General Cass's Extra Pay-F2are-np among
Members from South Carolina.
The wings have seized upon an item, with
which alone, they say, they can defeat General
Cass 1t is insisted that, while he was Governor Of
Michigan, he received from the United States
quadruple pay, four times more than he was
entitled to, in the way of extras; and they go so
far say that, during forty years political life,
he received twenty-one dollars for every day,
Sundays included. On the strength of this asser-
ton, Andrew Stewart, in the House, to-day, asked
leave to introduce resolution Gas will be seen
from your correspondents despatch), calling upon
the President to certify as to the fact 1t was the
occasion OF pleasant little excitement, and an
amendment to call likewise for statement of all
the moneys received by General Taylor. This
subject will come up on Monday, according to the
notification of Mr.. Stewart.
Mr. Holiness of South Carolina, walked into
our friend Mr.. Polk, and hit Mr.. Walker, for not
urging the erection of new custom-housc at
Charleston. He came out for General Taylor,
squirting the occupant of the much coveted White
House. Mr.. Sims, of the same State. replied to
him sharply; and Mr.. Woodward, his colleague,
said few words in conclusion. The time on the
General Appropriation Bill was altogether occu-
pied by these gentlemen from the Palmetto.

The case of Major Tochman, for challenging J..
II. Bradley, ESQ.,, was called up at one o'clock,
to-day.
General Eaton, for the defence, suggested to the
court that as there was an application to change
the venue before Congress, which there was every
probability would be passed, it would not be proper
to postpone the case until the action Of Congress
should be known.
The District Attorney opposed the suggestion.
If Congress had power to take a case out of court
after it had been commenced, it had also power Of
course to relieve the party after trial.
The Hon. Reverdy Johnson stated that but for
one consideration he wasperectly prepared to pro-
coed with the case. His reason for wishing 1t to
be postponed, were simply these. A bill was now
before the Senate involving question Of great
heard before the vote was taken: He referred to
the Oregon bill, which involved the question Of
slavery, one of the most important questions
which has ever agitated the public mind. Hs did
not ask the delay because Of the finding Of the
venue Of the BILL for with that he had nothing todo,
but as il was probable the term of the court would
continue for some wceks,he begged the indulgence.
He dld not appear there ~ the ordinary ordinary
but to discharge what he believed was due to that
gentleman as a member of the bar, and as a citi-
zen, and he was not to receive, nor could ne ac-
cept any pecuniary compensation tor his services.
He submitted it to the court to afford him an OPP
portunity to vote and to speak upon the very
alarming question which he was DESTROYS of see
ing speedily settled.
The court, in answer to General Eaton's obser-
walton, said, that anything before the Senate
could not affect the proceedings of the court until
the measures, whatever they migltbe, were passed.
AS to the other matter referred to by Mr.. johnson,
the court felt disposed to afford every indulgence,
as it believed the matter alluded to, to be of grave
Importance indeed, a more important subject had
never been before the United States.
After some further conversation, the court agreed
to further postpone the trial until Thursday, the 9Th
of July next. Upon the three indictments against
Major Tochman, pleas of not guilty were severally
entered

TaE MEXICAN pRrEsrs AND AI.MoNrE.-In con-
versation with Senior Carena. says the New Orleans
Delta, we learn that Amonte was elected Senator
from Morea, but not being present ut the time APP
pointed for the verifcaton or his credentials,
new election was ordered and his seat filled by
some other person. The lose of the popularity of
priests have for hm which
has been carried to the extent that his birth Che
was the son of the revolutionary priest Morelos)
has been proclaimed as curse Of God, and he
the offspring of the devil, begotten in violation Of
divine law. Almonte is true republican. His
only sin has been his intimate relations with Santa
Anna, which, however, have grown out OF strong
personal favors conferred by the latter, and have
not prevented his frequent opposition to the views
and measures of the great Mexican chief A long
residence in this country has made Almonte
great enthusiast and dcvotee to the federal repub
lican system, the religious federation and other
peculiarities of our constitution. His vigorous
support of these reforms in Mexico has attracted
to him the hostility and prejudice of the church
and the army, the two great curses.the vultures
that prey upon the heart and vltals Of Mexico His
identification with the principles of the North
American republic, deprived him Of all power and
influence, and consigned him to silence and mac
tivity during this war. He comes now to the
United States to refresh his mind and reanimate
his courage and hopes to once more contemplate
the harmony, the beauty, the glorious energy OF
our republican system. E

Asreeabiy to notice, the imposing ceremony Of
consecrating Christ Church, in Anthony street,
came off yesterday morning This church, 1t will
be recollected was burned last fall, and has been
rebuilt, IN very superior and beautiful style. The
architecture is Of the Gothic order, and the walls,
painted in imitation Of brown free-stone, present
very beautiful appearance, the west wall bearing
memorial to DIR. Thomas Lyel, for many years
March last The organ is Of superior make and
me tone, encased In beautiful mahogany frame,
alter the architecture of the church.
Ateleven O'Clock Bishop Delaney entered, fol-
lowed by twenty white and one black clergymen,
all OF whom approached the altar and knelt, after
which the Conservatory request was read by the
nev. Mr.: Eigenbrodt, rector OF All Saints
Cnurcn. The conservatory sentence of the Bishop

carlng the church consecrated to the worship Of

The conservatory prayer was read by the Rev.
Dr. Shorter, after which, the usual morning ser
vice OF the church was performed.
The sermon was delivered by the Rev. DIR. Vim
OF Amos, from the llth to the l4th verse, inclu-
sive. Behold, the day is come, said the Lord
God, that the church shall be visited with fla
mine not of Bread nor thirst for water but of the
Gospel" &c, &c.
He dwelt upon the condition of the Christian
church and ministry, and the famine which had
visited that particular church 1t had been burned
down with fire, and (referring to DIR. LyelD who
had nlnistered to them long in holy things, whose
voice OF encouragement had so often cheered them,

After the sermon, the sacrament of the Lords
Supper was administered by Bishop Delaney, first
to the clergy and then to the COMMITMENTS OF the
The whole service was very imposing, though

Laying or tho Corner Stone or q New m. Il.
Church.
The corner stone of new Methodist Episcopal
church, to be erected in Thirheth street, between
Eighth and Ninth avenues, was land yesterday af-
ternoon, with all the appropriate ceremonies, by
the Rev. Bishop James,
The Rev. DR.. Pltman delivered the address, in
which he adverted to the neighborhood in which
the church was about to be erected, as being, only
five years since, vacant land, and five years more
would doubtless make it a thickly populated one,
and the church now about to be erected would be
place where they could come to worship; The
always first to rlant the. standard of the gospel,
where population could be found. Even in the
far west, and on the frontiers, the missionaries of
the church had gone forth and sowed the precious
seeds OF life, and wherever on the continent, civil
llzatlon had gone, the gospel had gone with 1t.
He did not suppose he was dealing in imagination,
when he said that IN a few years the now almost
dcsolate street upon which the new superstructure
would stand, would be crowded with persons GO
ing up to worship In that new tabernacle. The
church had grown out of small Sabbath school,
located In Tenth avenue, where spiritual work
had begun, and spread until there were now about
a hundred and sixty members, who had laid hold
of the matter; and the laying Of that corner stone
was the first Of their abors. 1t would be necessa-
ry, he said, to raise subscription, to aid those
who had began SO laudable an enterprise;
The subscriptions were then started, and in
about an hour, the Secretary announced that up
wards of 81, 100 had been subscribed. The corner
stone, containing copy Of the Bible, the Metho-
dist Episcopal Discipline, Hymn book, Christian
catt was then land by Bishop James eng sne oene-
dlction was pronounced by tho rev. :. Splcer.
=, The company Their repaired to the corner OF
refreshments were in waiting for them; after para-
