Telcrrsphie Summary.

Congress had d basy 8ay a II yesterday. The
Senate was engaged principally with the con,dcra-
ton of The bill for the appointment Of appraisers al
large, or rather the substitute introduced by Mr..
Hunter, of Virginia, which was passed. Il Kill be
found at length IN our Geographic report Of Con-
gIess, in another column. The California land title
bill next taken up, and ordered TO be printed in
pretty much The same form in which it was intro
auced.
After an Almost interminablc DEBATE, in which
all he feelings of sectional jealousy were pourtray
ed, the House of Representatives, in committee of
The whole, decided upon cutting out of the Branch
Mint bill the words New York, and all apperain-
ing 10 said city. 1t would seem that New York
has already become too rich, 200 powerful, and TOO
influential 10 suit the ideas Of many OF the Represen-
tatlyes Of some of the towns and villages in other
States; and, in order TO keep this already great
and rapidly increasing emporium within proper
bounds, they have determined to still detain from
her that which, by the natural current of com
rnerce, manufactures, fine arts and talents, right
fully belongs to her. Never mind,-the tide OF
wealth still sets this way, and we viii couiinu. to
expand, until Philadelphia, which is one Of our
suburbs, is swallowed up and forgotten. Who'll
have the mint then 7
Notwithstanding the emphatic votes which have
been given in favor Of the school law, we see that
petitions are presented to the Legislature, day
after day, for it, repeal. That question has been
decided over aud over, ard we trust that the law
will remain IN force. Petitions for its repeal
thoul4 be laid the table as fast they are re-
ceiyed-they should be treated in the same manner
as these that are daily presented to Congress for
the repeal # the Fugitive Slave bill. Ii has been
demonstrated most unequiyocally that majority
OF the people are in favor Of the present law, and
the matter should be allowed 10 rest a. 1t is.
We have received full particulars, by telegraph,
OF the destruction Of the steamer John Adams, on
the Miss saiPpi river, and the loss Of one hundred
aud tweny.three lives. This dreadful calamity
was occssioned by that vessel running foul of
snsg in that river. II is most melancholy BUSH
ness, and the loss Of life has been most dreadful.

ASTOUNDING INvENTIoN.--We notice an inven-
ton by Mr. Solomons, of Cincinnati, Of what he
calls perfect substitute for steam From com
mon whiting, sulphuric acid, and water, he OBJ
tains carbon in the gaseous state and, with the
power exerted by this gas, he asserts that he now
drives horse engine, and, for .fortieth the
expense of steam. lifts and lets fall IL 900 pounds
five times in minute This fluid, without any
heat applied at ALL exerts pressure of $40 pounds
to the square inch; while water in the same I'M
heated state has no pressure but that Of gravity.
Water, heated to the boiling point, yields power
of fifteen pounds. This fluid with the same heat,
would yield power of nearly IL OOOl And, what
is more, handful of charcoal and boiler the size
of a teakette will produce, at an expense OF few
cents, the whole Of this tremendous energy Fifty

was closed, and this deponent was sitting in the

only conversation which took place between said
Brooks and this deponent was in relation TO the i'm

ger.
This deponent further states that he never made

similar to that imputed to him in said affidavit, at

Several other afiidavits touching this same point

CRIMINAL CoURT-Ye sterday Mr. Fendall asked
a continuance of the case of Samuel Stettinius,
Charged with forgery in connexon with land
warranty on the ground that an important wit
for the United States had not yet been found.
Mr. Giberson, for the defendant. objected to a con-
tinuance, and remarked that the counsel of The ac-
cused were now, as they had for a long time been,
ready to proceed 10 trial. The Court said that the
subpoena for the witness had been returned en-
dorsed non est inUentus; and he thought there must
be gross negligence on the part Of the United States
officers in Baltimore, where the witness resides, in
not finding him.
The case Of Captain Powell, charged with kill
ing John Marinder, likewise continued, the
whereabouts of important witness for the Uni
ted States not having yet been discovered
1t is understood that these two cases will be tried
during the present term, should the witnesses in
each be in attendance when the court shall again
be in session; namely, next Tuesday.
ANOTHER WARNING.-We learn, from the IsIe-
graph, that the grocery store of Mr.. j. Pearce,
der of Seventh and / streets, was in imminent
danger of being consumed by fire on Tuesday
evening, from the ignition of cask of camphine
oil. While in the act of drawing the liquid from
the cask, it took fire from lamp placed near it,
and spread rapidly over the floor it from the
open spigot. A lot of brooms suspended from the
ceiling took fire, and but for the timely aid of
the neigbbors, who cast the burning materials into
the street and furnished supply of water from the
adjacent pumps, the whole interior of the build
ing would have been instantly enveloped in flames
One of Mr. Pearce's hands was badly burned in his
efforts to extinguish il.
