Importance of that yard, compared with
the navy yards at Washington, Charles

NICE TINES At OUR HoUsE.--Ihc Nd
ans turmoil in Congress, has raised the
blood Of members nearly to the fighting
point in the House. One fight between
merr.bers of the House has already grown
out of it. TIE following are tho ARRAYS
and parts Of ARRAYS, which have been
reported:
Mr.. Rayner ofN. C., was heardto ti,reat.
en- Mr. Arnold, of Tennessee, who had CAL
led him to order, "to knock him DOWN.
MIR. Wise, and Mr.. Calhoun fMassachu-
sets, had nm alteration, Of which nothing
was heard, from the noise in the House; and
nothing was seen, but violent gestleu'a-
tons.
Mr.. Dawson of Louisiana, is reported
to have seated himself by Mr.. Arnold of
Tennessee, and showing him a Bowie knife,
threatened to "cut his throat if he attemp-
ted to rise.
Mr.. Wise and Mr.. stanly had some pas
sages in the House, which led toa cores
pondence out Of doors, wherein PERSONAL
ty was disclaimed.
The Mobile Register is anxious to know
if we have not a most orderly and dignified
House Of Representatives; if it has not an
excellent and efficient Speaker; if the as
tendency of Wing principles has not pro-
duced reform in morals and manners. as
well as in public affairs; and if we are not
a great, glorious and enlightened people?
Certainly! Who can doubt it!-Crescent

MEXICAN SCHOONER cAPTURED.--Ihe ca.
reer ofthe two war schooners recently built
at New York for the Mexican government,
has been very brief. One of them was
wrecked, and lost in the Gulf, and we now
learn that the other has been captured by
Commodore Moore, of the Texan navy, IN
der the guns of the castle of San Juan dull
loa. We stated several days ago that this
would be the case. Commodore Moore
was early placed in possession of informa-
ton respecting the movements of the two
vessels Observation-Disclosures.
o. A letter-writsr in China, after des-
cribing the attack and capture of the town
of Annoy, says-'You will hardly believe
that the Chinese stood to their guns to the
last, and only started when the soldiers en-
tered the fort at the outside angle, and the
marines at the other.-One mandarin
