A little before noon, the Princess Victvria brought

About two o'clock some twenty prisoners were
marched into town from Lachine, escorted by
party of the Lachine Cavalry. They were taken
in arms at Chateauguay, and were secured with
ropes usual, but there were some distin-

w ASHlNOTON JUNE Il. 1000. .
In the Senate today we bad a bit OF a me.
o.dramaiic. iragical, comical and laughable
farce. MIR Niles was the star Of the piece,
n nd ncqniiird himself rs usual The play
was, Mr. Niles presenting the instructions
OF his Legislature to use his exertions
against the odous Snb-Trrasury Bill now
before the House Of Representatives. Mr.
Niles presented his instructions, which was
expected, and was oil well enough. Then
came however, the protest against them. and
the address of .Messrs Niles and Perry
Smith to the People and Legislature of Con-
necticut,- demonstrating against both for
making Connecticut a Wing State A
speech from Mr. Niles followed the address,
aud formed the finale Of the first part.

The SUB-TREAsURY BILL.--Great fears
continue TO be entertained that this most dan
gerous measure will be inflicted upon the coun-
try, though by very small majority. The
Importance Of the question will be seen at once,
when it is considered that if the bill should be
passed now, though it will be comparatively
temporary measure, yet it cannot be repealed
at the nert session of Congress as the admins
tration will continue to have majority IN the
Senate. That body being elected for so long
a term, and so large portion of il having been
favorable to the Jackson Van Buren, policy, a
considerable time must elapse before the effects
of the revolution in public sentiment can mani
fest itself there. But If the bill should mol pass
at this session, there will be no chance for it in
the next House. Hence the anxiety that is
felt upon the subject, at the present moment
The bill is under debate, and il is said Mr.
Prentiss the new member from Mississippi, has
made most able and convincing speech
against it. The .Madisonian continues to ar
que that il cannot pass, and in confirmation of
the opinion republishes the yeas and nays on
the motion for laying the sub treasury bill of
the last session on the table, on the 18th of
October, which were, yeas 100, nays lO7; and
subjoins the following remarks:
Since that vote the opposition have gained
Messrs Kennedy, Robinson, Prentiss. and
Word, and lost Mr. Lawer, (dead) Mr. Smith,
(absen) and Mr. Patton, (resigned.)
The sub treasury has gained one in place of
Mr. Patton, viz. Mr. Banks; and lost Messrs
Cilley, Carter, McKim, (dcad) Clairborns. and
Gholson, (leit at home, and probably Mr. Bruyn,
sick.)
Including Mr. Snyder of Illinois, who has
changed his ground, the opposition loss is a,
and the gain is 4.
The administration gain including Mr. Sny-
der is too; loss a, and probably s.
mr. Jabez Jackson voted against laying the
bill on the table, but is opposed to the bill.
II the elections have operated any changes,
and we hope they have, the reader will perceive,
that upon the basis of the vote OF The extra
session, there is not the slightest chance of the
passage of this miserable bill.
The vote on Mr. Patton's motion to lay the
Senate's bill on the table, taken on the 9th of
March last, was LOG yeas and 9s nays--many
members being absent.
