In the Senate to-day, communication
from tho Treasury Department was re
colyed, enclosing Professor Morse's re-
port on The completion Of his Electro
Magnetic Telegraph from this city lc
Baltimore, The Professor refers TO his
recent experiments Of recording the pro
/ Icgeiings OF tho Democratic Convention
Simultaneo usly as they occurred, IN
proof of the complete success Of the ex.
pertinent. The Acting Secretary Of the
! Treasury expresses the utmost conf.
denco aud satisfaction in the system, and
leaves to Congress such action as may
be thought advisable in regard to extend.
Ing the experiment. The sum appro.
Iprlaed by the act Of March 8, lS43, wa:
| $4,000, which Professor Morse has ap
piled so economically that after compile
ting the work as far as authorized, there
is a sum Of $500 left,
Several memorials and petitions were
received, and numerous reports from stan
ding committees were made. The bill
TO quiet the title of the United States to
Pea Patch Island was at last read third
time and passed--having been amended
by nominating Roger B. fancy as refer
ee, instead of Horace Binney. The SEN
ate then went into executive session, and
after some hours of debate on the Texas
question adjourned.
In the House Of Representatives moth
ing Of general interest occurred during
the forenoon, except speeches from
Messrs. Tbbatts and Thomasson, of Ken
tucky, in favor ofapproprlating S550,oOO
for buying up the private stock in the
Louisville and Portland Canal, in view Of
making is navigation free. This was
in committee of the whole, during the
of the Civil and Diplomat
ic Appropriation Bill; but It was decided
that such an amendment would not be
in order on that bill, so the motion was
nega;ived Mr.. Hanley made the only
politco-P Presidential election speech Of
the day, after which business once more
came into vogue, and all debate, accord
ing; 10 the resolution adopted yes'orday
ceased at 10 o'clock. The rest of the
days sitting was devoted to the various
amendments proposed; on which some
votes by yeas and nays were taken
At half-past O'Clock the House adjourn
od--the Civil and Diplomatic Appropria-
ion Bill continuing, as the unfinished bu-
'iEess, the order Of the day for TO NOR
'ow.
There is rumor that Col. Dick John

Look AT BOTH sIDEs.--Two knights
were travelling in opposite directions,
and met each other at place where a
shiald was suspended osei me road.
They stopped to look at the shield, and
exchange salutations. One Of them re-
marked that the shield was of brass. but
the other said that it was of silver
The former repeated his declaration. and
the latter repeated his. The dspute
waXed hotter, ill from words they oame
10 blows. At this time another cavalier
rode up, asked the cause of dispute, and
was referred to the shield. He looked
at it carefully and sa;d-"Why YOU are
both right and both wrong. The shield
is brass on one side, and silver on the
other. Gentlemen, the next time be-
fore you fight, you must look on both
sideS!"

Fhe brig Petersburg was to sail for New

brought S5,0O0in specie to Schmidt & Co.
The papers all over Mexico, speak in
terms ol great indignation against the
proposed annexation of Texas. One of
the'edltors says that the republic has the
will and the asaans to resist movement
IoI the kind--haS a great army already
disciplined, and the great Santa Anna to

The Diarie of the 18th Nay copies a
long string Of articles against annexa-

the United States which are opposed to it.

important iutelligence.-Picayuae

EDS. PICAyUNE-DEAR SIRs: At the last

Ireighted the steamer Petrita, 10 carry

Verbally we learn that the bearer of
dispatches spoken Of above came ashore
at point down town about o'clock yes
terday, and IN season TO take the mail
boat for Mobile. Ell Censor de Vera Cruz
Of the I'd inst. contains an advertisement
to the effect that the Petrita was to de-
part the next day for port in Tobasc );
bnt it would seem that she was qiterward 5
chartered in haste by the officers OF the
Mexican Government, and that the mes
senger came on with all speed. We
know nothing OF the nature of his des-
patches, but they must be important.
We shall probably be able to give further
news on the arrival Of the Neptune from
Galveston, as prev ious to her departure
the Poinsett had in all probability sarliv-
