Correspondents Of The Tribune.
WASHINGTON thursday, April 10.
The Senate today was engaged generally on
The California claims Messrs. BADGER hUsK,
BEsros and others spoke upon IT, The morning
bour was mostly spent on the New York Pilots
bill upon which Mr.. DIX made speech. The
Senate adjourned without going into Executive
session, and consequently have done nothing about
Mr. Nugent. who still remains in custody OF me
Sergeant at Arms. Mr.. BEssErT arrived here To-
night He may make some extra exertion to get
his correspondent out Of the hands.of the Phil
istnes.
In the House to-day. Mr. Horace MASS aP-
pearsd. was qualified aud took his seat as success
sor Of ions QUIscY ADAMS. His outward sp
pesrance certainly progresses one in his favor
Hsis very fine looking man. Though not old
hi. hair ia almost a. white rs snow. Mr.. BELcHER
of Me- who has been long absent, was glad 70 see
also in his seat | trust every member who IS now
absent will soon return Parties are 50 nearly bal
anced that Wa want every one pres nj.
The case of Messrs MONROE and JAcKsos. for
the contested seat from New York City was up to-
day aud occupied the whole time IN the House.
That there was cheating at that election nobody
denies. | have strong faith in the people, and
.bould like L have that matter referred to them
again for fnsl adjudication. | presume the case
will not be decided till some time next week. Mr..
MosRoE will probably appear In his own behalf on
Tuesday next The Loco FOcos tried 20 get a call
of the House to day, hoping that their party would
proye ia the majority, and that they could carry Il
their own wsy. The movement however, was de-
feated and tie House adjourned.
Ire reception Of Mr.. CLArs Afdress to the
Public" here to day made some excitement. Sew
eral TAYLOR men talked very wildly. To hear
the talk yor would think that Mr. CLAY had never
been nas a Wing, and ttat he insisted on
running for President while refusing to be the ex-
ponent Of oar principles am told that letter Is
soon to be published from Gen. TAYLOR which his
friends mere say will satisfy every body. We
shall see.
The French sympathy meeting here tonight
was the most lsughable failure ever witnessed
Thirty guns were fired at noon and the tri-coor run
m the liberty pole with the stars and stripes. AT
) O'Clock the mass meeting was held opposite the
Ution otfi,e You could have slowed them all IN
the adjoining engine house. At no time did the
meeting amount 20 more than 800 or 400 OF whom
about 100 we're boys Many OF those present were
Whig Members of Congress and Others OF that
party who came through real sympathy 70 the good
cause thus pro.tituted 10 party. Mr. HANNIGAs
and SIR ALLEN, though announced, DID not come.
Mr. Cas- was present, but not on the stand ditto
Mr. MARCY. JONI p. HALE was among the crowd.
The meeting was all packed, cut and dried by
oiIicebolders, one Of whom was IN the Char sur
rounded by others Poor speeches were made by
several persons in whose selection the meeting
had no voice Mr.. FooTE Of Miss read one or two
quotations from BYRON, and Mr.. TBOMPsos OF IA
read his remarks from manuscript, after adjusting
l.. .ld ING
yss grieved to see green banner on the
stage with harp on II. This was the representa-
tive of Ireland. Ii was surrounded by men VINO
saw Irelands sons starve TO death, last w inter,
vet refus ed TO send them assistance. Some oil the
very men who were now prostitutlng this nag TO
the service of party, were the most active agents
in preventing Congress sending Ireland relief. This
flag too reminded me of the fact that not one office OF
distinction is now hlledh here by an lrishman Those
who hold mere offices of dr1dgery are being turned
out 10 make room for Others. This nag here told
me that the Irish votes were all the party wanted
By such tricks Of demagogues these office holders
got their places They had neither Offices for Irish
men here, nor bread Tor ire starving lfsh on thelr
own doomed land
The procession, after the speaking, started when
starting IL consisted Of some nifty or hundred
bows with torches and two or three othce holders
on horseback. When it got about halt through the
route the torch light procession consisted OF two
ire engine ilsntG sOIut io VI ~ PtisphS
ing the band OF music. IL was said that two or
three anxious mothers who had missed their sons
from home went out with lantern TO look for the
torch-lisht processioni Doubtful whether they
would succeed
One of the neatest bulls ever made by anybody
was made on this occasion by Mr.. Foots 10 one OF
bis high flown phrases Of syllsbubed nonsense he
talked of establishing destruction
But nc another hand will probably give you a
more Graphic account, pssse here. remarkIng
that the Loco Focos have done great injury to the
cause of France here by making II subservient to
their party schemes. They have proved themselves
utterly reckless of the welfare of the glorious
cause Of France for the lowest of party purposes
They have proved themselves capable OF murder
ing any cause, however good for the sake of
mere paltry party interest As party, they made
nothing by it, TIE hotel keepers and citizens did
not illuminate. The whole thing proved an utter
failure How could it be Otherwise under s1chclr-
cumstsnces
The HUTcRISsoSs had good house tonight
They sang considerable anti slavery without any
Kissing Their new piece, called The French
Revolution" was well received. Ii was kind OF
medley; sometimes 70 the air OF the Msrseilles
HYMN" again 70 Yankee Doodle aud then u
" God Save the King" IL was received with great
applause. They give their last concert here on
Saturday evening. hlcHELiEu'
