Prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. 13eecher, Deacon

Speeches were made by. the Rev. W. Freeman Clark,

Parker, J. M. S. Williams, of Cambridge. the Rev.
Lyman Beecher, John L. Swift, and W. B. Spooner, of

Tee speee es of Messrs. Philips and Parker ware
almost teirely politic .i. with minor reierences to the ob-

interrupted the latter several times.
Mr. Spooner dissented from the declarations made by
both, that men not of the Free.soil party rejoiced at the
assiult on Mr. Sumner, and justified Mr. Brooks. He
said it was tot so, and held out a reqsisition for the use
of Faneuil-hall on Saturday nic.Tht for a mass meeting,
signed by over 50 men of all parties. The present
meetinee he said, was a spontaneous one, and no special
party had the credit of its initiation.
The meeting adjourned at 10 o'clock to meet on Satur-
day at Faneuil-hall.

commencing criminal 'proceedings against them., The
greater part of these men were Liberal members of the
Constituent Assembly, which was convoked for April,
1854, and posseeked too much integrity to vote eway the
liberty of the republic,: Among them mere. Don Vran-
disco Castillon and General Jerez—the former a . .
well-
known, upright, and influential. patriotidcitizan, a man
of liberal views, of a superior eduoation, and a correct
knowledge of 'the world that he hail acquired during a
long residence at different courts of Europe ; the latter is
also similar of chary ter, views, and. experience. These
and other patriots Chamorro imprisoned, and banished
subsequently to 'Honduras. Gen. Jerez, at the head et
a few courageous men, returned to Nicaragua, and at
Chinnandeeba, the first large town near the borders of
Honduran, he organised a provincial government. The
popular masses joined bins freely, they having be•
come alarmed at the proceedings of Claamorro. The
forces of the Provisional Government marched .to
Leon, where Chamorro had his camp ; and as soon as
both armies met the whole Chamorro force came over to
General Jerez. Chamorro then took refuge in the city
of Granada, and by sacrificing the wealthy portion of the
population, he assembled together a force of 1,000 men
to stand a siege of nine months in the Plaza, daring
which time a large portion of this beautiful city was
completely destroyed. The provisional government was
compelled to raise the siege. 90 of them responded to
the invitation, end became naturalised citizens of that
country.
" Shortly after Chamorro died, and the constituent
assemb'y, trampling on the very constitution and charter
they to d made but a few days before, arrogated to them-
-laves the ordinary.legis'ative power, and apnointel Don
Jose Maria Estrada as the successor of ChanitaiiEeewhose
feotiteps he begari to follow. This is the style of govern-
ment which has be n celled legitimate, and which was
not and could not le so according to the constitution of
that state, bec use Chsneorro's terra of office having ex-
pired, only the people of Nicaragua, represented by the
juntas of the depart eenl7, and never the Assembly,
ought to have rppointed the successor. With the assist-
ance of our breve allies things were soon changed, and
our forces took posSessien of the city of Granada on the
13th of October, 1855. At this time the Americans in
the service of Nicaragna did not number more than 150
men, commanded by General Williath Walker.
"And what was the conduct of those who overthrew
the Government of Estrada ? They used every effort
and successfully; to re' Ole and smaint4n order, to pro-
tect the persons and preperty of the citizens ; to gather
up the elements which war aid revolutions had scat-
tered abroad, and to frame them into a new order of re-
conciliation and peace. Three invited General Corral,
the chief of the hostile forces, to a conference ; and the
latter being fully authorised by the Government that
styled itself leitimate, they agreed. to Appoint a provi-
sioral chief, for which offics Don Patricia Rivas was
selected • and that General Walker should be the Gene-
ral-in-OCief of the whole military force of the Republic.
It is impossible, Sir, to describe the enthusiasm that
prevailed on that day. Two armies that were hostile to
each other the day hefore became merged into one, and
the two generals marched arm in arm to the house of
the God of peace to celebrate the blessed day of their
reconciliation.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

Yesterday a general meeting of the Metropolitan
Board of Works was held in the Council Chamber,
; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial
statement showed a total general balance of 146,6671.
17.. 63.

A. long dieenssion took place as to the confirmation of
a recommendation from the district board of Mile-end
Old-town, thee Mr. O'Shaunessy, le;ei surveyor to the
lighting trust of that district, should receive a retiring
pension of 1001. per annum. The committee of the
Metropolitan Board Works had recommended 75/. per
annum, instead of 1001., hut on a division the larger sum
was adopted by 15 votes to 14.
A report from the committee on the duties of the
board under the Building Act was presented, fixing the
amount of fees to the district surveyors, for the super-
vision cf the erection cf furnaces and chimney shafts,
regulating the mode of making applications to the board
with respect to the erection of buil,lin,gs, works, &c.,
and providing tl at in all cases under the 26th sec-
tioa of the Building AO-, en I s ction 143 of the
Metropolis Local Management Act, recording projec-
tions beyond the general line of frontage, the sanction
or consent in writing of the adioining owners must
accompany the application. Mr. Moriand, basing moved
the adoption of trip rnoit, Mr. Crellin opposed the
clause regarding projections b vend the general line of
frontage, and reeved its omission. Captain Barrett
seconded tue ant ndrnent, uhich was carried by 17 votes
against 12. 'The clause was th.-1-efore eNpur ged. Mr.
Dennis moved that the highest supervision fee to the
_district surveyors, for furnace, and chimney Fhalts, be
21. 10s. instead of 31.155. The amendment was nega-
tived by a majority of 12 to a
Mr. Seeley brought up a report from
,the committee
on the site offices. The committee stated that, in con-
pliance with the instruction convoyed by the resolution
of the board, of the 19th March last, they bad suspended
the adoption of a plan for the enlargement of the pie•
raises in Greek-street, and had endeavoured to ascertain
whether it was practicable to obtain a site in some ur, re
convenient, situation. After inspecting various localities
and premises they begged to submit the under-mentioned
sites for the consideration of the board, and to request
that they might be authorised to treat with the proper
parties, in order to ascertain whether they could be ob-
tained by the board, and if so, on what terms, viz.—
Bridewell, Farringdon-street (near the site of the Fleet
Prison), Victoria-street, Clerkenwell ; end Giltspur-et.
The committee had also procured estimates for providing
for the permanent adaptation of the premises in Greek-
'street (should the board so re-determine) at a cost of
8,500/. ; hut if they wished to remain there only for a
year or two, they could have a temporary iron erection
put up at a cost of 1,100/. Mr. Seeley moved that the
report he approved, and thrA the committee have in-
structions to carry it out. Mr. Bristow seconded the
motion, which was supported also by Mr. Hows. Mr.
Wright thought they might make arrangements with
the corporation of London for continuing in their pre-
sent room. Mr. Muskin suggested Hungerford-hall.
Mr. Leslie di I not see why they should seek a new
building, when they had their own freehold in Greek-
street. Mr. H. L. Taylor moved as an amendment,
"'Tat the premises belonging to this board in Greek-
street are inconveniently situate for the meetings of this
board ; and we are of opinion that the place for the con-
duct of the business of the board should be in some cen-

" By virtue of said treaty, Hot. Don Patricio Rivas
took possession of his office, and his election was np•
proved by the general voice of Nicaragua. His first
step was to address a peaceful and friendly invitation to
the chiefs Qf the central American Republic?. The
Governmeut of Guatema'a deigned not to give an an-
swer. The Salvadores manifested a disposition to form
friendly relations. Honduras recognised the new Ad.
ministration ; but Costa Rica declared a horrible
war of extermination against it. Thus situated,
my Government desires to maintain by diplomatic
intercourse the giod Ulowehip that always united
Nicaragua to this great republic on every ground, and
especially because the great highway between the two
oceans, that is equally interesting to those States and to
Nicaragua, is embraced within the border of the la'tsr.
Barn and educated in Nicaragua, and now for the first
time a visitor to the shores of this great republic, I have
a right both to speak about the facts which have marked
our past, and to anticipate the happiness that we may
expect in the future, as well for my own country as for
these great States.
"Your Excellency may be 'positively certain, that
during the seven months of President Rivas's adminis-
tration there has been no attempt at revolution against
him, and that the whole people of Nicaragua form a
united family, prepared to maintain order at home and
to resist foreign aggression. That my Government has
obyed the instructions of the country has been latterly
manifested by calling the people to elect the supreme
authorities of the country, which election began on the
second Sunday of April last ' • and if the balloting has not
taken place in the Oriental-rend Southern departments,
it was because of the hostile invasion of the Costa

tral position, near the General Post-office." Mr. Dixon
seconded the a►nsndmont. Several members having ex-
pressed their opinions pro and COIL, Mr. Seeley replied,
and the amendment was put and negatived by a majority
of 19 to 10.—Adjourned.

FRACAS IN Tag UNITED STATES

SENATE.

(From the New York Hera
The following will be found to be a strictly cor-
rect and impartial account of the attack on Mr.
Sumner, in the Senate Chamber, on the 22d.
Colonel Preston S. Brooks, of South Carolina,
took exception to the following language, used by
Senator Sumner in his speech on Tuesday last :

STOOK EXCITANGE.—There has been a limited bnsineu
to-day, and prices wero at about the current rates of yes,
terdAy, as follows :—London and North Western Stock,
102—(4, rest Western , 110 i Dss t Lancashire, 7+33—Eastern
Counties, 10—Sheffields, 2.9.1 Midlands, 1/SA—Crystal
Palma Pref., 5.}—Birmingham Canal, 92i--Birmingham
Banking Co., 37.

"With regret I come again upon the senator from
South Carolina (Mr. Butler), who, onaimpresent in this
debate, overflowed with rage at the simple suggestion
that Kansas had applied for admission as a State, and
with incoherent phrases discharges the loose expectora-
tion of hie speech, now upon her representative and
then ripen her people. There was no extravagance of
the ancient Parliamentary debate which he did net re-
peat, ner w,ia third any -possible deviation from
truth which he did not make. But the senator touches
nothing which he does not disfigure with error, some-
times of principle, sometimes of fact. He shows an in
capacity of accuracy, whether in stating the constitution
or in stating the law; whether in the details of statistics
or the diversions of scholarship, "He cannot ope his
mouth, but out there flies a blunder." But it is against
the people of Kansas that the sensibilities of the senator
are particularly aronned. Coming, as he announces,
from a State,' ay, sir, from South. Carolina—he turns
w'th lordly disgust from this newly-formed community,
which he will not recognise even as a body politic '
Pray, sir, by what title does hi, indulge in this egotism ?
Has he read the history of the State which he repre•.
cents ? • He cannot, surely, have forgotten its shameful
imbecility from slavery, confessed throughout the revo-
lution, followed by its more shameful assumptions for
slavery since."
Mr. Butler, the aged senator alluded to, was still
absent in South Carolina, on a visit to his family.
Mr. Brooke waited at tle porter's lodge about an hour
yesterday, and so long this morning, hoping to meet
Mr. Sumner, with a view to attack him. Failing ia this
ho entered:the Senate Chamber to-day, just as that body
adjourned, and seeing several ladies present, seated him-
self on the opposite side to Mr. Sumner, Soon all dis-
appeared but one. Ho then requested a friend to get
her out, when he immediately approached Mr. Sumner,
and said in a quiet tone of voice :
" Mr. Sumner—l have read your speech with great
care, and with as much impartiality as I am capable of,
and I feel it my duty to say to you that you have pub-
lished a libel on my State, and uttered a slander upon a
relative, who is aged and absent, and I am come to pu-
nish you."
At the concluding words Mr. Sumner attempted. to
spring to his feet, showing fight, but while in the act was
struck by Colonel Brooks a back-handed blow acres] the
head with a gutta percha cane near an inch
ht thick, but
hollow, and he continued strikinr, him rig, end left
until the stick was broken into 'fragments, and Mr.
Sumner was prostrate and bleeding on the floor. No
one took hold of Col. Brooks during the time, so quick
was the operation ; but immediately afterwards Mr.
Crittenden ceught him round the arms, when Colonel
Brooks said, " I did not wish to hurt him much, but
only whip him."
No one knew of the anticipated attack but the Hon,
H. A. Edunuudson, of Virginia, who happened not to be
present when the attack commenced. It was reported on
the streets for several days previous that Mr. Sumner
would be armed when he delivered his speech, and that
if occasion required it he wouldCo his weapons. He
was not armed when attacked hy Colonel Br soks to-day
It is said, also, that Mr. Sumner gave out before he
made his speech that he would be responsible for any-
thing he might say.
After his arrest Colonel Brooks went to the office of
Justice Hollingshead, and tendered his bond with secu-
rhies to appear and answer any charge preferred by the
grand jury. But the Ju-tice, deeming the bond prema-
ture, discharged him upon his parole of honour to ap-
near before him again whenever required. Subsequently,
Mr. Brooks WAS complained of .by Mr. William Y.
Leader, on whose oath Justice Hollingshead required
Brooks to give bail in the sum of $5OO as security for
his appearance to-morrow afternoon. • The most intense
excitement prevails this evening among the Nigger.Wer-
shippers, and they intend to-morrow morning to intro-
duce resolutions expelling Colonel Brooks from his seat
in the House. They are working assiduously to accom-
plish this object. but they will certainly fail.
The attack on Senator Sumner creates much feeling
in Boston and throughout the State. The indignation
is general, irrespective of political sympathies. The first
account was read in the House of Representatives, and
caused much escitement.•
In the House of Representatives, Mr. Temple (A.mc-
rican) of Framingham, offered an order that a joint spe-
cial committee be appointed to consider what action this
Legislature shall take in reference to the assault recently
