TelegrRphiD Intelligence,

Notwithstanding that the wires are still down
between this city and Philadelphia, we are en-
abled to give our readers this morning, the pro-
ceedings in Congress yesterday up to a late hour
in the afternoon. The report was sent from Wash
ington t. Philadelphia by telegraph, and des-
patched to this city by the night mail. Mr. Foote,
OF Mississippi, was speaking on the Ten Regi-
meut Bill, and IN favor of the war when the
despatch closed.
Later intelligence from the Brazos, was also
received by an arrival al New Orleans
From Albany, we have the Legislative pro-
ceedlngs, and the meeting OF the State Agricul-
tural Society, held yesterday afternoon in the
Capitol; the report of which proves the society
to be in n highly prosperous condition. Before
adjournment, that body decided upon holding
their Annual Fair al Buffalo. A list of nomina-
tions of Notaries Public sent into the Sen
ate for confirmation. Or. Seth Geer has been
appointed Resident Physician of this city
The business transacted yesterday, both In
Congress and our State Legislature, taken as 4
whole, was, however, of but very little impor-
tancr, and will prove of trlfing benefit TO thu
sovereign people at large.
Our teegraphic markets reports will be found
interesting in commercial point Of view az

Office.

We are authorized by Mr.. Bennett, the editor
and proprietor of this journal, TO state that he
has commenced prosecutions, both civil and cr-
mnal, by private suit at law, and by indictment
before the GRAD Jury, against two persons, called
WILLIAMSON and BURNS, who have published, in
a Sunday paper, in this city, series Of most
gross, brutal, false, and scandalous libels against
his wife and family, during the last few months,
since their return from Europe.
In birth, education, high moral and ntellec-
tua qualities, Mrs Bennett is lady equal to
any in this any other city, and has no
other feeling than that of supreme contempt for
such cowardy and brutal slanderers, their aiders
or abettors. Mr. Bennett has borne such at
tacks for nearly fifteen years past, with equal
contempt and Indifference, but both Mr.. B. and
Mrs. B have duty TO perform to their position,
to their family, and to society at large, in bring
ing TO condign justice and punishment those
slanderers, who have not the slightest excuse or
apology for their malice.
For several years past, certain small portion
of persons connected with the New York
press, have made it their business to defame, in
the most brutal and cowardly manner, Mrs
Bennett and her family One of those persons
was convicted, but escaped with a nominal
punishment, through the mistaken clemency of
two weak Judges, one of whom is now weaker
member of Congress, and the other Custom
House officer. Another lies at this moment
under several prosecutions, some of which are
nearly closed over his guilty head.
Mr.. Benefits extraordinary success in estab-
fishing journal, the greatest on this CONT
nent, may excite the envy of rivals-but no
envy-no rivalry, should excuse the preparation
for years of these most brutal, false and scanda
lous lbels, and he means 10 punish these scoun-
drels TO the fullest extent of the laws.

The Financial Aspect OF EngIand-Xvhat IL
Its Exact Condition!

The financial and commercial news brought
by the Cambria, from England and France, il
extremely interesting. Great anxiety existed in
this city 10 ascertain the general facts on this
question, and greater anxiety still exists to I'M
derstand, or measure, what this news exactly
means.
The bullion in the Bank Of England has reached
nearly twelve millions sterling, and is still in
creasing, by flow from every part of the COM
mrrcal world into London. The bullion of the
other banking institutions of Great Britain is
more than two millions, being much larger in
amount than it has been for some time past; and
il, too, is still increasing. The aggregate cur
rency ofthe banking institutions is less than it
was last year, by sum of five millions sterling, or
over. The rate OF interest has fallen TO five per
cent on bank loans, and TO proportonate rate
on private and commercial loans. The price Of
cotton is now, within the fraction Of penny as
iow as IL eUer has been at any former period
There are symptoms, too, of some animation in
the manufacturing districts. The price of grain
and breadstuffs is on the rise, somewhat; while
the wants 81 Ireland and other parts of the coun-
try, appear to be as great as they were last years
but they have only two millions left, Of the
twelve millions contributed by Parliament TO aid
in feeding the starving population. Falures
however, are still taking place. some of them be-
ing houses Of some magnitude and others ofless
la short, the panic in England seems 10 be prsdu-
ally subsiding and the same may be said of Paris
aud France generally. The specie in the Bank
of France is as great in amount, as il has been
for the last five years, and the Emperor of Rus
