Eatract of a letter from Washington,

Eahact Of letter from Washington,
dated, March &c.
We have a glorious Dutch orator
here, from Pennsylvania Mr.. Kremer)
who seldom speaks without drawing
members around him, and exciting
broad grins. He yesterday maintained,
that we are the Israelites Of old, and
quoted some new and very strange pre-
misses from the Bible, about our paying
custom house boads.*
The most accomplished parliamenta-
ry orator on that floor is Henry Clay,
and the most influential always self
possessed, prepared for the occasion,
adroit, persuasive, vehement, severe,
conciliatory, just as circumstances re-
quire. Mr.. Livingston utters himself
with difficulty, but abounds in good
ideas and is at times very able. One Of
the keenest and clearest minds in the
House belongs 10 Philip P. Barbour
who seldom speaks, and is always heard
with profound attention. Mr.. Trimble
aims at wit and humor, but not of the
most refined description. Mercer pos
sesses wonderful fecundity of utter
ance displays great deal of research,
but has not good voice or very for
chile manner. have heard his speak
ing compared to that of very well
bred but voluble lady, in drawing
room. Few speakers give more en-
tertainmcnt than old Judge Livermore,
whose plain, manly, and humorous re-
marks, 60 strait to the subject and are
often full of force. His speeches are
generally very short. Mr.. Webster
speaks with much simple dignity, al
ways speaks sense, aims at no orna-
ment-but is able at repartee, and is
heard with the greatest Difference.
Whoever wants to recruit his spirits
should hear Mr.. Tod make summary
reply at the close of debate, in an
swer to half dozen opponents in one
speech.-The strange contortions of
his body, the uncouth gestures, the
long pauses, as if he was in labor for
utterance, the loud and shrill key of
voice, the irresistible humor and biting
sarcasm mingled with sort of grave
good ;humor, form tout ensemble that no
muscles can resist, (if the owner has
any taste for fun y every sentence is a
shot, and he waits between them as if
TO prime and load.
| In late debate Mr.. Cushman of Maine
Showed his erudition, by mterlarding hi'
speech with copious latin quotations, much tt
the annoyance of Mr.. Kremer, to whom they
were perfectly unintelligible. In reply Mr.. K
let off food of his native high dutch, which
proved asinteresting 10 Mr.. c. as his Latin had
been to Mr.. K.

PRESIDENTIAL VESTS.

1t appears, by an article in the Statesman,
that Messrs. J. s.. P. Hone & Co. sold on
Monday, by auction, large quantity Of
black silk vestings, lately imported from
France, stamped with pretty correct likeness
es of several ofthe candidates for the Presi-
dency, with their names printed beneath their
busts. The quality of goods were very near
ly the same {; and the difference lie price may
therefore be taken as a.political thermometer,
indicating the degree of zeal felt by the parti-
Fans of the several competitors. Washington
was struck off at dollar rs cents the yard
Clay at l, 60. jackson at l 87A-and Adams
at 3. rs. The bids became in some measure
local. Jackson went to Philadelphia and
Baltimore--Adams to the east, and Clay to
the west-but as New York had not fully
made up her mind on the Presidential ques-
ton, none but the Washington pattern remain
ed in the city. s-.-.

CoNGRBss.-We find it impossible to con-
tinue our regular Congressional journal, with
out occupying too much room with details,
entirely unnteresting to our readers.
In the Senate, the proposed amendments to
the Constitution, relative to the election of
President and Vice President, have been in
definitely postponed. When the subject was
under consideration, the Caucus principle was
fully discussed, its dangerous tendency expos
ed, and the ridiculous pretence that the men,
ber5, when 50 assembled, acted in their pri.
vate capacity, triumphantly refuted.
The Tariff Bill continues to be the subject
OF paramount interest before the House. Va
rious notifications and amendments have
been introduced into the bill, without howev.
er very materially changing its character.
These were each separately discusst& At
the date of the last accounts, the discussion
had Just commenced on the merits of the Bill.
and it was expected to bring out all the talent
OF the House. From present appearances it
will pro5a5ly pass, III ough not by so large a
majority as its riends had anticipated, sever
al who were originally in ia our of it having
become opposed in consequence of some OF
the amendments.
In the hurry occasioned by issuing our extra
sheet, last week, the following errors in the
communication signed S. escaped detection,
viz. in the 9th line of the first paragraph, for
''anticipatcd1p prospects" read anticipated bros.

CAPITAL TRIAL.-The trial of Mial
Parker, Warren Parker, Margaret Burns
and Nancy Mute, for the murder of
Francis L. Lloid, commenced before the
Supreme Judicial Court, at Concord, Oh
Monday last. This homicide was COM
mitted in that part of this city called
The Hall, on the 18th of May last. The
deceased, after he had received his
mortal wound, was Immediately carried
by his friends to Cambridgeport, where
he died on the morning Of the 18th.
The circumstance of the death having
taken place in Cambridge, rendered it
necessary that the trial should be had
in the County of Middlesex.
The general facts, as they appeared
upon the trial, were, that Lloyd, with
several OF his acquaintance, went from
Cambrldgeport On the evening Of the
18th of May,to that part of Boston where
the crime was committed that they all
visited several of the public Dancing
Halls In Grove-street, together, staying
but short time in each of them, but
having no intercourse, Conversation, or
quarrel, with any of the abandoned and
prot1igate wretches who were there COL
lected; that Lloyd and his friends were
in the street on their return to their
lodgings, when he was suddenly set up
on by man with club, knocked down
beaten and kicked in various parts Of his
body by two men and two women; that
the mortal bruise was received in the
lower part Of his bowels, which was de-
clared by highly respectable physician
'ot this city to be an adequate cause of
his death, and that the deceased unoues-
tionably died of it. 1t appeared that a
female pointed out Lloyd to those by
whom he was attacked, as the person
who had taken her comb and curIs of
hair and that thereupon he was act
ually beaten and kicked to death by the
two men, and the two women, bv whom
he was assailed. 1t did not appear that
Lloyd had given the least provocation,
either to those by whom he was attack
ed, OF to any other person during the
evening on which he was murdered.
The defence set up by the prisoners
Counsel was, that the homicide was
committed under such circumstances as
reduced 1t from murder TO man-slaugh
ter The cause, after a lucid and i'm.
partial charge by the Chief Justice, was
committed to the Jury about O'Clock
en- Tuesday afternoon; who having re-
NAMED together till nine O'Clock on
wednesday morning and having gone
twice into court for further advice and
direction in matters of law, came into
court, and declared, that il was irnpos-
Slble for them to agree upon Verdict
and they were thereupon discharged.
The prisoners will of course stand fur
Their committed till the next term. in
october next, when they will have an
other trial.
