on the corsair's decks and, whilst the main body battled the astonished ruffians, one or two secured the helm, and got the brig be- for the wind-Saucy Sally bearing her faith. full companion, her passenger riflemen pick ing up the banditti with surprising accuracy. Discounted on every hand, the surveyors hurried below, leaving their trophy in the Sally's power. The boats meanwhile, foiled almost in the moment of possession, row ed with all the energy of despair; but the breeze had once more set in strong and steady, and both the Saucy Sally and the VOmito were dropping them fast.
 The maniac yells rent the air-the water flashed under the fury of their strokes, and the boats were urged onward with strength almost Superhumau. At the moment when hope must have been all but dead within them, the Vomty suddenly hove up in the winds eye. Could it be! Had the mer- chanuran tailed and were their comrades victors! :! They paused upon their oars, join ing company, as if 10 ponder the course proper to be pursued.
 Brief was the space permitted for consid- eratiau. A splash, a stunning report and an iron shower sped its fatal flight, scattering with one crash, the dying and the dead, with the skiffs that bore them, in ruined fragments upon the devouring deep. Their own trust ed weapons had been turned upon themselves; and O'Donoghue, by the mouth of their boasted Long Tom, had sped them unanneal- ed to their account.

LATE FROM WAsHNaToN-A correspondent of tn U. s. Gazette, speaks thus of matters and things the Capital :-"I never saw Washington 90 dull
 aeless, and destitute of all animation, it is at th moment. There is very little, scarcely any, socia intercourse - nothing going en to make gossip ou of-the weather is used up, Captain Tyler and hi family are used up, vacant offices are used up, al who have been identified with the administration ar. pretty much used up. the Wings feel as if they hae been used up, and the Locos are using each othel up. Such a state of used upsdness brings on , strong feeling of lstessness dont-caretveness, anc out of which it ii easy task to glean any thing worth committing to paper.''

Correspondence ef the W. Y. Tribune.

WASHINGTON, 1ueSOays Dec. |U'
 A strong desire seemed to be manifested today by Inany-and have noticed it's ex- istence to considerable extent in conversa- ton with Members for some time past - to repeal only the 'poluntary' part of the Bank rupt Law, and to allow it, thus amended, to remain either as permanent law, or, at all events, for few years, until it's effects are fairly tested. It is impossible, however, at present to judge with any certainty as to the fate of the bill. No vote which could be viewed as test was taken to-day-still the prevailing opinion seems to be that the law will be repealed. have not as yet observ- ed any strong indications of different result.
 The main topic of conversation here is the awful tragedy of the brig Somers. It is un. fortunate that such variety of partial and perhaps erroneous statements of the facts have become public, and that the real truth, in all its details, is yet withheld. So far, public opinion here seems to be favorable to Capt. Mackenzie, though there are some who yet remain unconvinced of the existence of a necessity of executing an officer of the age of young Spencer to ensure the safety of the ships company.

BIRTH OF REMARKABLE Tw1Ns.-We have received note this morning from an intel ligent correspondent at Hanover (Morris County,) in this State, giving some account of a very remarkable birth in that vicinity, and the death of the mother 0he wife of Mr. Sylvester Lyon of Hanover Neck,) on the 27th ult. Mrs. L. was A years of age and is spoken of as worthy woman and the mother of several children. We quote from the note of our correspondent
 "She left, week before her own depart al curiosity. They are daughters: each one entirely perfect in its form. except that both are connected together. Not like the Si- mese twins by single umbilical ligament {; but by a much broader attachment. From the centre of the breast to the bottom of the abdomen they are united together into one, l the whole breadth of the body the two faces lying side by side together in close contact i; and the arm of each, crossing the other on either side. as if in very affectionate em- brace.
