appeal By the Speaker to the House.
The Speaker, iAIr. Clay,) rose from his
place, and requested the indulgence of the
House for a lew moments, whilst he asked
is attention to a subject, in which he felt
himself deeply concerned. A note had ap-
peared this morning in the National lnteli-
gencer, under the name, and with the au-
thority, as he presumed, of member of this
House, from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Kremer,)
which adopted, as his own, previous letter,
published 10 another print, containing seri-
Gus and injurious imputations against him,
and which the author avowed his readiness
to substsntiate by proof. These charges i'm
plicated his conduct, in regard to the pending
Presidential election; and the responsibility
of the station which the member holds, who
thus openly prefrrs them. and that of the peo-
pie whom he represents, entitled them to grave
atten ion. 1t might be, indeed, worthy OF
consideration. whether the character and dig
nifty of the House itself did not require full
investigation OF them, and an impartial decis-
ion on their truth. For, if they were true, if
he were capable, and base enough, 10 betray
the solemn trust which the Constitution had
cou6ded in him if, yielding TO personal views
and considerations, he could compromit the
highest interests Of his country, the House
would be scandalized by his continuing TO oc-
Gupy the chair, with which he had been so
long honored, in presiding at its delibera-
tions, and he merted instantaneous expulsion.
Without, however, presuming TO Indicate
what the House might conceive il ought TO
do, on account of its own purity and honor,
he hoped that he should be allowed respect
fully to solicit, in behalf Of himself, an inqui-
~ into the truth of the charges 10 which he
referred. Standing in the relations to the
House, which both the member from Penn
sylvania and himself did, it appeared to him
that here was the proper place TO institute
the inquiry, in order that if guilty, here the
proper punishment might be applied, and, if
innocent, that here his character and conduct
may be indicated. He anxiously hoped,
thereio ore, that the House would he pleased TO
direct an investigation to be made into the
truth of the Charges. Emanating from the
source which they did, this was the only no.
tice which he could take of them. If the
House should think proper to raise commit
tee, he trusted that some other than the ordi-
nary moue puTsuel ny lne prtCtlCe ana rules
of the House would be adopted to appoint the
committee.
The Speaker having concluded his observa
tons, and called Mr.. Taylor to the Chair, in
his place,

of the Speaker he entered on the Journal, and
that the address and the document would be
referred to committee of nine members.

Yesterday, the funeral of his late Excellen-
cy, accompanied by civil and military honors,
was observed with much solemnity, by the
direction of the Legislature. The order Of
procession, previously determined upon, was
arranged by Benjamin Pollard, Esq. who had
been appointed by the Legislative Committee,
Marshal of the day. The escort under Brig
adler General Lyman, consisted of two regi-
ments of Infantry in uniform, consisting of
seven companies of Light Infantry, and four
OF Riflemen, from the neighborhood and one
regiment of Artillery. The troops assembled
on the common, according to order, early in
the forenoon, and were in line, opposite the
State House, in Beacon street, at quarter
before one o'clock. At one o'clock precisely,
the coffin was borne by the underakers to the
front gate, and received by the troops with
the military honors due to the high rank of the
deceased. The troops were then counter
marched, and the procession having formed,
moved from the State House, through Beacon
street to the Stone Chapel, thence through
Common street to the bottom of the Great
Mall, down Boylston and Washington street,to
the Old South Church. The pulpit and. gal
leries of the building, which was crowded
with ladies, were dressed in solemn black, and
the coffin was laid in the broad aisle, bearing
the late Governors hat, sword and gloves.
The Sermon, by Rev. Mr.. Sharp, from the
goth Psalm. 10Th verse, " So teach as 10 mum
Der our days, that ,Ue apply our hearts unto wis-
dom" was quite appropriate, and contained
brief biographical narration of the public life
and services of he late Governor. The Pray
er, by Rev. Mr.. jerks, was feryent and i'm
pressive.
The procession was then reformed and
moved from the Church through Washington
street TO Market street, up Market street cross
ing Court street, to Common street, and thence
to the Granary Burial Place. The body was
entombed in the Cemetery of Park street
Church, and the funeral volies were fred over
his remains, by the Light Infantry. The pro-
cession then passed the line of troops in double
quick time to the state-House where it sepa-
rated.
Governor Brooks attended the funeral of
his late worthy compatriOt, in one of the
mourning coaches.

In our last paper we announced the death

wealth. On Monday morning, the melancholy

caused the road over which they had

subside considerably, forming kind of
deep gully, full sixty feet across. On

The water was frequently up to the
necks OF the amazed passengers, and at
one terrible moment passed over the
heads OF some of the ladies. The unex-
pected danger, and ignorance of their
exact condition, struck them with con-
sternation; they were certain of moth
ing hut that there was horrid struggle
between life and death. Their horses,
however, SWAN forward vigorously, and
these good animals at length landed

DARING ROBBERY.


Yesterday, a little before two O'Clock,
two fellows entered the Brokers' Office
of Mr.. Alexander Benson, on Third
street, few doors south Of Market,
and committed a robbery Of almost un-
paralleled audacity.
Soon after the men entered, one of
them asked Mr.. Benson TO give him a
ten-dollar note in exchange for ten dol
lars in silver. Mr. Benson mounted the
money. and found that thSsS tas but
nine dollars and half Tts man put
his hand into his pocket as. AZ TO draw
out another half dollar, and Mr.. Benson
turned round TO get the ten dollar note.
AT this moment he received a blow on
the side of his head, and fell senseless on
the toor.-On recovering, he found the
fellow who struck the blow standing o.
yer him, and his own hat filled with mo-
ney. This he pushed under the coun-
ter.
Just at this instant Mr.. Lamb, the
President of the Mechanics Bank, en-
tered the Office, and was saIuted by the
villain with blow on the side of the
head. Mr.. Lamb staggered but did not
fall. Then he attempted to seize the
villain, but the latter drew a Iirk, pick
ed up his hat, in which he had put a
quantity of money, and escaped.
The fellow who stood over Mr. Ben
son, Mr.. Lamb mistook for clerk in the
office, aud, in the confusion of the mo.
ment, he escaped also. Both flew up
Elbow-laue, and though the alarm was
Immediately given, were not overtaken
by them.
The money stolen consisted of 800
dollars in New-Hope notes, and about
1000 dollars in current notes Of different
banks. The New. Hope notes are all
registered, in the name of Mr.. Benson,
at The Bank, and will, ii is hoped, lead
to detection of the scoundrels. ..,
The bludgeon, with which Mr.. Ben
son was struck, was wrapped up in a
handkerchief, which has, on inspection,
been pronounced a "New- York handker-
chief" 1t is deposited at the Mayors
Office.

Breach Of promise of Marriage.--On
Wednesday came on for trial before the
Hon. Judge Edwards, the interesting
case of M'Kee VS.. Nelson, for breach
of promise of marriage. The plaintiff
proved the promise by showing that the
affair had SO far progressed, that dresses
had been purchased for the express &C.
casion, and other pre- parations had been
made for the celebration of the mar
riage. The parties are both very re-
spectacle; the defendant is well known
as a celebrated classic teacher, in this
city; has been blind for many years ;
and at the time the intimacy was broken
off with the plaintiff, was a widower,
with six children. The jury retired al
o'clock, and this morning returned a
verdict for the plaintiff Of 5000 dollars.
