Both Houses of Congress had long and la
borious sessions to-day; the Senate in the
consideration of Executive business, and the
House with further action upon the civil
and Diplomatic Bill Upon reconsldera-
ton of this vexed question, the House have
voted to insist upon all the material amend
mcnts. There arc no important exceptions

as they were when the bill was last sent to
the Senate. In conclusion, a committee OF
conference was proposed, and on the part of
the House it will consist of MossrS. Fillmore.
Adams and Cave Johnson of Tenn. The
Senate will also choose Committee of con-
ference, and the two Committees will joint
ly recommend some compromise which it IS
hoped will be accepted by the two Houses
of Congress. 1t is rarely there has been SO
much delay upon bill so important as this,
and very seldom has there been so much
disagreement in regard to the provisions Of
the measure.

$ll7, ABB 60; children in the State between
the ages of four and sixteen S1,23O; so that
the School money is about 81 40 to each per
annum The Governor does not happen to

that the Revolutionary Debt is paid, to re-
ceive back her righteous dues!
The Governor makes one recommendation
that we heartily concur ln-that killing men
by law be abolished. We hope the LegisIa-
t,lre are of like faith. We like also his sug-
gestion that it shall be declared unlawful to
employ children under fourteen in factories
for more than ten hours in any day. This is
carrying the principle of Legislative inter-
ference in private affairs to a great length ;
but we have no objection to this, however it
may comport with the fundamentals of Loco
Focoisn.

 Ar. Ednor-The undersigned has been recently advised by of his friends that the good and oth CT people in Canaan in this county, have attributed to him the authenticity of certain communication, under the signature of "N N" short time since ap- bearing in the Hartford Review, and refiectng upon those, it is said, through whose official agency the recent prosecution against NIT Rockwell for the SUD- posed murder of his brother had been instituted.- Your correspondent, here most emphatically afirms that, in respect to the communication alluded to- he has not the least knowledge by whom It was written, nor had he the slightest agency, either directly or indirectly in inditing publishing it, nor knew any thing ofits existence till he informed of the fact sometime after it's publication. Whatever concep- tons just mind might have of the morality of those who have desgnedly aided in the birth and clrcua- ton of certan rumors unfavorable to the defence, and wholly unwarranted by the evidence disclosed on trial, and of the truth of which on that occasion there was not even a pretence, he would neverthe- less add that, matter of justice to MT. Allen the granduror, your correspondent believes him have been actuaed, in the discharge of his official duty, by principles of strict integrity and furthermore, that the nature of the feeling and excitement there, then entertained and prevalent, required legal in-  vestigation.
 But the integrity. of duty and moral obliga-
 ton of certain other individuals in that section, and elsewhere perhaps, in respect to another matter in measure incidentally connected with that occa- sion, may we'll be questioned. Reference is here made to hose exclusively, chO hGUs gipen origin and currency to rpori inrolUiag csraiE alleged reasons osives by srhch is said, yOGr correspondent induced Co become engaged prefessionaty tn beha c the accused in that prosecution.
