[ Core, pondcnce OF the n. Y. Com. Advertiser
WAslIiNGToN, August 30th.

Intense interest is felt here, in all cir
cles, as to the results which day or two
may bring forth.
The members Of The Wing party in
1.-The House had n caucus yesterday alter
noon, and consultation was held by the
Wings Of the Senate. The result is that
the House will probably agree to the
Senate's amendment to the land bill and
that that bill may pass, though IN ioin'
HAT will render il imperative. The
Senate will PASS the fiscal corporation
bill, witl.-tlsc fs!l #nowled ge that il will
be vetoed. The latter course, however,
Is considered an uniultuna,c ono by the
moderate Wings. /, mus, lead to sef-
aration OF the friends of MIR. Clay from
the administration party, and to an even
,ual dissolution Of the Cabinet
There was a general assembly of the
Wings last night, At the house Of Mr..
Criitenden, where the greatest harmony
prevailed. A committee was sent Tor
the President, and he came. "Rumor
says" farther, that he shook hands with
MIR. Clay, and took glass of wine will,
him. As far az this goes it looks like
Cancellation but the appearances OF
dis,rust and disafiection in other quarters
are so strong, that we cannot hope for
harmony. All would be well enough il
the Wings were content to drop the bank
question, Tor the present, after the first
veto, and allow the President time, which
he has not yet had, to frame scheme OF
/ finance, accommodated to the wants OF
the country aud the views of the state
rights portion of the Wing party. Even
after the second veto, there might be
complete harmony and union among the
Wings in Congress, and between them
and the Executive, upon all other sub
ecis, but the temper, and perhaps, The
interests Of the larger portion Of the
Wing party will not allow of that.
The tone Of exaggerated and gra'ui-
tous insult already assumed toward the
President, shows Us what wo are to ex-
pect hereafter. The ground taken by
Mr. Gushing, in his speech in reply to
Mr.. Arnold aud Mr.. Bolts, is the only
one nn which the Wings, as party, cor
stand. The speech will, ! hear, appear
in the Intelligencer Tomorrow. ! hope
The Wings will read il before they join IL
the denunciatiop Of the President, and
in the desiruction Of their own party.

Mr.. Potter also advocated the passage
Of law that would fix severe penalty
upon the owners of dogs running at
large in our streets.
Mr.. JOS. T. Perry stated, that he had
been informed number OF dogs had
been sent here from New York, TO be
kept during the operation Of the dog
law in that city, and that was one rea-
son why we had such an unusual num-
ber running about our town at the pres
ent time.
Mr.. Pearce appeared in his usual elo-
quent strain in behalf Of the dogs, and
cautioned the citizens not TO be too pre-
cipitatc in their legislation upon the
canine race.
The freemen generally were, notwiih-
standing, fully prepared to pass an ci-
Gectual law, and after Mr.. p. had con-
cluded,
Voted, That the Town Council be re-
quested to enact such AL ordinance as
in their discretion may seem necessary,
and meet the views of the citizens.
Mr.. ID. G. Dcpham, Coroner, made
n statement in behalf Of Mr.. Francis
b. Peckham, who, he said, was desir-
Gus of having his fine RENTED which
he had incurred in consequence Of re-
fusing to obey the summons to attend
a Coroner's Inquest on the body of
man who was somo time since found
dead in the outskirts Of tho town, and
who was supposed to have died OF the
small pox. The Corner was in favor
of remitting the fine, as he was now
satisfied that Mr.. p. refused on account
Of the fear he entertained Of spreading
the disease, never having had it him
self, or the kline pox that he knew Of.
This was deemed a sufficient excuse,
and Mr. Peckham's fine was thcroupon
RENTED.
Nlcssrs. ID. J. Pearce, NJ. Hall, and
NJ. Freeborn, were appointed commit
tee to draft regulations respecting the
location Of slaughter houses aud report
at next meeting
MIR. Z. W. Lawton, Street Commits
sioner, asked for an additional appropria-
tion of $500, and gave satisfactory rea-
son for the appropriation,-bm nothing
being expressed in the warran, in refer
ence to it, on motion Of Mr.. Pearce, the
subject was postponed indefinitely.
The meeting then adjourned, sine die.
The following persons were admitted
free, on Tuesday, viz Seth Baiemn",

A DELIoHTFUL ScENr.-We under
stand that Captain Moore, ofthe United
States navy, recently, for the first time
since his station at this place, shipped u
crew Oh board his vessel. AT night, he
informed them that he was in the habit
of reading his bible every night, and II
they chose, they mght join hun; and all,
with one accord, came forward so that
The open sky lights above the cabin were
surrounded with heads, intently listening
to the voice Of their commander, as he
read the word ofllfe. He then commen-
ded them 10 God, and bade them good
night. Soon after there came along o
pleasure boat, with a party of gentlemen
and ladies', who we're engaged, agreea-
bly, TO the apostolical injunction, beng
merry, in singing psalms. As they came
near, some Of the crew sung out, "cap-
tain, we know that tune !"--"Well," |"
he replied, "strIke the next verse" So
they all struck in, and sang the following
verse with great enthusiasm, and the
compliment was returned from the boat
with waving of handkercbiefs, sc. As
The boat, passing round, again neared
the ship, the sailors called out, "capiain,
we know the Missionary bymnw "Well,
sing IT," hc replied. So they struck up
at the top ol their voices
"From Grecnlard's icy mountains &e."
