LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.
The fast-sailing ship Sea, Captain Edwards, arrived
at this port to-day, after a quick voyage. She left New
York on the 3d inst., and Sandy Hook on the 4th. The'
Sea has brought five passengers only.
The news is very barren of interest.
At Washington, on the Ist inst , in Senate, the joint re-
solution of the House, to adjourn on the 17th of Juue, was
Adopted. '

Mr. 111,1Dhffie'i tariff resolution, pronouncing the present
rate of duties unjust and oppressive, was taken up and reject.:
ed—ayes 18, noes 25.

In the House of Representatives, Mr. Adams broached the
great principle of the Native American party, i. e., 'the al-
teration of the Naturalization Laws so as to require foreign.)
ers to reside here twenty-one years, instead of five, before
they exercise the 'rights and powers of native-born citi-
zeni ; and he presented a petition from citizens of .Pennsyl7
vania, praying Congress to make this change in. the natu-
ralization laws. In presenting this petition, he supposed
an opinion would be expected froth him on the subject, and
he therefore stated. that the petitioners being unknown to
him, he did not feel bound to support the prayer of the peti-
tion. He moved that the petition be referred to the Judi-
ciary Committee. Mr. Muiphy called for the ayes and noes.
on a motion by Mr. Hammett to lay it on. the table. The
question was ordered, and resulted in 104 votes in. favour of

•
laying it on the table, and only 26 against so doing.
A murder and suicide of the murderer, of a. very horrible
description, had been committed at Philadelphia. The
Philadelphia Ledger says, under date of Saturday, June 1
that a Frenchman named Jules Lesueur, early that morning,
shot his wife in the right side, beiween the fifth and sixth
ribs, and committed suicide by, shooting himself in the left
side. The Coroner convened a jury about eight o'clock,
when the wife was still alive. Augustus Esmoil, keeper of
the French boarding-house, Dock-street, below Third, in
which the deceased resided, knew of no quarrel between de-
ceased and his wife, but papers and documents were found
which madelt evident that murder and suicide were preme-
ditated by deceased. In a letter to Mr. Esmoil, found on a
table, Lesueur begs "pardon of God for his crime " he was
about to commit, gives directions for the funeral, that both
shall be interred in one grave, in plain coffins, the expenses
to be defrayed out of 170 dollars left for the purpose. It ap
pears that suspicions of infidelity on the part of the woman
in refusing to live with deceased, produced this deplorable_
result. She was alive at noon, Saturday, but her recovery
was impossible. She was suffering great pain. She says, he
awoke her on Friday night, asked her to kiis him and on
refusing, he shot her. She is a Creole, of Louisiana, where
she has a sister. Mr. Barbace, of whom deceased was jealous,
is her agent, and at' her desire assisted her to escape from
the power of her husband.
