Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lcry, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been TOO long established to need any
recommendation Ills daguerreotypes are in TIE
highest sense the works art glowing with the soul
of the living countenance. III aa....
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste TO be iuy
equal and in some respects superior to those OF the
best artists Of London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in as superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be
the finest imperial folio paper l6 by % inches, made

partnents OF life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended TO be worthy and enduring

the progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
strious men OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
AS no work OF this kind has appeared in America,

The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Eve. Post, thus closes letter on
the tariff movement in Congress-
But the cloSeness of the successive divi-
sions, on Saturday, clearly show the mind
of the HOUSE to be equilibio upon the
question. Motions to lay apon the table
were lost by one vote another to adopt
Vintous plan. by three, and third, to de-
clare any legislation whatever inexpedent
unnecessary, by two. The general i'm
preston is, that if resolution can be
brought before the House. within a few
days, for moderate increase of duties upon
iron and wooden goods, it will succeed by
mallmajority. Strange as itmay sound
the southern delegations are not now irrec-
oncileably hostile to the proposed modif-
cation.
The inappeasible opposition comes from
the agricultural west and it is designed to
eyade that repungance to all action on the
subject by aiding the western members in
the accomplishment of all the agrarian
schemes for the particular advantage of
their divisions which have been introduced
and discussed this session, and are now
pending. Upon the whole, it is tolerablv
manifest that the cold iron of Pennsylva-
MIA has entered into the soul of the House,
and is now moving onward in the direction
of liberal legislation.

CONGRESS- adjourns next Monday, and we shall
soon know what has been done, (if any thing) for
the interest of the west in the matter of river and
harbor appropriations. Since the passage of the
ten million Texas boundary bill we have had but
little hope that our claims would receive favorable
attention. Congress can neither afford TO be lust
or generous. Ten millions to satisfy boundary
claim, which every intelligent member of Congress
knew to be spurious and unjust, is readily if not
greedily voted at the demand and for the bene6,
of the slave oligarchy; but one million or half a
million for the protection of the great commercial
and agricultural interests of the northwest would
be unconstitutional and extravagant! The great
ness of the people of the north consists in their
tQR2eneSS.

The Riot at Sacramento City.

From accounts in the San Fran cisco Dali
ly Herald, itappears that the day previous
to the sailing ofthe steamer great squatter
riot had taken place at Sacramento City,
originating in an attempt to liberate some
squatter prisoners. 1t is said that the
Mayor was shot through the arm, and that
Capt. Woodland, City assessor, was NOR
tally wounded. The fight was continuing.
Four Or five are reported killed. Large
forces are beginning to muster to quell the
riot. Martial law is proclaimed, and every
citizen commanded to enroll his name at
the City Hotel. The Capt. of the squat
tiers, named Molony, is dead. They threat
en- to burn the city.
The news from the mines is very encour-
aging.
Barton Lee had stopped payment in Sac
ramento city, for one million one hundred
thousand dollars.

Squaters proceeded to the prison ship, to

fined on board. They were confronted by
Mayor Bigalow, and members of the cor

died in fifteen minutes afterwards. J. w.

and several other citizens were killed and
wounded. DIR. Robinson and man nam
ed Mahony, two leaders of the squatters,
were shot dead, as were several others of
the party. The Squatter force soon swell

The keepers of the gaming houses and
sporting men, generally, sided with the cit

McDugal, returned as soon as he heard of
the. ARRAY, and the steamer McKim was
dispatched to Benica, and the senator, to
San Francisco, for arms, and men to use
them.
The above is the substance of the news
as published in the San Francisco papers
but as the steamer was getting under way
at A. NJ, a dispatch was received on
board, from the Pacific News office, stating
that an express had arrived with the intel
ligence that Sacramento City was reduced
to ashes, land that the Squatters were receiv-
ng reinforcements from the mines.

Bellies disappeared very suddenly from that city
and couple of gentlemen were missing about
the same time. The parties few minutes pre-
viously, were together in one of the churches,
from whence they went down towards the pier,
and it is shrewdly surmised they will next be
heard of at Niagara Falls, perhaps looking for
the spot where Mrs. Miller went over. We

LATE INTELLIGENCE.
Late and Important from California.
New York. Sept. 20.

The Philadelphia arrived this afternoon
having left Chagres on the 9th inst. on ne
brings $500, 900 in gold dust and S3oo,ooo
among passengers. She has dates rom
California to the 5th August.
The mails from San Francisco, brought
down by the Caroline, had not arrived
when the Philadelphia left Chagres. There
were few cases of the prevailing disease,
fever, which, however, was confined to the
native population. No reliance can be
placed on the accounts of persons passing,
as they are highly exaggerated.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Gould, who re-
sides in Chagres, that by the middle or the
latter part of October the sickness will have
entirely disappeared.

u The good divine vexed not parting soul bv
saying any thing about the sin and folly of such
request at such moment, nor the unfitness of
the office proposed for one of his cloth. He adj

we find Mr.. Durkee's name in the affirmative,

protective in its nature, which we suppose was
the case, we doubt whether Gov. Doty's vote
will prove very acceptable to his constituents.
