u. s. CIRCUIT COURT.

The United States Circuit Court
convened in this town on Tuesday
morning last, at 10 o'clock-prcsent
Judges Story and PITMAN. The Court
was opened by an appropriate prayer
by the Rev. Mr.. Howard, when his
Honor, Judge Story, delivered tho
charge to the Grand Jury. The charge
was in Judge Story's usual style, con-
tanning full and clear exposition Of
the highly important duties that belong
to Grand Juries acting under the laws
Of the United States. In the afternoon,
the Grand Jury found and returned
true bill on an indictment against
Thomas Clarke, colored man, for the
murder of John Gray IN African. on
board tho brig Rhoderick Dhu, Of
Providence, whilst on the coast of
Africa Il short time since. "A number
of causes have been disposed Of since
the opening Of the Court-none, how
ever, which it would be proper to re-
port, as they were, nearly all of them,
suits OH Notes and Bills Of Exchange.
The Yearly Meeting Of the FRIENDS,
it is thought, has been more numerous
ly attended this year than has been re-
collected for many years before. The
| h.
House on Sunday afternoon, that hun
drcds went away that could not gain
admission. A number of eminent min
stcrs from abroad, both male and fc-
male, have been in attendance at this
meeting, among whom we mention
Daniel Wheeler and Elizabeth Robe
son, from England-Joscph Edgcrton,
of Ohio-John Wood ard Elizabeth
Coggcshall, from the State of New
York-.John Warren, Xaccheus Bow
erman. and Thos. Jones, from Maine
John Wilbor, and John Mcdcr, both Of
this State the former from lIopkinton,
the latter from Providence.
These meetings, which are chiefly for
business connected with the great in
tcrests of the Society at large, call to-
gcther, very many from places remote
from each other, who seldom meet ex-
ccpt at this particular season, and arc
calculated, by the interchange of good
feeling which the occasion naturally in
spires, to strengthen that bond of union
and harmony SO firmly and universally
subsisting between them. Since their
last Yearly meeting here, several Of
their leading and most prominent mcm-
bers have paid the great "dcbt Of Ma
ture," of whom none took deeper in
tcrcst, or were more jealous 10 pro-
mote the general good of the Society,
than the lamcntcd STEPHEN GOULD,
and the venerable CLARKE RoDMAN,
both of this place. They will long live,
we doubt not, in the kind remembrance
of the Friends who annually assemble
hcrc-as well us of their fellow towns
men.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.

CoNGREss. In the House ON Friday, a
lone course of proceedings was had on an
attempt to procure an amendment Of the
journal of the proceeding day. The pro-
ceedngs ended in laying the whole sub
ect on the table.
Mr.. Crabb's resolution for reconslderlng
the vote for the appointment of commit,e
on the New Jersey elections, then came
up.
Mr.. Wise expressed wish that the vote
might be reconsidered aud that the House
might come to direct question upon the
Governors returns in favor of the New
Jersey members, saying that if the House
could come to direct vote on the question
Who had the prima facie evidence OF seats
from New Jersey, he would be SILENT
There was general cry OF "agreed. Mr.
Wise repeated the proposition, ana there
appearing to be general assent to 1t, the
Chair put the question-"Hs it the pleasure
of this meeting that the vote on the resolu-
ton for the appointment of committee be
reconsdered?" There was a general re-
sponse GAY, ay" No voice oblectlng,
the Chair pronounced it an unanimous
vote.
After much discussion as to matter OF
forms. and some confusion, Mr.. Wise's
proposition was finally submitted as fol-
lows:
ResoYyed That the credentials of tho
following members, John B. Aycrigg, John
p. b. Maxwell, VIM. Halsted, Charles
L. S,ratton and Thomas Jones Yorke, are
sufficient to entite them to take their seats
in the house, leaving the question OF con-
tested election to be afterwards decided by
the House.
The vote was taken thereon, and proved
to be ayes III, nays ll7-atie. So the res
olution was lost.
Mr. Smith, of fMaine, then offered ares
oution, that the House proceed at once
to the election of a Speaker, which was
discussed until near midnight, when the
House adjourned without coming to
vote upon it.
On Saturday, the resolution was agreed
to, the Wing members Withdrawing their
opposition and the House proceeded TO ball
lot. Six ballots took place, WITHOUT d
choice, 234 members being present.
The House then adjourned to Monday.
1t is apparent from this result, that no
choice would have been effected, If The
five New Jersey members had voted.

FOR THE TELEG A II
A HAPPY HON f.

A happ home what higher boon
Was,'er to mortals glven'
This mketh cen the wilderness
A paadise, heaven.
What 10 the wiid dark clouds oil care
AgehickIl gathering,
But Ete needed will they be,
If, meath the parent wing,
The household band be joined-if love
Uoite each lhtobb'ng heart,
All fight are cares and soyrows, when
Each kindly bears his part
External foes exert their power,
And spend their shafts in vain,
When soul with soul united is,
Around one household fame.
But, if within sweet confidence
And trusting love dwell not,
In vain we seek for happiness /:
Earth hath no other spot
Than homes own sacred precincts, where
The flowers of jov are strown,-
When foes within its walls are found,
All better far alone,
TO seek elsewhere resting g-place,-
Or o er the wide earth roam.
Till heavens last messenger doth call
I he soul 10 its long home.
