FOREIGN MEMS

Since our last there have been two arrivals from
Eogland. tho Great Westsrn at New York and
the Caledonia at Boston. The principal news by
tho Great Western is the meeting of Parliament
the Queens specch-the inner dment to the adj
dress by the Tories, and the defeat ofthe Wings
after four nights debate, by majority of TO-
The Wing Ministry resigned, and the Queen sen,
for Sir Robert Peel to form u new Ministry.
The weather has been remarkably fine; the
crops had materially improved the harvest in the
southern counties had made great progress free
wheat 4 bushel cheaper, and -four is Is. a
sack cheaper than it was the week before
The harves, in France vas very promising; the
rest of the news from the Continent of Europe is
not very important.
The money market ia without any material
change.
The Caledonia arrived al Boston on Saturday
last, bringing some additional, though not mpor.
tant news. The accounts Of the harvest throus hot,
England we're more favorable, and the late rise in
the prices Of flour and grain has not been sustain
ed.
The English Ministry, at the head of which wa.
Lord Melbourne, had resigned their offices, and q
with Sir Robert Peel as the Premier, had
succeeded.
Mr.. Rotbuck put several questions TO Lofd Pal
merston in the House of Commons on the 25th ult
respecting the Mcleod case but nothing new was
elected, Lord Palmerston refusing to give any ex
planation further than, that nothing could be more
honorable than the conduct of the American Gov
eminent was in this matter.
The Colonial Society met at their Club House,
ST. James square. on the 30th u, to take into
consideration the Nc Leod case and it was agreed
TINT resolutions of remonstrance should be for
warded Immediately to the American Congress.

ter Of Mr.. Ewfso, prove rhe iamentabe truth, thai,
Mr. TYtgR has forfeited the confidence which the
Wing patty rsPosed in him, ard can never regain

In the face Of this fact, conjure our friends to
lie yet Of good cheer. The political revolution
which they have effected, has not been fruitless.
alihongh the measure Of relief which The country
expected, from the Wing ascendeney, fails far short
OF Just hope and expectation by Of the gross
detection Of tie President. But fheres no reason
to despair. The power Of the Wing party is ade-
qgate TO the protection Of The country and have
no cause TO doubt that upon every proper occasion
it will be exeued 10 tina, behalf

WINCHESTER, NEPT, o. io4l.
To The Editor IF he Republicans
SIR the following communication
was received too late for insertion in the
Virginian of this week, as was requested
by the writer, or TO be noticed by US in
any way and therefore transmit it TO
you, as desired to do, to appear in your
mex, paper. In doing 50 we deem it pro-
per to notice, that in the V!rginian, we
made no "insinuation" whatever, as is
charged by the writer, and if there was
any "gross and injurious libel" published,
the Virginian was in no way responsible
for it, ms we confined oui statements ca
ciasire1y TO the proceedings of the House
as reported in the Washington papers, and
to the extract from the Index" referred
to in Mr.. Barton's communication. 1t
remained, OF course, for MIR. 3. to explain
to his constituents, which they had a RICH:
to expect, the cause Of his absence from
the House at the time of lis final vote, if
he deemed such explanation necessary.
Having published the proceedings of the
House IN the Virgnian, such exposition,
il 10 respectful terms, would necessarily
have been given by US, as an act Of JUS
tce to Mr.. Barton. In transmitting the
communication in your paper, we request
you 10 give also the above.
Yours respectfully,

VEInEE LIVES LOST.


The following narrative OF the mclancho-
II accident which occurred at the entrance
to or halbor on Saturday night last, we OK
1.-The steamboat New England, Captain
Oliver. downward bound, came 70 about IL
O'Clock, al the beacon Light house pier, hay
ing on board Mr.. Joseph King. his vile,
mother-in-Iaw Mrs. lloldship, three chill
den and nurse named Barbara William
son, destined for this place, on a visit 10
his parents. The Captain refused 10 enter
hcharbor, alleging that the channel was SO
shallow rs to cndanger the safe passage OF
his boat, and proposed sending Mr. Ming
and family ashore IN his yawI. Mr.. King
preferred proceeding 10 Buffalo and return
ing the mex, day by The first boat; but on the
assurance Of the Captain that the yawl was
as safe as the steam boat, he finally acccdcd
to the proposition, and embarked together
with another passenger, and three deck
hands. They had rot rowed far until It
was discovered that The plug belonging to
the escape in the bottom OF the yawI, "os
out, and the water rushing in; failing to get
it stopped they pat about and rowed tor the
pier, on nearing which the stranger, passen-
gor, leapcd out with bow line IN hand, the
yawl struck, was made fast, and from her
position very naturally carcercd and PrccI-
ritaled the entire family Of Mr.. King, who
we're near the stern, into the water, at that
place more than two iathoms deep. Mr.
King by his own exertions succeeded first
in rescuing Mrs. IIoIdshp whom he placed
on the pier: then his wife, who in the mean
time had sunk, passed under the yawl and
came up on the other side, still holding,
true TO a mothers instinct, her youngest
child with firm grasp. The other TWO
children, fine son and daughter, and the
nurse, went down and were lost
"The boat remained out until morning,
and then came in 10 the dock, landing the
bcrcavcd remnant Of n most interesting
family, worn down with fatigue and expo
sure, and almost distracted with the heart
rcndng and melancholy disaster Of the
night.
s'Search was Immediately commenced
for the dead bodies, and those Of the nurse
and little boy were found on Sunday. On
Monday the search was continued by Crap
pling, and the firing of cannon over the ia
tal spot, and about sun down the rcmainlng
body Of the little girl rose and hoatcd on
the surface. Their remains were followed
to the grave, the former on NJ Monday and the
latter on Thursday, from the house Of Mr..
Thomas King, grandfather the deceased
children, by large concourse Of mourning
relatives and sympathising friends"

DOINGS At WASHINGTON

The last week has been one Of great in
terestand thorough application in Congress.
We give a summary.
The principal bills which have already
become laws. are the Appropriation, Re
lief Of Mrs. Harrison, and the $l2 ,OOO,-
600 Loan Bills Beside the Lana Bill.
the Forhfcatian Bill has passed the House
by 148 to &c, and the NaroI Appropria-
ton (including $3.50, 900 fora Home Squa-
dron) by an almost unanimous vote. Since
passing the latte bill, the HOUSE has been
intently engaged upon Tariff bill (impo-
sing duty OF 20 per cent on all articles
now admitted free, or at less than 30 per
cent? The opposition members general
ly oppose this bill, with some Of the Anti
Tariff Wings from the South, SO that its
fate is doubtful A proposition 10 exempt
Tea and Coffee from duty has been pro-
minently considered; but the debate con-
stantly wanders into a general discussion
Of the policy Of a Tariff in reference to
Protection" or "Free Trade" The
motion now pending is one of Mr. Albert
on, Of n. H., TO strike out the enaeting
clause, which opens the whole merits of
the bill. An effort would be made to take
the bill out Of committee on Friday, but
with dubious prospect OF success.
The SENATE, on Thursday, laid aside
the Bank bill TO take up that reported by
the Judiciary Committee, to establish a
Uniform System Of Bankruptcy through
out the Union. After three days Of vigo-
rous debate, and careful consideration of
lls-being considered by sections the
first day, additional amendments discussed
on the second, the bill was passed on Sa-
,urday, by the following vote.
1EAs-2G. NAYs--23.
The proposition that corporations be
subjected to the provisions of this bill was
made on Friday, by Mr.. Nicholson Of
Tenn. and negatived by the following vote:
YEAs-l6. NAYs-34.
Thus the bill has gone 10 the House,
with every reason to hope tina, it will pass
that body.
The Senate now resumed ION Monday
the consideration of the Bank bill, compile
ted the amendments in Committee, then
considered them one by one after coming
out OF committee, rejected some and modi-
fed others, agreed that the Bank NAV is
sue 50 notes, until Congress shall order
otherwise, and finally prepared the bill for
its third reading. In this shape it was Ia
ken up on Tuesday morning, when Mr..
Clay, Of KY, moved the following amend
ment, intended as acompromisc of the diff
