New Yorh, Monday. March L, Isa7.
The END of the Session-The Impor tant
D.batss-The Herald Reports.

The last session Of the twenty-ninth Congress
is drawing TO a close Laus Dec. There remain
only four days, and during those four days there
will be, as usually is the at the close of each
session, great deal OF business transacted in
hurried and imperfect manner
This session will be characterised as the most
disgraceful in the history of the country. Mem
bers wasted their time, which, in the present case
is so precious, in squabbling and debating upon
sectional and silly matters, whilst the interests of
the country we're allowed to suffer. Money and
men should have been placed at the command of
the administration Immediately and then Con-
gress could have legislated on Secretary Buchan-
ans able consular system, the pilot law OF 1887,
and other subjects of great importance 10 the
welfare of the country
Ofcourse, the attention of the people will be
largely directed TO the proceedings of the few
days that remain of the session Our arrange
ments are perfect TO give daguerreoiype pic
ture Of them from day to day, and to detail
particularly the Incidents speeches, SC, to the
last hour OF the last day.
We do not suppose that any action will be
taken on the consular bill this session. We ex-
pect that it and other things of importance must
lie over ill the thr'ieth Congress shall meet in
December next.

SINGULAR CAUSE OF DUEL BETWEEN A PRo-
FEssoR AND NoBLEMAN A letter received from
Wilma, in Russia, stated that professor had been
commissioned to go to Munich to purchase
telescope, which he paid $4,000 for, but request
ed Mr.. Fraunhoffer, the maker, to give him re-
cept for SO 600, which he did. Sometime after
the professor returned to Vilne nobleman pro-
ceeded to Munich, and purchased one of the same
dimensions as the professors, for which he paid
$4,000. The Astronomical Society finding them
selves swinded out OF $4,000, told the PROBES
that the nobleman was informed by Mr.
Fraunhofer that he only paid sc, 900. The result
was duel between the professor and the noble
man, in which the former was severely wounded
besides being compelled to refund the S3 900
and be imprisoned for three years, by order Of

Y going forward for the relief Of the starving and
destitute, all knowledge of which is kept from the
public on this side of the Atlantic, as the following
from the Belfast Qreland) Chronicle of the 23d of
January shows =
The Rev Doctor Edgar has received Ea3s l9s 9d from
Messrs. Thomas Suffern, James NrBride, Edward H. Gil
an William Shaw, and John Nicholson, subscribed by
low friends in New York in consequence Of their peru
sal of his pamphlet, entitled Famine in Connaught"
This sum has been lodged in the Bauk of Ireland TO be
appropriated directed to the relief Of the poor in Con-
naught The amount would have been much larger had
not public meeting been convened for the object
and ieemed nexpedent to proceed farther in rails
ing private subscriptions.
Several of the gentlemen named ia this extract
have also each subscribed five hundred dollars to
the general relief fund in this city.
We frequently hear of poor persons, poor in
purse hut rich in heart, giving five and ten dollars
TO be sent to the cabins in Ireland or to the High
lands in Scotland, mention of which is hardly
seen; indeed the donors desire their names to be
Ike ,t from the sight of the public. There are
thousands of this class of sympathisers for the
famished, and their contributions swe-the ag-
gregate to u very large sum.
Although the list we have given shows a sub
scription thus far of Sl67, 1884, yet we sincerely
believe that, without the aid of Congress or any
State legislation, the amount that will be sent from
this country to Ireland and Scotland before the
next harvest will, in food and funds reach over
halfa million of dollars-a free-will offering from
the American heart to the suffering and starving
CT Europe. Congress may increase this sum to
over million
