lrrirnI Of the Steamer WashingtOn.

The u. s. mail steamer Washington arrived
Sandy Hook on Friday last, but was detained
inside by the dense fog, until Saturday, when
ne came to anchor in the lower bay. Her pas
enqers and mail were sent up to N. Y. city by
a steamboat despstchcd for that purpose. The
Washington left Southampton on the l9th OF
December, and consequently brings one days
later dates from London but from the abstract
of news, il does not seem that any thing Of much
imnortanee is added to the intelligence brought
by the Caledonia, which sailed from Liverpool
on the 18th.
Tho English funds in the London Money
Market on the 18th, Saturday, declined quar-
ter per cent on the prices Of the day previous,
there being a considerable supply Of stock IN the
market 'fhe Corn Market was firm, with q
good demand at Mondays prices. The Portu.
Suese financial agent in London, who suspended
payment on the 7ih ult., had resumed, paying
all over due bills with interest The total amount
of specie shipped from the United States since
the middle OF October, Is estimated at $4,000
900. The Chancellor Of the Exchequer eontin'
ued III, though slightly better.
From the continent there is nothing Of much
importance. The affairs Of Switzerland were
gradually assuming stale Of quieiness- Ths
elections for the Grand Council Of Lucerne hat
resulted in the choice of IS Liberals The
French Prime Minister is said 10 I've very muci
disturbed by Lord Palmerlon's declaratoDi tina
there was no further occasion for intervention
in the Affairs of Switzerland and il Is even sai'
that Guizot was prepared to act with Austria II
the matter, without regard to England. Tn
liberal journals in Paris complain loudly OF IN
inibcral policy Of the Government toward
them. II is stated by one Of them that "durinl
the last years no less than i2e prosecution
had been directed against the Journals in tn
name of King Louis Philippe, who had inaugu
rated his accession TO the throne by forma
promise that no prosecution should be in futun
Instituted against the pres. During that pcrio'
81 journals were obliged to suspend their publ
cations in consequence OF the severity OF tn
penalties. The writers were sentenced to 3l4
years and months imprisonment, and the jour
mails to 7,1i0,5 00f fine"
An infant school, lately founded by the Duk
Sforza Cesarini at Genzano, near Rome, is th
first that has ever been established in or nea
Rome. rs the late Pope strictly forbade the foI
nation of infant schools The rcigning Pop
has, however, sanctioned the infant school
founded by the Duke, who has long sought I
introduce them on his estates.

FRIDAY, Jan. IA.
The SENATE was not in session to-day, hav-
ing adjourned over until Monday.
The HOUSE was engaged chiefly upon pri-
vate hills nf little imnnriance- and resolutions
reported by committees, which were read twice
and referred to the Committee of the Whole
Mr. Robert Smith of Illinois, from the Com
mittee on Roads and Canals, reported bill for
the continuation of the Cumberland Road
The House resolved itself into Committee OF
the Whole-Mr Howell Cobb of Georgia, chair
mainland took up the private calendar.
The bill providing for pensions for widows OF
revolutionary soldiers married after the war, re-
ported from the Committee on Private Land
Claims, and one for the relief of the step-moth-
er of Major Brown, who was killed opposite to
Matamoros, was discussed for several hours
Many members opposed the latter because they
thought that no preference should he given TO
the families of officers over those of privates.-
If the bill embraced all similar cases. they would
be willing to support it.
Without taking the question, the committee
rose, and the House, without doing any further
business, adjourned over till Monday.

MORE INDIAN oUTRA0Es.

MORE INDIAN OUTRAGEs.
The Mormon Colony ae he city of tke Eolf
Lake Attacked, and Mem, Wome~ and
Ckildrea Bssckcred!
BY the arrival, yesterday, Of several
boats from Missouri River, We arc placed
in possession oflate St. Joseph papers, 10
which We find some exciting news from the
Mormon settlement at Salt Lake. Tie St.
Joseph Gazette, Of Tuesday last, states that
. Mr.. Schrader passed through that town
tho day previous. on bis way from Fort
KeaPney, with information TO the effect
that IN express had just reached there
bringing the startling intelligence that the
Indiaus in that vicinity had murdered
number Of meu, women and children in the
city Of Salt Lake. No cause whatever
was assigned for the outbreak. The ex-
press bad been sent in for the purpose Of
procuring assistance, % il was feared the
Indians would gather in still larger mum
bers, and murder oil the Mormons at the
settlement. From oil accounts, the Indians
seem determined to make battle with the
emigrants on the plaius this year. A mill
tasy force Of several thousand men, il 10
thought, will be requisite to keep the Indians
in check, and protect the emigranss and
wagon trains.
We learn from tho officers Of the Mus
tang, down from Camp Israel, sixty-five
miles above Council Bluffs, that large
body Of Mormons was preparing, and had
fixed upon this day 10 start Tor Salt Lake !;
but the events recorded above will no doubt
deter them from moving st 90 early day.
A report also reached here yesterday that
the first United States wagon train that left
Fort Lsavenworth this spring was attacked
By Indians It Walnut Creek, and some 20
men belonging 10 the train killed. This
report 10 no doubt without the shadow OF
foundation. Louis Nep Era.
