that THIS test WAS Got up BY the OPP. $

Incredible Punishment.

"a great book is great evil says an
ancient writer; an axiom which an unfor-
tunate Russian author felt to his cost.
Whilst | was at Moscow" saws a
traveller, ga quarto volume was published
in favor of the liberties of the people; a
singular subject, when We consider the
place where the book was printed. In
this work, the iniquitous venalitv of the
public functiouaries. and even the con.
duct of the sovereign, was scrutinized and
censarcd with great freedom. Such a
book, and IN such a country naturally at
tracted general notice; and the offender
was taken into custody. After being tri-
ed in summary way, his production was
termed libel. and he was condemned to
eat his Own words. The singularity OF
such a sentence induced me to see il pu,
into execution. A scafold was erected
in one of the most public streets in the
city; the imperial provost. the magistrates,
ply icians, and the Car attended; the
book was SEPARATED from the binding, the
margin cut off, and every leaf rolled up
like a lottery ticket when taken out ofthe
wheel. The author was then served with
them, leaf by leaf BY the provost, who put
them into his mouth, to the no small d.
version oftlie spectators, and he was obi.

ed from Mr.. G. Z. Matthew, the British
Consul at Charleston, asking the repeal
of the law of the South Corolina ito pre-

the repeal was asked because the law SUBJ
jects British colored seamen coming to
that State in British vessels to imprison-

reported against repeating the law.
The committee state in their report that
the law does not conflict with the treaty.

to this effect TO the British government,
through its consul to assure it that this law
is maintained because it is deemed impor-
tantto the internal peace and security ofthe

do not hesitate to believe that this will be
the position Of our government and Of an

There being no probability Of the Com
mittee coming to decision, the'House re-
sumed; when Mr.. Stevens. Of New York,
was sworn in.
On motion of Mr.. Houston, the resolu-
ton apportioning different parts ofthe Mes
sage to Committees was ordered to be prin-
ted.
Communications were received from
the Secretary of State. accompanying the
Reports ofthe War Department, and 9TH
err public documents.
A short and interesting debate took place,
with reference to the report ofthe Secreta-
ry Of War; and motions were made to re-
fer to the Committee on Military affairs, and,
by Mr.. Marshall, ofKv., to Special Com
mitiee.
Mr.. Burt, of South Carolina, contended
that it was unusual to refer reports to a
Special Committee. unless for some spe-
cial reason that was stated. He reviewed
the course pursued by Congress during the
last session and declared that he had en-
deavor' d to introduce a system ofretrench.
meut and would have been successful had
he been properly supported during the
long session Of Congress.
Mr.. Marshall supported the motion for a
Special Committee, on the ground that the
Committee on Military Affairs had not re-
commended measures of reform, if they
deemed them necessary.
Mr. Clingman, of North Carolina. Mr..
Carter, OF Ohio. and one or two others.
took part in this desultory debate; and G.
vcntually the report was referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs, Mr.. Mar
shall having withdrawn his motion for &
special Committee.
Mr. Houston, of Alabama, having found
fault with the absence of the estimates
and given notice that on Mon lay he
should move resolution on the subject
Mr.. Brooks, Of New York. explained tina
the fault lay with the public printers, witt
whom they had been deposited; the act o
Congress requiring that they shall be sub
mitted in printed form.
The House then adjourned till Monday
next.
