countryside admission Of California, Of giving
governments to all the other territories of guaran-
tying the restoration Of fugitive slaves He allu-
ded to a rumor that it was the intention Of the
ree-soiers by the action Of their caucus to defeat
the appropriation bills unless California was adj
mitted as an isolated question.
Mr.. Wilmot said he had heard, since he came to
the capital that it was the disposition Of the enc
mics to the separate and early admission Of Cali
forna, to defeat the appropriation bills in certain
contingency. Whether there was any truth in it,
it was not for him to say. But it was the first
time he had heard from any quarter such charge
brought against the friends of freedom The
friends of freedom preferred the disposition of the
California question before going to action on the
appropriation bills-such was their desire as ex-
pressed in the caucus, but nothing more
But he had heard that before California should
be admitted as free State, that there was party
here prepared to defeat the opposition bills, and to
paralyze the action and the power of this Govern
ment. He was satisfied of one thing, that as soon
the opposition bills passed, the enemies to
the separate admission OF California would vote for
the adjustment Immediately.
Mr. Wilmot continued his remarks, in which he
discussed the subject of slavery. He was replied
to, at length, by Mr.. McClernand.
The discussion was continued by Mr.. Olds, when
Mr.. Butler, of Pa obtained the floor, and moved
that the Committee rise to enable the Chairman oil
the Committee of Ways and Means to move a
resolution to close debate.
| The Committee rose, and
Mr.. Bayly moved resolution to close debate in

The STOLEN MONEY OF THE MILTON BANK
About two weeks since man went into Goodwin's
the broker, in State street, with $50 bill on the
dorchester and Milton Bank, and requested Mr.
Goodwin to send it to the bank for him and get it
changed, promising to call for the amount in the
afternoon he left. Afternoon came, but the man
did not. Officer Starkweather was notified of the
circumstance Immediately after the man left the Of
hce IN the morning, and was on the look out which
iact the unknown was probably aware Of. The
Soo note has been laying in Mr.. Goodwin's Office
ever since, and will tot day be sent to the bank
More facts about this matter are daily coming to
hight man named Thomas Key, well known to
the police, was arrested in this city, yesterday, by
constable u. J. Coolidge. He will be taken to
Dedham Tor examination. There is nothing very
strong against him as yet
-Four or hive days ago, Joseph Jewell, who for
merly kept drinking-h house in this city, in Ire
mont Row, suddenly shut up his house in New
York and mlzZled." The NewYork officers pur-
sued and arrested him. On his person was found
the sum OF $4,000 in Dorchester and Milton Bank
bills. The Justice asked him where he got the
6lIis, and he said from John H. Brooks, of the
Grey Eagle Saloon, in Providence Information
was Immediately sent to Providence-Brooks was
arrested, and held to bail in the sum of $50, 900,
ior examination next Saturday. Meanwhile Jewell
is held IN custody. He is supposed to know some
thing about the robbery of the Bank of Westerly,
Rhode Island, which "came off " last April
There can be no doubt that the officers have a
strong clue to the Dorchester and Milton Bank
robbers
If nothing is proved against these men. (and
they may say they won it at play, from parties un.
known to them,) the bank will recover a large por-
ton Of the stolen money. However, we learn from
good authority that the bank is about to wind IN
its affairs, and settle all its Internationally Of
