SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.

A respectable woman having left her
child, an infant two years o('age, to
Iplay about the door until she attended
to some household duties, went, when
she had finished, to look for her charge.
The urchin could barely crawl, and
she expected to find it at the door,
there, however, it was not! and the
mother, in considerable alarm, called
on several neighbors cnquiring if they
had seen her child. NJ one had seen
it; and, as considerable time had now
elapsed in making fruitcss enquiries,
the anxiety and tears of the poor wo-
man became proportionabIy augment
ed. Parents can only Judge of her
feelings, when no trace OF her child
could be found. The noighbors kindly

He was, however,no whore to he found,
and it was resolved, us q last recourse,
that the bell should be carried through
the town. In the mean time. the
mother, in a state bordering on dis.
traction, went into her own house TO
rummage every hole and bunker, bed
and cupboard. While thus employed,
one OF her sympathysing friends hap
pened. to cast her eyes to the gable Of
a nelghboring house, and there. with
surprise and horror, discovered the lost
child perched on ladder, within few
steps OF its very top, apparently quite
delighted with its state OF oxaltaiion.
A lady endeavored to induce the am
bilious mite to come down; but no
it shook its head and sat fast. She then
tried to go up the ladder; but, halfway
up, her head grew giddy, and she was
obliged TO descend without accom-
plishing her object. The mother was
informed, by this time, that tie child
was found, but her feelings may be
more easily guessed than described when
she saw its danger. The ladder was
long enough to reach the caves Of the
three-storyhouse, and within foursteps
was her child, holding firmly by one oil

leave to ofIer q resolution directing the ap.
pointment of a Committee of ssUen to inquire
into the causes and circumstances which led
to the death of the Hon. Jonathan CiElev, late
a member Of the House of Representatives
from the State of Maine. Objection being
made by Mr.. Bell of Tennessee, it was there
upon moved that the rule be suspended, so as
to admit the presentation of the Resolution,
which motion for suspending the rule was
carried more than two-thirds voting for it.
!ne resolution. was then offered by Mr..
Fairfield whereupon long, desultory de-
pate ensued. Several propositions to amend
introducec, and the mover finally so modifi-
ed his resolution as to read, that Committee
Of seren be appointed to inquire into the caIIs-
es which led to the death of Mr.. Cilley. and
also, whether any breach of the privileges Of
the members of the House have been com.
mitted. that they may be empowered to send
for persons and papers, and TO sit during the
business hours of the House.
A call for the previous question was reject
ed. motion to postpone the consideration
OF the subject for one week was rejected A
motion to lay the whole matter on the table
was rejected. A motion to reconsider the last
vote was rejected, On all these questions and
the pending amendments, there was a pro-
tracted debate. At length, about four o.
CLOCK, the previous question was again NOV
ca ana carried. This motion cut off two or
three amendments that were. pending. In
the progress ofthe debate, it was evident that
very large majority of the House were fa-
vorahle to the inquiry; but the difficulty
was the extent of power with whichthe COM
mittce should be clothed, and the points of
inquiry which should be presented for their
consideration. The main question, that is.
the appointment of a committee, being now
ordered, the vote was taken by yeas and
nays. and the resolutions carried by an over
whelnling majority.
The most delicate duty which Mr.. Polk
has had to perform since his elevation to the
chair, is the appointment ofthis Committee.
In the debate, it was not party question:
The same remark is applicable to the vote,
as recorded on the journal by yeas and nays.
Will the Committee be selected on political
grounds? think they will not.

LATER FROM EUROPE.
Mn..- Von-- AGo.I

The packet ship Albany, arrived on Satur-
day evening from, Hayre, and has brought us
Paris and Havre papers to the 10Th January,
containing Londondales to to the 18th ofthat
month. We have been for period almost
unprecedented, without the arrival of any of
our numerous packet ships. The present,
brings us dates fifteen days later from Paris,
and nine days later from London.
It is somewhat singular that we should
learn by one arrival the destruction by fire
of no less than three large public buildings:
The Royal Exchange in London, the Italian
Opera House in Paris and the winter Paluce
of the Emperor of Russia in st. Petersburg.
The British metropolis has been Of late years
particularly unfortunate in this respect. It
first lost Westminster Abbey; so venerable
from its antiquity, and with which SO many
historical associations were blended, and now
it is suddenly deprived of its stately CONNER
cial edifice. The Exchange was a qIadran-
gular building of stone, in the centre of which
was an open space, in which the merchants
congregated, and around it was piazza, un-
der which they collected in Indictment weath-
er.

generally speak fayorably of the course pur-
sued bv the Federal government. A meet
ing of the violent radicals was held at tho
Crown and Anchor tavern headed by Hume
and Roebuck, when resolutions were passed
favorable to the pretensions of the insurgents.
This evidently however meets no response
in the public mind or in the course of ths.
government. whose military preparations arc
