 11. India shall be governed by and in the name of her Majesty, and all rights in relation to any ter ritories which might have been exercised by the said company if this act had not been passed shall and may be exercised on behalf of her Majesty as rights incidental to the government of India ; and all the territorial and other revenues of or arising in India, and all tributes and other payments in respect of any territories which would have been receivable by or in the name of the said company if this act bad not been passed, shall be received for and in the name of her Majesty, and shall be applied and disposed of for the purposes of the go vernment of India, subject to the provisions of this act. 111. Real and porsonal property of the company to vest in her Majesty for the purposes of the government of India. _ IV. The appointment of Governor-General of India, fourth ordinary member of the Council of India, and governors of presidencies in India, now made by the Court of Directors with the approla tion of her Majesty, and the appointment of Advo cate-General for the several presidencies now made with the approbation of the Board of Commissioners for the affairs of India, shall be made by her Ma jesty by warrant under her royal sign manual ; the appointments of the ordinary members of the Council of India, except the fourth ordinary mem ber, shall be made by the Governor-General of India, subject to the approbation of her Majesty, and the appointments of the members of council of the several presidencies shall be made by the gover nors of such respective presidencies, subject to the like approbation ; and all such appointments shall be subject to the qualifications now by law affect ing such offices respectively provided always, that it shall not be lawful for the Governor-General of India, or the governor of any presidency, to ap point a person provisionally to supply any vacancy which may subsequently happen in the office of member of council, unless the pleasure of hrr Majesty be previously signified for that purpose ; but any person appointed by such Governor-Gene ral or governor respectively, subject to her Ma jesty's approbation, to fill an actual vacancy in such office, shall be entitled to sit and act as a member of the respective council, and shall have the emolu ments and advautagt s of such appointment in the meantime until her Majesty's pleasure may be sig nified in relation to such appointment. PRESIDENT AND COUNCIL FOR AFFAIRS OF INDIA. V. For the purposes of the government of India under this act, a council shall be established, to consist of a president and eight other members, and to be styled, " The President and Council for the Affairs of India ;" and it shall be lawful fur her Ma jesty, from time to time, by warrant under her royal sign manual, to appoint a person to be, during her Majesty's pleasure, president of the council for the affairs of India, and by like warrants to appoint eight other persons to be ordinary nrinberi of such SAYING OF CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY. L. It shall be lawful for the president and coun cil to pay to the said company out of the revenues of India such annual sum as her Majesty, by war rant under her royal sign manual countersigned by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, may direct, for defraying the expenses of and incident to the pay ment to the proprietors of the capital stock of the company of their respective shares of the dividend on such stock, and of keeping the hooks of the said company for transfers, and otherwise in relation to such stock. LI. Nothing herein contained shall affect the right of the said company to demand the redemp tion of the dividend on their capital stock secured by the said act of the3d and 4th King William IV., and all the provisions of the said act concerning the security fund thereby created shall remain in force, save that when the approbation of the Com missioners-for the Affairs of India is required in relation to the disposal of the said security fund, the approbation of the president and council for the affairs of India shall be required. COMMENCEMENT OF THE ACT. LLT. Save as herein otherwise provided, this aci shall comnienca.anAilake-effect-on the expiration of 30 days after the passing thereof. THE LEVIATHAN. It is a long time since the public have heard any thing of their old friend the Leviathan, which lately occupied so large a share of their attention, and the bulletins about which chronicled almost hourly how many or how few inches she had pro-' greased towards her final destination—the water. The fact is, however, that very little has been done in the way of actual progress since the vessel was floated off her cradles, and she still remains moored stem and stern in the centre of the river, a little below the old building yard, from which for so many months she kept out the light and air, and in which for so many weeks grave fears were enter tained that she would remain, a permanent adorn ment of the river's bank. But though, as we have said, nothing worth speaking of in the way of work has been done about the Leviathan herself, a very great deal has been perfected, and we believe the arrangements are being made for her final comple tion and fitting for sea. With regard to this point a great deal of misapprehension appears to exist with the public as to the total outlay necessary to fit her out and the time it will require to get her ready in all respects for sea-going service. As far as the first-named subject is concerned we believe we shall be found correct in stating that the total cost of completing her fittings, putting on board stores, Asc., and making her in ail respects ready for ssa will not exceed 120,0001., and that the time required to do this will certainly not extend beyond the month of July. Four months is esti mated as being the utmost time necessary to fit her, but circumstances have arisen, such as the company being obliged to give up posses-ion of the y'ird at Millwall, which may occasion hindrances that will probably delay her completion till the time we have stated. In order, however, to insure the work being done in the shortest space of time, and at the lowest rate consistent with good workmanship, it has been decided to subdivide what remains to be done about the vessel among several contractors. Thus the building of the cabins and saloons will be given to one person, while another contracts for the decks, bulwarks, &c., a third for the rigging, a fourth for the boats, a fifth for the internal fittings, and so on. 13y this arrangement of course every part will pro gress simultaneously, and each be effected at the lowest cost and in the best style. No less than 10 anchors are now required to hold the monster vessel at her present moorings —five at the stem and five at the stern, and each with lengths of cable varying from 40 to 160 fathoms. When first anchored in the river eight sufficed to hold her, but during half a gale which blew shortly after her launch she dragged at the stern in such a manner as to swing more into the tideway, and require two of Trott - Iran's patent anchors in addition to the others, since which she has been brought up effectually, and now appa rently nothing short of a hurricane would be suffi cient to move her. As the fittings of the ship pro gress a pair of powerful shears will be fitted on deck for the purpose of hoisting in the ironwork of the masts, the intermediate shaft, heavy boats, stand ing rigging, and other portions of her equipment which are too ponderous to raise by ordinary means. The masts are at present being made at Millwall in pieces, and a good deal of the main masts has already been completed, though of course they will not be put together until they are actually on board. Thera are to be six masts in all, three square-rigged, and three rigged with fore and aft sails. All these masts will be composed of plates of wrought iron one inch in thickness, and rivetted together in the same manner as the sides of the ship, or a steam-boiler of the strongest description. They will vary in height from 130 to 170 feet from the keel to the truck, each will be 3 feet 4 inches diameter at the deck, and each will weigh from 30 to 40 tons, exclusive of yards or rigging. Each mast rests in a square column of plate iron which reaches direct from the keel to the upper deck, and is rivetted and built into all of the successive decks through which it passes. In case of it ever becom ing necessary to cut away the masts, at the base of them all, at about 3 feet above the deck, will be fixed a peculiar apparatus, which, working by means of a powerful screw, it is made to com press two sidesof the mast together in such a Man ner as to co m pl e t e l y crus h them in, and let the mast fall over th e s id e i mme di ate l y . As, however, all the masts will be stayed by the usual standing rigging, which in the case of the Leviathan wilt be all of wire rope and of the most massive kind, other precautions have to be taken in order to get rid of the masts when necessary. To effect this, then, all the shrouds and stays are fastened at the ends through iron rings in such a manner that, as far as any exertion of strength or skill is concerned a single man would be sufficient to cast loose all the fastenings of each mast in five minutes, though until the rings are opened the sides might be turn from the ship before they would yield an inch. All the main and topmast yards of the square rigged masts will be also of iron plates. The main yard will be 130 feet long, or about 40 feet longer than the mainyard of our largest line-of-battle ships, about four times the strength of any mainyard yet constructed, and several tons lighter than if it was made of wood, as is usually the case. We have said that the company are about to re move their plant and materials to another yard on tho Surrey side of the river, and such is the fact, and all the works at Millwall are in the chaotic state which usually portends a change of location even in small establishments, and which, of course, dis -1 plays itself in tenfold intensity in a yard where the largest ship of which the world has ever seen or heard has just been turned off to its moorings. But, great as is the change which these prepara tions make and imply, it is really nothing to what the absence of the Leviathan herself from the yard has already occasioned. In fact, it seems, at the first glance, as if one side of the yard had been taken away, or swept into the river by some extra ordinary flood tide. The debris, too, of the launch ing apparatus, the piles of gigantic timbers, masses of rails, hydraulic rams, screw-jacks, iron drums, chain cables, groups of piles, windlasses, &c., all huddled together in inextricable confusion. give to the whole place the aspect of some gigantic work shop which has suddenly betel levelled with the earth and ruined by some tremendous catastrophe. We believe 110 attempt will be made to draw out any of the many hundred piles driven into the earth for one purpose or another during the course of the launch. More with a view of satisfying scruples on this subject than any other object some one or two have been " extracted," but the efforts required to draw them involved such heavy lal ld tbi toear that the wages of the workmen employed amounted to more than double the value of the piles em_ selves. They will therefore be su ffered to remain where they are, ( n'y sawing off tho uppermost parts level with the earth.

On Monday evening last a meeting of political exiles was held at the Literary InAitution, John street, Tottenham-court-road, to commemorate the revolution of the 24th of Feb., 1848. The meeting ought, of course, to have been held upon the 24th (this day) ; but it seems that all the halls and places sietable for such a gathering were engaged for th's evening, and Monday last was therefore selected in its stead. The platform was decorated with the banners of Poland, and the flags of various nation alities funned a background. M. TALANDIER opened the proceedings by intro ducing M. Longepied as president. The CHAIRMAN, who on his appearance was greeted with loud applause, proposed three hearty cheers for the British Press and Parliament, which were given with great enthusiasm. He described, in a powerful and graphic manner, the crimes of the Dour-Decembrians—thestreanis of blood which they caused to be poured forth upon the Boulevards —the brains of men which were dashed out against the walls—and the heaps of the bodies of victims which were piled up in the cetnetriee, but at the same time he reminded them that out of evil came good. Their exile had been to them the school of misfortune, but it had also been to them the school of experience. They had learned in their exile to know their faults, and they had been taught by it lessons which would be invaluable in future. He concluded by expressing the hope that the justice of man would soon chastise the oppressors of France, and resumed his seat amielst loud applause. Mr. BLIGHT, an English operative, then ad dressed the meeting, pointing out the crimes and the midnight ambuscade of the Man of the 2d December. He condemned Lord Palmerston for his treachery, describing him as the ass which as sumed the lion's skin ; but he said that, at length Cobden and Bright saw the end of the tail, and called the attention of the public to it. He re ferred in touching terms to the betrayal of Poland, of Hungary, and of Italy, and resumed his seat amidst great cheering. M. FELIX PYAT said he had great satisfaction in hearing it repeatedly remarked since the vote of Frid ty night that the English Parliament and the English nation, too, had deserved well of the cause of humanity. They had, indeed, admirably as serted its claims against the arbitrary power which had successfully invaded the deliberative indepen dence of Belgium, Switzerland, and Piedmont, but had failed in its arrogant attempt to bully this country. With its commanding voice it had ex claimed to the advancing tide of despotism, "Stop 1. thou shall go no further !" and already the ebb of its hateful waters had begun. The haughty and boastful threats by which it had been sought to nebula this country to the wishes of the despot no longer rung in our ears, and with their subsidence fell also the Minister, whose name history would darken with the charge of having been willing to sacrifice the honourable independence of his coun try at the shrine of Bonapartism, a degraded sub serviency which lost him place and power. By the fall of that Minister, the English nation had made a noble protest against the complicity in ab solutism, in which it had been artfully sought to in volve it. It now became them, as the victims of that, system, to protest, in turn, against its uniigbteous persecution. M. Pyat concluded by reading to the meeting a letter addressed to the Parliament. and the press, the communication of it being re ceived by repeated bursts of applause. Mr. MURRAY said that as an Englishman he was there to protest indignantly against the arrogance of the man who, after his ignoble adventures at Boulogne and Strasburg, after conspiring from motives of mere ambition against the lawfully con stituted power which reigned over France ; and after having slain thousands of innocent persons by the hands of his satellites, now sought to expel from our hospitable shores the unfortunate men whom his oppression had driven to them for an asylum. The downfall of Lord Palmerston's Cabinet could only be regarded as a just punish ment for the truckling spirit in which it had acted, and he hoped would prove a lesson to his successors. (Hear, hear.) M. TALANDIER remarked that the position of affairs at the present moment ought to induce them to sink all minor differences, and to unite with a thoroughly cordial entente for the preservation of their common interests in the future that was before to others he did himself reserve fora more fitting occasion, a s m i . 1 7 , s h o e t t e h v a e t r reproaches the he might have to make i r present unanimity might not be endangered.

" Fortunately,. it did not last long, and no weapons were openly displayed. When order wale restored several gentlemen were found to be pre sent an excessively tumbled and disordered ap pearance, but there remained little else to recall the excitement. Gentlemen of opposite parties crossed over to each other to explain their pacifi c dispositions, and that they got into a fight whe re . there only purpose wasto prevent a fight. Mutual explanations and a hearty laugh at the ludicrous points of the drama were followed by quiet and a return to business. Disgraceful though all such scenes are, it must be admitted that Mr. Grow was in no way responsible for this. He was brutally I a9sailed, and defended himself at last only after forbearance had ceased to be a virtue. If the les son which he impressed upon his assailant shall have the effect of restraining henceforth i Mr. Keitt's exhibitions of insolence and his 'offensive affectations of superiority over. his" !equals I don't know that the result will have (been too dearly purchased. He seems to have la- . lboured for years under the impression that a man who don't own negroes can be trodden upon with impunity, and it is to be hoped that his present dis comfiture will inspire him with the respect for his colleagues which is their due.

I confess to some misgive 'ings as to the propriety of yielding to them even so 'far as to postpone the final question until Monday. ;They know now just how many votes they want, and as success is vital to the administration, the 'most desperate efforts Will - be made between this ssnd Monday to change the votes, or induce manta !absent themselves. Hilving the power this morning it would have been better to finish the work up at once. It is scarcelyito be anticipated, however' that any of the Northern Democrats who - strugglid so ' faithfully all through the night to secure to the people of Kansas their just rights will' fall by the way now. They have put their hands to the plough, and are not likely to turn back again. It is reason able to hope that within a few hours after this reaches the public eye the Lecompton Constitution wilt b 3 in the hands of a committee, whose official report of the facts of the Kansas imbroglio cannot . fail to satisfy a decided majority of Congress that it never ought to be forced upon a protesting people."
