The prototype Of Mr Woodbury. was old
mother Lobkins, as drawn by Bulwer IN the
novel of Paul Clifford. lie quoted, with
great effect, number Of the maxims which
that worthy attempted to impress OH the
mind of "leetle Paul !" and especially dwelt
upon that in which she bids him TO play chuck
farthing with none but boys less than him.
self, because if they say he cheats, he can
beat 'em! He said this was iavorlte max
i'm with the administration of Jackson. Their
law was club law and he adduced num-
ber Of instances illustrating their practices
with bludgeon and pistol.
Mr.. Prcntiss continued 10 speak with great
spirit and effect until o'clock. When he
sat down Mr.. Cushman of N. II. obtained the
floor, and moved that the committee rise,
which was agreed to; and the House ad-
journed.
In the SENATE, on Friday last, seve-
raj petitions, and large number oi re-
ports from committees, were presented.
The Senate then held short execu-
tive session, and adjourned to Monday.
In the House Of Representatives, Mr..
Haynes moved that the House go into
Committee Of the Whole, for the purpose
Of resuming the consideration of the
Message, but gave way at the request
Of Mr.. Wise to present resolution Tor
printing 10000 extra copies Of certain
doc cuments relative TO defalc cations oi
public officers. The resolution was de-
bated through the days session, and
was several times modified by the mover,
being ultimately reduced to the follow
ing form.
Resolred, That &C, 900 copies extra Of
Document No. 297, Of the second ses-
sion Of the 25lh Congress, and like
number extra Of Document No. 10, OF
the present session, the former relating
to the public defaulters, the latter to the
defalcation of Samuel Swartwout, be
printed for the use of this House.
A large number Of members took part
in the debate, which was not broug ht to
close, but was terminated by The ad.
journment Of the House at 5 o'clock
The National Intelligencer says,
The debate was animated and intel
estihg, conducted with spirit, yet with
out departing from decorum, and Incl
dentally involved much general allusion
TO the policy and practice Of the Admin
isuation, especially in regard to the in
diligence Of, in some cases, re-appont-
ment of known defaulters. Mr.. Wise
again professed his readiness to impe
the Secretary of the Treasury, and con-
vict him out of his own correspondence,
and he was urged to do so by Mr.. Thom-
az, in order that the whole truth may be
pre- sented on both sides. The House
did not adjourn over and Mr. Bond
has the floor for tomorrow.
On Saturday, the House was enga-
ged on private business.

TIE LOUISVILLE MURDER.-Thc fol-
lowing paragraph growing out ofthe late
bloody affair at Louisville, is from the
Journal ofthut place.
Judge s. DIR. Wilkinson, ,MrMurdough,
who took part in the bloody affray at the
Gait House on Saturday evening, were
taken from the Jail yesterday morning,
amidst very large concourse of people
and carried before the Examining Court.
The examination, however, at the soli-
citation of the prisoners, was deferred
till tomorrow. Judge Wilkinson spoke
for considerable time in behalf of him
self and his fellow-prisoners, earnestly
deprecating violence on the part Of the
multitude. The prisoners were then
remanded to Jail.
Mr. Rothwell, who fell in the afray,
was buried yesterday, his body being
followed to the grave by the military,
the fire companies, and an immense pro-
cession Of citizens. There was evident
ly powerful excitement amid the assem-
bled throng-almost too powerful to be
repressed.
We fervently trust, that no violence
will be permitted on the present occa-
sion, to bring disgrace upon Kentucky.
Every good citizen will lend his strength
and influence to uphold the supremacy
of the law and to prevent an infuriated
multitude from usurping the fearful pre-
negatives that belong alone to the judi
cial tribunals of the country.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ofthis State,
will convene in Providence on Monday
next, by adjournment.

Col. j. G. ToTTEN.-This truly val
liable and accomplished officer, has re-
Gently entered upon his duties as Chief
of the Engineer Department, at WASH
ington. BY an order from the Secreta-
ry Of War, all communications for the
Department, will therefore hereafter be
addressed Immediately to him.
Col. Totten, we presume, will now
be under the necessity of taking up his
residence at Washington. He has re-
sided in this place about sixteen years,
during which period he has been assidu-
ously and untiringly engaged as Super
intendent in the construction of the ex-
tensive Fortifcations erecting at Fort
Adams. AS skilful and experienced
Engineer, he has but few, if any supe-
riors-to this the immense Public Works
referred to will bear ample and endur-
ing testimony.-As gentleman, no
one, we venture to say, ever deported
himself nearer to the true meaning Of
the term, in all his intercourse with our
citizens and those in his employ. Ho
will leave behind him in Newport many
warm friends, who while they feel graf
flied at his promotion to station he 30
well deserves, will nevertheless most
sincerely regret his removal from a.
mOng them.

FRoM FLoRIDA.-On Saturday, the first
December, the United States transport CO.
lumbia, arrived hence at Saint Marks, with a
detachment Of fifty six recruits from Jefferson
Barracks for the Sixth Infantry, now operat-
ing in Florida. The detachment was order
ed to Fort Frank Brook, and left in the
steamer lizard on the 9TH inst.
The Indian depredations continue at i'll
tcrvas. On the 9Th instant, party of fifteen
or twenty attacked three Wagons on the
Magnolia road, eight miles from Camp
Wacissa. The Wagons were rihed Of their
contents, but the negro drivers were unmo-
Tested. The Indians were pursued, but un-
successfully, by detachment OF troops from
the camp. Who can forctell when this state
of things will be terminated in Florida p
Scarcely under the existence of the present
administration, il is to be feared.
