A SCENE.
JOHN LOWELL

We have received from three differ
ent sources, all highly respectable, an
account OF Scene said to have occur
red in the House Of Rcprcsen entatives,
near the close Of the last session Of Con-
gress, which we think the People have
ID right to be informed OF. The state
ment is, that after the vote upon Mr..
Polk's Bill providing for Deposites in
State Banks, instead Of the Bank of the
United States, had been taken, and the
ayes and noes read over,-a certain mem
Der demanded to have his name entered
among the ayes, and the Speaker asking
if the member was within the Bar of the
House, when his name was called-as il
seems is required by the rules of tho
House-the said member replied that he
wds within the Bar.--That u member
from Western State then got up and in
as delicate manner as possible, observ-
ed that it had been his impression that
The member from -, was not at the
lime within the Bar.-1hat being called
upon by the. Speaker, again asserted that
ho trds within the Bar at the time; where
upon the Western member rose and in
and positively declared tha, to
ais certain knowledge that mem-
Der was neither within the Bar, nor wilh.
n he House at the time, having himself
cen him enter the House afterwards.

hams Lectures are not SO easily digest
ed "down East" as his bread. Mr..
Graham gave one or moie lectures TO
married ladies', and married ladies Oniu.
No spinsiers, Or male monsters (except
Mir. Graham,) were admitted. As the
ladies' OF ancient Rome Wcie awluly
ANXIOUS to pry into the dongs of the Se-
nate, SO the gentlemen of modern Port
land have been dreadlully curious to
know what Mr.. Graham could preach to
their wives about But the ladies' are
mum, and refuse to tell their liege lords
a word about il; and have passed, in
public meeting, series of resolutions,
declaring on the honor of woman, that
MIR. Graham in his Lectures on the Sci
ence Of Human Life, "has not said or
done any thing which could offend or a.
larm the most laslidious delicacy."--
The ladies' are Of the first respectability,
and this formal declaration on their part
ought cerlalnl Y 10 silence all tongues
In Portland, however, the case appears
to be different, and the newspapers were
at first afraid 10 publish the resolutions.
Nv hat great matter little fire kind
leth."
The New-York Commercial Adverti-
ser IN relation TO the excitement at Port
land, says;-"Now We are opposed to
rloIs IN general, and the late New-York
riots in particular. But circumstances
alter cases." and if Mr.. Graham has
been insiructIng the wives and mothers
oi Portland, to cram any Of his bread
down the throats Of their hush ands and
children, wo don't wonder at tho ex-
citement. We ute Graham dinner
once! And such dnner! But never
mind: 1t only made us sick one week.

A FEMALE LAWYER.

A lady by the name of Bradstreet, has
for some years been prosecuting claims
for land, i'll the ncighborhood OF Utica,
N. York, with zeal and ability which
have won for her, the admiration Of the
disinicrested, and the dread ol the occu
pants Of the property in dispute. She
claims the right of her grandfather, who
held under grants from the proprietary
Government. The estates are Of great
value, and embrace many Of the most
beautiful seats IN and around the place
above named. For many years she and
her daughter occupied hut on some of
the wild lands comprised in tho grants to
her grandfather, with Il view of retaining
their legal possession. While thus sit
uated, their suferings were great, as the
neig hbors in order TO rid themselves Of
such unwelcome residents, refused TO sell
them even the common necessaries Of
life. Indeed, il is said, that their lives
were frequently threatened, and more
than once their humble domici was fired
upon with view Of rousting them.
Driven 10 the utmost extremity, and
being poor, she offered to compromise
her entire claims for $4,000; her pro-
position being rejected, she persevcred,
and being too INDECENT 10 employ coun.
sci, she prosecuted her suits herself, ar
guing dry law points before courts and
juries, with q force and ingenuity which
excited tie wonder aud admiration Of

7 Comm unication from Hon. John LopeH, to
the El.!or Of tie Her0i of the TimeS.l
RoxBURY, July 81, 1854.
Mr.. Edtor:-
The Washington North American
gives all extract from II Speech Of the
Hon. MIR. Pearce, OF Rhode-l Island, de-
livered in Congress on the presentation
Of some memorial from X. Island, in
which the Hon. member is slated to have
made in reference to The Hartford Con-
vention, the following statement, "that
Timothy Pickering, had informed Mr..
Lowell ,-of Massac husetts, that the Con-
yention did not intend halfway mea-
sures-that it was their determination
not to stop short Of a separation Of the
Union, and that the occurrence Of peace
and the victory at ewOrleans, alone
prevented their design from being carried
into execution" Mr.. Pearco is further
reported TO have said-"This iDiorma-
ton from Mr.. Pickering to Mr.. Lo~eH,
as to the design of the Hartford Conven-
ton, was given by tho laitcr to Mr.. Pot
ter, OF Rhode-I Island, and communicated
by him to MIR. Pearce." I
The statement is almost too absurd 10
require notice. That Col. Pickering,
then at Washington, wholly ignorant of
the intention or doings Of the Hartford
Convention, should write to me, in Bos-
ton, intimately acquainted with most Of
the Massachusetts members, to inform
me, what their designs were, is rather
incredible. The FACT is, that no such
letter was ever written, or information
given in any other way, by Col. Picker
ing 20 me, as to the intention or designs
of the Hartford Convention. AS to my
communicating TO Mr.. Potter, what
neper eristed, l can add, that never had
the honor OF a personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Potter, nor was l ever in his
company to my knowledge; nor did l
ever write to him on any subject, SO far
as l can recollect; and as an honorable
man, have no doubt that Mr.. Potter
will confirm this statement. Since l am
obliged, by sense Of propriety, to deny
the facts attempted to be supported by
my testimony, l think it my duty to add,
that l was invited, and did attend
meeting Of the Massachusetts, Deleg utes
to the Hartford Convention, which took
place at Col. Thorndike's the evening
before their departure for Hartiord.-
The whole subject was then and there
fully and eonfdenlially discussed, and l
can aver, that there was unanimous
agreement on the part Of those delegates,
that at the ensuing Convention, as little
should be done as possible, and no more
han should be deemed absolutely es-'
'ential to the allaying Of the public ex-
element. That neither lorcibe opposi-
ion to the existing Government Of the
United States, nor a separation OF the
New England States, were ever propos- 4
ID, or ever mentioned.

Pretty We'll, considering . On Friday
last, after Mr.. Booth had commenced
reading the Declaration Of Indepen-

Hall, and listened for some time with
considerable attention. In a little while,
il was observed that his dander began TO
rise-he exhibited symptoms Of strong
disapprobation; and finally before the
reading was finished, his passion getting
the better Of him, he turned upon bis
heel and swore, he wouldn't stay any
longer to hear the old General abused
in that manner-that il was a pack OF a
