OCIETY for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This Society derives its origin from the following cause : That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and the numerous existing charitable associations, human beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty, luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die miserably of hunger and the want of the'common neces saries of life. To prevent as far its possible the recurrence of an evil so disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the first instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local institutions which have this object in view. To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases as legitimately telong to them alone, to aid the police and the Mendicity Society, to detect imposture, and to bring to the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing Charitable associations those cases for which their several institutions were established. Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the c lergy —ministers of all denominations, medical profession, or agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as possible by the judicious application of funds entrusted to district committees and local responsible persons appointed by them for the purpose. No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the central office. The promoters of this movement now come forward, not in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years laboriously engaged. They now claim to be met in the spirit in which they advance, with the sole purpose of furthering, by friendly intercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable associations have in view. The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds, which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to the relief of genuine distress.

The sentence having been confirmed by the Commander-in-Chief, the prisoner has since been whipped in the presence of the battalion t' which he belonged, and on his recovery he.will be sent to prison for the allotted period. This is the only case of military flogging which has taken place in Col chester Camp for Healey 12 months, and was in this instance resorted to in consequence of the prisoner being a most desperate and incorrigible character. The first steps towards the formation of the new camp will be taken immediately, an order having been issued for the construction of the main drain age. The buildings, it is expected, will be for the accommodation of nearly 4,000 men, embracing each branch of the service. A telegram from ,Ifioit Leavenworth announce the arrival of the pony express there on the 16th. The California news is unimportant. The steamer Golden Age sailed from San Francisco on the lst inst. with 1,265,000 doll. Among her passengers was ex-Governor Weller, who is on his way to Mexico, Col. Nesmith, United States Senator from Oregon, and John C. Fremont. The ship Morning Star, Capt. Campbell, arrived at New York from Liverpool, gave news of the burning of the ship Globus, Capt. Blancke, at sea on the 12th inst. All of her passengers (149), with the exception of one who jumped overboard, were saved and brought to liampton Roads in the Morning Star. The cargo and baggage were entirely consumed. By the arrival at New York of the bark M en di, Capt. M'lntyre, we have advices from Monrovia, Liberia, to December 3.

THE NAV'. - A letter, dated Valetta, Sanuary fro - m a Malta correspondent, says : " Her Majesty's line-of-battle ship Queen,: Capt. C.F. Hillyar, arrived here on Saturday last, six days from Naples, and one day from Messina, and, is expected to continue in this port 'for some time. She left Rear-Admiral Mundy, With fourships, at Naples. " Her Majesty's steini-krveying vessel Firefly, left' Malta on the same d 4 or Alexandria, 'under the. command of Lieut. Bedford, 'hen senior officer, ' Commander Mansell, and surveying staff, being on service in the Red Sea, in connection with the con struction of certain lighthouses in thole waters. "Her Majesty's gunboat Foxhound, Commander A." Mitchell, arrived here to-day at seven a.m., front Corfu, which place she left' two days ago. Her Majesty's steam troopship Himalaya, Captain Seccombe also came in to-day at .3,30 , p.m., from Corfu, w ith one day's later dates from that station. A letter received by her says Vice-Admiral Fanshawe Martin, the Commander-in-Chief, is still here, and we hear nothing of his leaving;us yet.' ‘1 The Himalaya has on board chiefly naval in valids, ,either for the Naval Hospital here or for pas,sage home. 21 sick seamen, four Marines, and an officer were disembarked from her • to-day. A Mr,, Sutherland, one gunner Royal Artillery, a woman, and a child ; arid the master and 'six men, forming the crew of the Maltese vessel Virginia, wrecked on the 3d instant at Vallona, also arrived by her for Malta ; and four naval officers and 29 seamen, invalids, &c.,' for England. Lieut.-Gen. Warren , and Aide-de-Camp Captain Trevor, who had proceeded in the Himalaya to Corfu, returned by her: Her precise date of de parture, has not yet been fixed. Befbre leaving she is to take in about 600 tons of coal; and the two sar cophagi brought by captain Spratt from Candle for ,the British Muse. - - ' • Her Majesty'airilfate MelpOmene, Capt. Ewart, cst yawcaat Las imurt, lacr rorksh..:wa r is under orders to proceed to Candia." A later letter, dated Jan. 25, says " Among the officers who are to proceed home in the Himalaya are Mr. Tatum, Military Storekeeper; Mr. Bush, Purveyor to the Forces; Lieut. Wad dington, R.A., and wife; and Mr. Dowling, H.M.S. Queen, on promotion to the rank of master. The Queen brought down from Naples for the Naval Hospital here Mr. A. Cazaly, master's assistant, and 19 seamen and Marines. She is now refitting, and will be ready for sea in about 10 days. By the last accounts her Majesty's frigate Terrible was at Mes sina and her Majesty's frigate Amphion at Palermo. Her Majesty's gunboat Box was at Marsala. " The English screw steamer William Corry, R. Donaldson, master, arrived on the 23d inst. from London and Toulon. She has been engaged in laying the electric cable between Bona and Toulon, and had on board the cable to connect Corfu with Otranto. She left Malta the following day for Corfu for this purpose. Mr. Andrews, Engineer and General Superintendent of the Mediterranean Ex tension Telegraph Company, took passage by her to superintend the operation; The Sardinian Go vernment steamer Sirena, Captain Baron L. de Cora, arrived here on the 24th, from Naples and Messina, to join the William Corry, and assist her in laying the Corfu and Otranto cable, but finding her gone she followed her the same night to Corfu. After the operation of submerging this cable is com pleted she is to return to Messina, to assist in laying a cable across the Straits." THE 12ISCA COLLIERY EXPLOSION. RISCA, WEDNEADAY. The inquiry was resumed to-day, Mr. Llewellyn appearing for the Risca Coal and Iron Company ; Mr. Owen for the friends of some of the deceased; and Mr. Brough and Mr. Evans, Government , inspectors, to watch proceedings and assist the coroner. r Mr. Harrison, chief viewer or under-_g_Pilnd manager of the .ttisca Coal and I ron Company, was recalled and examined at considerable length. In reply to the coroner, he repeated his former decla ration, that he considered the system of ventilation by machinery adopted at the Black Vein Pit suffi cient for its purpose under all ordinary circum stances, and that no system of ventilation could pre vent an explosion if a blower of extraordinary mag nitude came off suddenly, and the gas came by any means in contact with the naked flame of a lamp. He expressed an opinion that on Dec. 1 there was a series of explosions, the first being the result of a blower, and setting free various accumulations of gas by falls of coal from the roof, the whole of which fired in immediate succession. With regard to the ventilation of " yobs," of old workings —a question which had been frequently referred to before—he asserted it to be impracticable, and that it existed nowhere in the world. In reply to Mr. Brough, the witness went on to say that the use of powder for blasting in the mine was sometimes an absolute necessity. He contra dicted statements made by various witnesses as to the continued accumulations of large quantities of gas ilt different parts of the pit, and said he never allowed a man to work where gas collected, if he knew of its existence. Witness asked why he did not attempt to aid the ventilation by a supplementary furnace in the Hill Pit ; he replied that the power of the ventilator would have drawn out the fire from the furnace, and so rendered it worse than useless, and when Mr. Brough gave it as his own impression that the number of firemen was insufficient for the service of the pit he affirmed that no fireman con nected with the pit had a district which he could not easily traverse in four hours. With regard to an admission by Derrick, one of the night firemen, that he had often found men asleep when going his rounds, and had left them so, Mr. Harrison charac terised Derrick's conduct as highly censurable and likely to lead to danger. He knew nothing, he said, of an attempt to prevent the men belonging to the Black Vein from applying to Mr. Brough, nor in fact of any other complaint having ever been made by the men than they had too much air. He explained various points of detail connected with the management of the colliery, and, in reply to Evans, he broadly asserted that the men during the four years he had been there had never once asked to be allowed to go round and examine the pit. Examined by Mr. Llewellen, he said there was no protection from blowers but good ventila tion and the safety lamp ; and he added that with proper care a man might escape, however large the quantity of gas coming off, since if the witness hahe been e u e t n hi r s e l c a o m in p s quietly under his jacket it would go out of itself, and the gas would not explode. A long and minute cross- exam i n ation by Mr- Willett (for Mr. Owen) eli c it e d no thing from the witness in addition to or c o n t ra diction of his origi. nal evidence. On re-examination by Mr. Llew ellen said the sinking of a new pit, alg mended by Mr. Brough, would invo lve d the laying would absorb out of a new colliery altogether, and that, although it would increase th e ventilation, the large area of d p e e n n i d as up t o the causes of air, new and leave the existing workings pretty much in their present state with regard to ventilation. The ne w pit , it was men tioned incidentally, would cost £30,000, but would very much facilitate the production of coal. Edward Rowbotham, surgeon, was the next wit ness examined, of the poor fellows killed by the explosion, deposing that some were burnt aid some smashed, additionalewxoarn i k i i n n g e s d ,tshauanptpdwl supply o f gave d e b e e v o pened but the majority died from after-damp. The inquiry was proceeding when our parcel was despatched. nesewi The Bulldog, 6, paddle, Commander H. F. M'Killop, and the Philomel, 5, screw, Commander L. Wildman, have both taken up berths off the King's-stairs in Portsmouth harbour, to swing for the adjustment of their compasses before proceeding to fpithead. The,Vulture, 6, paddle, has been placed in the steam basin at Portsmouth to have her boilers taken out and her machinery thoroughly overhauled and repaired, preparatory for first-class reserve. Her Majesty's iron paddlewheel steam vessel Caradoc, Lieat.-Commander Charles M. Buckle, returned to Woolwich from the packet and despatch service in the Mediterranean, is ordered to be paid off on Tuesday next. The maindeck guns of the screw steamship Aboukir, Capt. Douglas Curry, at Devonport, are in course of removal. Capt. Astley C. Key, C. 8., of the guardship of steam ordinary Indus, 78, in Hamoaze, left Devon port on Tuesday for London. As soon as the artisans of the Devonport dock yard have completed breaking up the Invincible, which is in No: 4 dock, the sloop Liberty, 12, will be placed in it to be repaired and coppered. At Devonport it is rumoured that the Revenge, 91, in Hamoaze, will be commissioned in place of the Princess Royal, 91, at Portsmouth. Besides the Revenge, the Orlando, 51, and the gunboats Pro cris, Sheldrake, Lark, Charon, and Goldfinch, at Devonport, are ready to be commissioned. The screw steamship Centurion, 80, Capt. H. D. Rogers, in Hamoaze, is ordered to be supplied with some Armstrong guns. It having been in contemplation for some time past by the Lords of the Admiralty to supersede, in a great measure, the employment of horses in her Majesty's dockyards by the use of Bray's steam that n o of the traction engines, some important imp rovements have been `suggested in their manu facture, which the greater being nearly d o uble. The fram in g will also differ, and will be are now being carried out in t he construction o f an engine the one for the pe rmanent service of the dockyard at Woolwich. The power deli delivered on d the b y improved thecompany pa s n y y stem, to replac e f o o f nn the er noenwe ones, th e area engine somew h a t similar to that of a ra il way locomotive,cylind e rs andwheels t heir will of b laminating. The engines will be mounted on springs and the boiler suspended on trunnions to insure its being on a level . in ascending and descending un even ground, and the steam will be superheated to prevent priming. The engines on the old principle have been engaged for some days past in removing the Warrior's engines and machinery from Messrs. Penn's factory at Greenwich, and notwithstanding the extremely varied state of the weather and the i roads, they have s ucceeded Admirably. Yesterday TILE NEW PRESIDENT OF AMERICA. .He *tads six feet four, it is said, in his stockings. His head is *ll set upon his shoulders, and would be a pleasing study for a phrenologist. His black hair, thin and wiry, is sprinkled here and there with gray. His forehead is good, his eyes dark gray, and when lit up with emotion, small as they are, flash forth the fire that lives in his soul. His nose is long and slightly aquiline, and his nostrils are cut on that pecu liar model which Napoleon praised in his favourite generals. His complexion is that of an octoroon ; his face is cut into innumerable angles, and in each there seems to lurk the genius of humour. But his mouth is described as the most expressive of his features, though somewhat inclined to coarseness; and his smile is winning from its frankness and sincerity. His frame is gaunt, his arms long, and his lower limbs proportioned to his gigantic height. His step is firm but slow ; and in walking he inclines his head for ward, whilst his hands are clasped behind his back. As a speaker he exhibits readiness, preciseness, and fluency of ideas rather than of language, for his enunciation is for the most part slow and emphatic; and he impresses his hear" with seriousness or convulses them with merriment, sc cordizaz to the requirouAte of t)ie 99014P11. The first annual meeting of the St. John's division of the Queen's (Westminster ) Volunteers was held at the Scliool•rooms, Horseferry-road, on Tuesday evening ; Mr. J. C. Wood in the chair. After the usual preliminaries, the hon. secretary (Mr. jebb) read the report. The chairman stated that their expenses had been neceatiai:ily very heavy in that the. -first year of their existen ceisoleavy,.indeed, that they had been left with a balance of only £97 in hand. Ile trusted therefore that those parishioners who could not join the ranks of the division Would, subscribe towards their expenses. The report and accounts were received and adopted. On Monday evening the members of Lord Truro's Metropolitan Light Cavalry assembled at the Wel lington Barracks in strong force. Notwithstanding the short time which Lord Truro has been agitating the formation of troops of cavalry for the metropolis, the number of applications for enrolment has been very great. The corps possesses many advantages, the uniform being very smart and economical, con • sistent with comfort. The horse appointmeits by Messrs. Gibson, of New Coventry-street, are of a novel and light description, the difference in weight between the horseappointments of the Metropolitan Light Cavalry and the regular Dragoons being 161 b. The Volunteers having gone through a variety of ivolutions in a creditable manner, were dismissed to their respective quarters.' • : • Her Majesty has been pleased to accept the ser vices of a body of Volunteers raised at Downton as a subdivision of the Ist Wilts (Salisbury) Corps, and the names of the officers are shortly to be ga zetted. The ladies of the city of Salisbury and neighbourhood are about to present the corps with a handsome silver bugle. It is arranged that the presentation shall take place on Wednesday next, the 6th of February. In the evening there is to be a grand Volunteer Ball at the Assembly-rooms, under the immediate patronage of Lieutenant- General Buckley, M.P., Mr. H. M. Marsh, M.P., the Mayor of Salisbury, Captain Sir F. H. H. Bathurst, Lieutenant Earl Nelson, and Cornet W. E. Matcham, of the Salisbury Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry ; and Captain Commandant J. H.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAT EVENING. The North-German Lloyd screw 111;eainship Bre men, Capt. Wessels, has arrived of Cowes from New York, and gone on to Bremen. She left on the 19th inst., and consequently brings three days' later advices than those previously o hand. The Bremen brings 21,151 dols, in sped. for England, and 2,000 dols. for Bremen, and 14 passengers in all. Washington despatches of the rith state that Lieut. Hall, the messenger despatoed by Major Anderson for instructions from heaiquarters, had started on his return to Fort Sumter. The exact nature of the instructions Which ht carried with him were, of course, not known, but it was ascer tained with sufficient certainty that the Govern ment had no intention of withdrawing the troops from the position which they occupied, and that Major:Anderson was instructed peremptorily to de fend himself to the best of his ability if attacked. Col. Hayne, the messenger from Gorrnor Pickens, who left Charleston at the same tine with Lieut. Hall, still remained at W;tshington, snd it was un derstood that he had considerably modified his views relative to his duties during his sojourn there. He had, it is stated, telegraphed to Governor Pickens this fact, and had asked for further in structions. - Meantime,, - evpr, .he bad called upon President 'Buck, rid prtitini4td verbally the ultimatum of &silt siikina,seliftik'seas under stood to insist upon the with drasetti*, the troops from Fort Sumter: ,TlieTte„sident requested Mr. Hayne to put his comrmnipatiqn in writing, when it would be considered-v a syhich ` 'P eas all the satis faction he gave him.

The commissioners from South Carolina and Alabama were invited to make addresses, and the Convention adjourned. The following despatch is from Albany, dated the 18th "The long-anticipated report of the Assembly Committee on Federal Relations came in this morning. Mr. Robinson, in presenting the report, stated that the committee had been pushed for time, and had, therefore, not as precisely determined as they could have wished. As it was, the en tire committee agreed in the spirit of the report, but with out being pledged to its views or even committed to its con clusions. The resolutions were not the views of even a majority of the committee—hence they were submitted for the consideration of the House. "The report after rehearsing the conditi on of th e coun try, denies th 6 right of secession, and demands that the National Government recapture the public property stolen by the rebels of the seceding States. It admonishes the Legislature of the necessity for a prompt preparation for the emergency that may demand the resources of the State to defend its integrity as a member of the Confederacy. " Having laid down their premises, the report thaws thence the conclusions embodied in the following resolu tions : " ' Resolved (if the Senate concur)—That the State of New York has witnessed, with deep regret and earnest re probation, the attempt of some of the slaveholding States to overthrow the national Constitution and laws, and to dis solve the Union, which has conferred inestimable benefits upon all sections ; and she denies the right of any State to absolve itself from its allegiance to the Federal Govern ment; and that she will put forth all her power and re sources to maintain that Government and to aid in the enforcement of its laws. " ' Resolved (if the Senate concur)—That the State of New York sincerely desires to avoid civil war by every means consistent with her honour, and to meet her sister States in a conciliatory spirit, to consider all differences of opinion amicably, to remove all just causes of complaint, and by mutual concessions to restore peace and harmony to the Union. " ' And whereas the Government of the Territories has long been a disturbing element in our national councils, and has of late given rise to political divisions that appear to admit of no compromise and to threaten the integrity of the Union—one party insisting that the national Government shall protect slavery in the Territories, another that it shall prohibit it; and still another, that it shall not interfere one way or the other ; " And whereas all parties loyal to the Constitution and Union agree that each State has the sole and exclusive power of determining its own domestic institutions; there fore, to the end that this impediment to our national har mony be for ever removed, — "'Resolved (if the Senate concur)—That our senators and representatives in Congress be requested to use their influence, after the admission of Kansas as a State on her present application, to divide all the remaining terribry so as to form two States, to be admitted as gates of the Union so soon as the inhabitants thererof shall adopt State Con• stitutions, Republican in form, reserving the right of sub division, with proper restricti')ns, or to divide the territory after tho manner of the Missouri Compromise ; provided that oar said senators and representatives shall have as surances satisfactory to them that such disposition of the territories will be generally assented to and will restore peace and harmony to the nation. " ' Resolved (if the Senate concur)—That these resolu tions, with the vote of this Legislature thereon, be forthwith transmitted to the Governor of this State, to our senators and representatives in Congress, and to the Governors of the several States of the Union. " LUCIUS ROBINSON. " FROTHINGRAM FISH. " L. CHANDLER BALL. " WILKES ANGEL. " F. KERNAN. " W. J. 111WERMOTT.' " The New York Ti»zes, of the 18th, says : , " The President, it will be seen, yesterday mustered courage to send to the Senate his nomination of Mr. Holt as Secretary at War, and that body considered it in Exe cutive Session. The debate upon it was understood to be very personal and acrimonious, but, although the nomina tion has not yet been confirmed, there is little doubt that it will be to-day, as a strenuous effort of the Secessionists to have it referred to the Military Committee failed by a suffi ciently decisive vote. The nomination of Mr. M'lntyre as collector at Charleston still hangs on the Committee of Commerce. Colonel Hayne, the Commissioner from South Carolina, yesterday completed his communication in ac cordance with the request of the President, and will pro bably present it to•clay. What disposition will In made 4 it by Mr. Buchanan remains to be seen. It is rumoured very strongly that he is again getting uncertain in his policy towards the Disunionists, and that in consequence of this fact there was some very plain conversation in Cabi net meeting yesterday. The latest reports from the South received in Washington are deemed of an encouraging nature." The proceedings of Congress on the 17th were interesting, and in the Senate important. Mr. Hunter called up the Deficiency Bill, which was passed, after being amended in various particulars. The item for the support of the captured Africans was reduced from 900,000 dols. to 450,000 dols. An item was audited for the payment of 300,000 dols. for the establishment of a coaling station for the navy at Chirique. Provision was made for a Bureau of Public Printing. An amendment, offered by Mr. Gwin, providing for the payment of 350,000 dols. to Commodore Vanderbilt for carrying the California mails, was amended, on motion of Mr. Latbain, by striking out Mr. Vanderbilt's name, and agreed to. After the Deficiency Bill was disposed of ,the Senate took up the Pacific Railroad Bill. Various amendments were proposed and voted upon, and several senators expressed their views for and against the measure. The 'proceedings were finally interrupted by a motion to go into Executive Session, which prevailed, and the Senate soon afterwards adjourned. In the house, the Senate joint resolution allowing Commodore Paulding to accept rewards from Nicaragua was reporte4 from the Nary Com. ‘mittee, but objection Was inado to its and it was laid over: Mr,'Clemens, ,of ;Virginia, presented a memorialy signed by * *ppo s t•pri3ons 4n his Congressional ?district, a s ki ng fo r an , a dj ustment of the slavery question . in the Union. The hoitie, in committee of thg whole- on 'the Army Billy then continued the general discussion of the condition of the country, the speakers being Messrs. Thomas, of Tennessee; Sickles, of New *fork; Ashley of, Ohio ; and Perry, of Maine. The South Carolina Legis6ture still continued the consideration of measures fit the defence of the State, evidently expecting thatlhe General Govern ment will commence hostilities soon.- The Military Committee reported in favour of : raising additional troops and placing the State fully upon a war foot ing. A proposition 'to connect the'city of Charles ton with all the fortifications in the harbour in possession of the State troops ° was considered in secret session. In the Virginia State senate, on the 17th, the Committee on Federal Relations reported that the Crittenden resolutions would be an acceptable basis of compromise to' the commonwealth. They . also recommended to the General Government and the States to abstain from all acts calculated to pro; duce a collision. The Governor, in transmitting the resolutions passed by the New York Legislature, expresses the utmost disdain, and says the threat -conveyed can inspire no terror with free men. The Assembly also ' approves of the Crittenden proposition. , • Despatches for. the Commander of the Gulf Sqnadron, on the 16th,;left New Orleans for Vera Cruz, in charge of Consul Pickens, of that city, It was rumoured that they embodied orders for the , .coicentration Of the Itesseis composing the squadron at . the Mouth of the Miksissippi and at the harbour of Pensacola. Mr. Holt was on the 18th confirmed as Secretary at War by the Senate, by a vote of 38 to 13, after a stormy secret session of about fourhours. airing 'its continuance Mr. Crittenden unekpectedly made a speech, in which he severely upbraided • the Southern members who voted against his resolutions on Thursday, and thus defeated them. He declared that Kentucky , ,occupied such. a position in the ' Union that it was of vital importance to her that it should b© preserved, and that it must be preserved at all hazards. The speech was represented to have made a 'dec ided sensation among the seces-_, sionists. CAT _bum Liu" W 1 LIM Landing an nouncements to the contrary, had not yet sent in his communication to the President, and did not intend doing so before Monday. It was asserted that the tone of the document was likely to be quite moderate. Possibly a still longer delay might result in a further access of moderation. The debates in Congress on the 18th were in teresting, and the action taken was important. The Senate, during the early part of the session, after the introduction of various memorials asking for the; passage of the Crittenden resolutions, was en gaged in the consideration of private bills. Those resolutions were then again brought before the Senate, and again action upon them was post poned until Monday. The Pacific Railroad Bill was made the special order for Tuesday. Mr. Green, of Missouri, introduced a joint resolution recom mending that the several States take immediate steps, by convention or otherwise, to make propo sitions for a compromise of the existing difficulties. It was ordered to a second reading. The bill to authorise a loan, to fix the duty on imports and relative to the outstanding Treasury notes, was made the special order for Wednesday. The Kansas Bill then came up as the special order, and the debate on it continued until 2 o'clock, when the Senate went into executive session to pass upon the nomination of Mr. Holt as Secretary at War. No more business was done in open session. In the house, the general debate in committee of the whole on the Army Bill was concluded, and the bill was passed through the committee, after the failure of a resolution offered by Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, to the effect that no forces authorised by the bill should be used to subject any seceding State. The principal speech made was by Mr. Sherman, of Ohio. The Georgia Convention spent most of the day on the 18th in secret session. A resolution was adopted in the afternoon similar to the preliminary resolution adopted by the Florida Convention, de laring the right and duty of the State to secede, and appointing a special committee to report an ordinance of secession. The vote on this resolution shows a very strong minority against the policy of precipitation—the number declaring against it being 130. The call for a State Convention of the democracy of New York, published on Thursday morning, sets forth the alarming condition of the country, and the causes which in the opinion of the callers, have led to it, and comes to the conclusion that the only thing which can save the Union is immediate ac tion on the part of the " time-honoured party." In this view of the case a Convention is called to meet in Albany on the 31st iast. The call is signed by the members of the State Central Committee, headed by Benjamin Wood. Among the passengers who reached New York on board the steamer Marion which arrived from Charleston, were four labourers who had recently been paid off and discharged from Fort Sumter, who report some very interesting facts con cerning the condition of the garrison, t s and the conduct of the men during the affair of the Star of the West. Although the men are sub sisting at the present time principally upon salt food, there is no disposition to find fault, but they accept their fare cheerfully, as all that can be ex pected under the circumstances. There appears to be no scarcity of anything but fuel. In the State Senate on the 18th Mr. Fiero intro duced a bill appropriating 500,000 dols. for pro viding arms and equipment for the militia of the State, the same to be expended under the direction of the Governor. Mr. Spinola introduced a bill providing for a special election to take a vote of the people of the State on the Crittenden proposi tions for amendment of the Constitution ; also a bill for the more perfect organisation of the military forces of the State. In the Assembly the Committee on Federal Relations made a report endorsing Mr. aßobinson'st af ter t h e by plandi admissionv f i o d r oi fnthieasnllsasthremaining tow settlement iuof os t h ta e tt ee n sr a ,rw t i i t h o o on , y a h l difficulties e, shall be admitted hereafter w ith or without sl avery as the people thereof gee fi t , Laid o n the table. et CONTRACT FOR PIG LEAD.
