An incident occurred in the Senate Cham
Der, on Saturday, which perhaps deserves
notlce-W hist the Senate was in session,
piece of iron (part tf a horse-shoe) was
thrown from the gallery INFO the body of the
Chamber, passing near the head of ono or
more Senators. The person who threw If
hastily withdrew from The gallery, but was
followed and apprehended by MIR. Shack
ford, the door-keeper. After being detain-
ed little while, he was released, as we un-
derstand, by the direction oftbe Vice Pres
ident.-Nat Int
The Alexandria Gazette says, that
the missile was near striking the head
ex-senator Poindexter.
We learn that the Vice President was
not in the Chair when the piece of iron
was thrown into the Senate Chamber ON
Saturday last. The person who threw
1T in, made an immediate retreat. On
MIR. Calhoun's being made acquainted
with the circumstance, he ordered the
man to be followed and taken into custo-
dy, which having been done the man
appearing to be somewhat deranged, the
Vice President ordered that he should
not be permitted to enter the precincts Of
the Senate again on any pretence.
