Master General who has lately been detained in Tennessee by indsposili0n is now on his way to this city thoughit said in very feeble health The Nor them members will find mild and delightful climate 1 Pennsylvania Avenue to-day. Washington is not only 6ealihful at all seasOns but autumn and spring here gre much more pleasant than at the the North to the appointment of Printer and Clerk to the House of Representatives. Both are very important supposed that the Adminis.raon party in the House will make desperate effort to have Printer cho- sen, at this session, under the rule of lSl9 for the no chancs. The Wings and Conservatives will con osn bine to deiea. this attempt; but if the election be brought on, the candidate upon whom they. may unite will undoubtedly bs elected. Any Ialtering q cess of the Van Buren candidates. It ;s of course, well understood Ut the present day, that the printing of Congress is bestowed by the dominant party in Congress only upon one who. by the support of
 press, will promote the interests of that party. This is just well understood if it one of the con. ditions of the Printers bond. The choice of Prin. ter is in this way made matter of great public con. cesn. It is contribution out of the publc funds for the support of great political engine at the seat of
 The election of Clerk in the place of the late MT. Franklin, IS also matter of importance.
 The Administration have three candidates, yz.- Messrs Livingston, of New York. Buckler, of Penn. and McClintock Young chief Clerk of the Treasury inc whigs will nominate Mir. Samuel Shock, of Pennsylvania, Mr. Matthew St. Clair Clarke, former ly Clerk of the House, and MT. Arnold Naudan. Ex. l Senator from Delaware. Of these candidates Mr. Shock seems to have the best chance of success at | The Conservatives have also put in their claim to the office. and learn that Mr. Reuben M Whitney, now of this city, will be brought forward as their can
 The An,sub.Treasury men must combine, in this election, Administration candidate will succeed. l The whigs will, probably, settle ultimately upon Mr. Shock. but the Conservatives hold the balancs l From fAe Albany Argus.
 The Lieutenant Governor has issued two procama.
 ons, detailing the events attendant on the late inva | eDt corps who successfully repellsdit. The Kingston Herald contains the following sta,ement Of the loss sustained by the invaders:
 It supposed that 90 of the invaders were killed the l2lh, and 35 on the l6.h-total 65. On Tuesday 90 prisoners were taken and l32 surrendered on Fri. day. They were all sent to Fort Henry, except l6 wounded, who were placed in the new hospital.
 As there is great difference of opinion respecting the number of pirates killed, some persons stating it low. and others as much too high. we may remark that our informant went over the field on Saturday morning. and counted over fifty dead bodies; seven wore burned in the barn fired by the rebels and prob. ably few more in the houses, making the total near " as we have given. Another person who was there the whole time. estimates the rebels slain at from 50 to6O.
 The number killed on Tuesday cannot be correct
 is o them Tss So One he had crePt there for shelter during the cannonade, and the fall of the chimney. had blocked up the en. trance. so that he was horribly baked to death when | the house was burned Some of our own wounded lay on the field from Tuesday to Friday, and must have suffered greatly. One of them lay SO near the mill that he could talk with the pirates. and he begged not consent. This Pole also hung up Lieut.. Johnson body tree by the feet after stripping it naked
 He says that he did go .o ksepit from being eaten by the piga These animals fed on the dead from Tues. day night to Friday.

 CANADIAN lsyAsros-U s. Pvi:oners.-For about Canadian fronier have been undergoing an examina. ton before Judge Conkiing in this place They were arrested we are informed. by the U. 8. Marshal hs own official responsibility. acting from information l obtained on the spot. without process.
 l Among the persons arrested, was John w Biree, whose name appears 10 printed proclamation, pro- duced upon his examination on Monday before Judge Conklng, as that of the Brigadier General com. manding the Eastern Division" lie was required to ted for his offences. Another of the individuals ar- l rested was William N. Sprague, who had command of the schooner Charlotte of Oswego one of the yes. muske,s, and other arms together with large qusn. tily ot ammunition. He was required to give bail in 5000 Another of fhe prisoners. is William Johnson, some months past. as the .. notorious Bill Johnson
 He Is still in custody awaiting his examination, which we understand will come on in the course of day oI two It ie well known that the name of this individ ual has figured large in the late sborve and lamenta ble attempt at invason,-but whether eufcient evi dence can bs adduced against him to bring his cas- doubtful. He has. however. long since been indicted
 in the United States Court for offences alleged to have been committed during the disturbances year ego founded on that indictment. There are one or twt others of less notoriey under arrest of whose casei og prospects we know nothing.
 er Later accounts state that ]. w. Birge and Bill Johnston had made their escape from Auburn. and that the Marshal had published handbill offering reward Of s5o for the fomer and e2OO for the latter The National Inselligencer of Monday contains the annexed paragraph :" We are concerned to kea that both the Kentucky Senators, Mir. Clay and Mir Crittenden. are detained on the road. from having sustained severe. but it is believed not dangerous cOntusions, by being overturned in . stage coacl near Brownsville. Several members of the House o Representatives. and other passengers in the sam, carriage, escaped without serious injury"
 Since the above was in print, we have received th, Baltimore ChEonicle of yesterday morning, whcl states that Messn. Clay and C.enden. afisT the ac cdent were able tO resume their journey the day had arrived in Baltimore. and that MT. Clay wil nDs be detained by the occurrence from hs egslativ, duies.--N Y. Cosrisr.
