THE FiREMEN turned out yesterday afternoon to welcome No. 8, on its return from New Orleans. From all accounts the Mo- S's have had glorious time in the Crescent City. They were feasted and iete-ed from the word "go." So constant and gen. erons was the hospitality pressed upon them, that they have had no time to sleep. The N, O. Missls- sippi Mo- 2, and the Columbia No. 5, treated them to elegant coations spread atthe Engine House of the former and at the City Hotel On their return they were escorted to the Cars, and having exchanged caps, shirts and belts with each other as tokens of good feeling and hearty fellowship, they parted to the sound of the cheers of their and warm-hearted friends. They reached home in the Echo at about o'clock, and were met b, their brethren of this city and carried to the Ahambra partake of lit tie home hospitality. The following toasts were drunk with tho applause due to the sentiments which they contain.

WAsHINGToN.-In the Senate. on the Both, the bank bill of Mir. Clay under discussion, and an amendment was passed, providing that none but cti- zens or resident aliens, and corporations within the states and territories, should become stockholders.
 There was considerable discussion on this altera- tion in which the leaders of both parties engaged. Mir. Calhoun thought the amendment was hardly me- cessary, inasmuc as few foreigners would be unwse enough to invest their capital in such stock. Mir. Preston thought that without foreign capital the coun- try would not have been what it is. Mr. Clay thought the amendment was nothing more than sacrifice to demagoguism and prejudice. In despite of this op- position of the leaders, passed vote of B to l6
 A farther amendment was proposed, as to allow all stockholders the privilege at all times, of nvesti- gatng the proceedings of the bank. This was re- jected by vote of P to26.
 It was expected that the whole of the discussion this subject would be finished by the 3d inst. So far, nothing has been said on the constitutionaty of the measure, although Mir. Clay had given notice that he had some opinions that part of the subject to pre- sent. Whether these opinions are to reconcile his inconsistencies on the matter is otyet known but we venture to assert that in all the history of dema goguism there is nothing striking as the complete change that gentleman has undergone this ques- tion. In 1911, his strongest argument against the bank was to show the utter folly of adopting prece- dent as decisive on such subjects. He coniended that such rule of construing the constitution was subversve of its whole spirit Yet in this very bank report before the senate he argues that the ques- ton IS settled beyond dispute by the decisions of the supreme court and the state legislatures. So plain are the fallaces and Inconsistencies which this self constituted leader of distracted whiggery has been guilty of!
 In the House, the consideration of the distribution bill Sc. was resumed. Several speeches were de- liyered on both sides but Messrs Merriweather and Alvord, whigs from Georgia, occupied the principal attention of the House, and contended strongly against it's passage As for himself, the latter gen. tleman stated, the whgs
 "Might have him read out of the party, but he too could read them out. He opposed to the bill on many grounds. The Government was in debt, and the proceeds of the public lands were wanted to pay it, and they ought to be appropriated instead of n- creasing the national debt by borrowing twelve mil lions Of dollars. lie was certain that Gen Harrison would not have been in favor of this bill."
 Mir. A. further said that he was opposed to the report of Mir. Ewing. He (Mr. Ewing) could make provision for the expenditure oftwenty millions, when there was not dollar to pay with. In con- cluson, he would gentlemen that the bill before the Committee was fraught with great dangers, and he now cautioned them to beware, as there was an active party who would take advantage of their er- TOTS.

Mobile Bremen No. 3.-This beautifully equipped and jova hearty band met His Honor Recorder Bald win and the officers of the Second Municipality, at noon, yesterday in the Municipal Council Chamber. Mr. Baldwin addressed the companies, but the cheers of the audience and the low tone in which he spoke, prevented us from hearing more than the concluding words of his speech which that he should be hap py drink glass of wine to the health and prosper iy of every member of the Mobile Fire Association This was replied by Mr. Caldwell in behalf of the Mobile Bremen, in as much he had been a tempo rary resident there. He desired say that the Mo- bile Firemen, in acknowledgement of the compliment of the 2d Municipality, would drink three glasses to every one of the Recorders to his health and every member of the Fire Association and of every citizen of New Orleans, where they had been so handsomely received and entertained. After the cheering had subsided, Mr. Bedford who loudly called for, then came forward, and thanking the Mobile Company for their good wishes he begged to assure them that they were greeted by their brethren here with the right hand of fellowship In the same manner they ex- tended their aid the humblest feowcItizen, as we'll as the most exalted, of the 2d Municipality, so they extend that aid without distinction to the other Mun cipatles, Yea further, and where their engines and their hose could advance, thiher heart and soul, they happy to their Mobile friends, and sorry that their stay were necessarily contract ed here he begged to them that whenever they came hither they would always receive the greetings of the citizens of New Orleans.

CRoPs.-The papers say, that the crops the western part of New York are suffering dreadfully from drought. That part is usually considered the granary of the State.
 ''We are informed (says the Rochester Democrat) by gentlemen direct from Michigan and the northern part of Ohio, that the harvest prospect in those States is no more fatterins than in western New York. The season there has been remarkably dry. On the prairie lands in Michigan, vegetation appears to have been visited by fire. On the tim bered lands, however, wheat looks as well as could have been expected for the season."
 The Buffalo paper corroborates these accounts by the appearance of vegetation m that vicinity. In Massachusetts, says the Courier, every thing indicates prosperous season. In the high lands vegetation has suffered, but in the meadows and val leys it was never more Aourishing.
 A drought has prevailed generally throughout the States. The frequent showers, however, in the South, resuscitating vegetation from its eaects

At the close of business Saturday, occurred of those dsgraceful transactions which bring dis grace upon Wall street, and it's connection, and through that upon the city, It appears that bro- ker, named George H. Heay, bought of Nevins & Townsend, Leroy & Perry, and Parker g White head, about seventy five shares of Delaware and Hudson stock, amounting to over $9OOO. These he paid for with his checks on the Lafayette Bank, where his account had been closed by the bank the day previous. The stocks he delivered to the parties fer whom he bought received their checks, and en- trusted them to James B. Taylor to deposte. That individual, instead of so doing, drew the money, and appropriated it to his own use. When the discovery was made, the parties were pursued and overtaken. Taylor then alleged that Healy owed him upwards of $4O00, and Mr. Suydam Ss1 500, which he would take out and pay over the balance. The parties in- terested, very weakly gave him time to settle. This morning, we understand, some offers at compromise have been made, and also that the relatives of Healy have made complaint before the grand jury. Taylor is not broker, he is kind of street hanger N. Y. Herald.
