The Panama Congress occupied the atten-
ton of the House Of Representatives, yesterday,
to the exclusion of all other business. The
hinge upon which the discussion turned was
the propriety Of calling on the President for in
formation while the subject was pending in the
other branch of the Legislature, and although
no vote was taken on the resolution making
the call, the disposition Of the House was clear
" manifested by pointed refusal to lay the
resolution on the table. It seems to be no
longer doubted that an overwhelming majority
APPROVES the course the President has pursued;
and tina, the Senate, viii confirm the appoint
ments of the necessary agents or ministers, is
considered as certain. 1t was said and believ-
ed in the House, yesterday evening, that the
confirmation had already taken place, but the
rcpor, was afterward found to be premature
the sang froid with which the information was
received, however, proved incontesdbly, that
such result was anticipated by all.

SINGULAR ard Dhlancholy Occurrence.

Singular ard Melancholy Occurrsnce.-Captain
Wise, of the brig Com. Preble, from n. York,
has communicated to US the following inter-
esting circumstances relating to young man
who shipped with him in New-York, in order
that his relations may be apprised ofhis unhap
DIV fate. His name was SAMUEL De MORT; his
age about %. On the second night Of the voy
age he commenced praying aloud, getting on
his knees, and begging the crew to pray with or
for him. He informed Capt, w. who interro-
gated him on his distress of mind, that two
angels had appeared to him and told him that
he must die in two days from that time-and he
would therefore pass the interval i'll prayer
whenever the ships duty would permit him.
At o'clock on Friday morning (the day TO
which he had alluded) he was missing after
most strict search, and there is no doubt Of his
having been lost overheard Capt Wise states
that this young man exhibited no signs of in
sanity-performed all the duties required Of
him with alacrity, and enjoyed the confidence
and good opinion Of all on board. We sincere
lysympathize with his relations, who, we un-
ders,and, arc respectable citizens of n. York.

On Wednesday evening last, sth,) when the
stage from the West arrived at Caughnawaga,
the passengers were surprised TO find that they
had no drirer! After waiting in vain for
him to open the door, they helped themselves
out, and then found that the horses had brought
up regularly before the stage house, the leaders
having divided on the sign post. Their asto-
nishrnent at the absence of the driver, however,
was succeeded by other emotions, when a man
rode up, at full speed and informed them that
he had found the unfortunate linesman three
miles back, on the road. 1t appeared on fur
Their inquiry, that he had fallen from his seat,
when near Dockstader's Inn, and his cries be-
ing drowned by the noise Of the wheels on the
rough and frozen road, the passengers knew
nothing of it until they arrived at Caughnawa-
ga-the horses having kept the road them
selves, in dark night, and at their usual pace,
for three miles.
The unfortunate driver, as our informant
states, fell before the wheels, which passing o.
yer him, broke both his leg and his thigh. He
was carried into house near at hand, and cur
gical aid obtained immediately-but his reco-
very is considered quite doubtful. We have
not learned his name or place Of residence
Whether this distressing accident was owing
merely to the jolting Of the stage, or whether
the unhappy man had fallen asleep, is matter
for conjecture Johnstopn ~ Y. Republican.
