new prices of fifty per cent. less than those fixed

lowed
Mr.. PEARcE's resolution, directing inquiry by
the Finance Committee into the expediency of re-
quiring by law that all duties on goods and mer.
chandise imported into California, collected by
American officers in command there, be paid into
the Treasury. Adopted.
Mr.. UYDERwoOD of Ky. moved to take up the

poned to and made the special order for Friday

eDgrossed.

and was ordered 70 be eDgrOssed
The Senate then took up the bill to cede the
public lands to States in which they are situated
under certain conditions
Mr.. FELcH resumed his speech in opposition to
the bill. He commended that any change ia the
present system of disposing of the public lands
would be attended with great cost, confusion and
loss to the Government and that the free gift of
this land would be unjust to those who have in.
vested their all in land, for the reason that the
value OF such investment would thereby become
considerably reduced if not destroyed. He in
vestigated the doctrine that the right to live i'm
plies an equal right to have place T. live in aod
pronounced it wholly untenable
Mr.. WALLER commenced a speech 10 defense
oil the general principles of the bill. Such CON
servatism as Mr.. Felch's had DELAYED the aboli
ton OF imprisonment for debt, and gave the cred.
itOr power to take the bed from the feeble mother
and the cradle from the infant babe He conteuded
that man had natural right to food, clothing and
shelter and that the Government should secure
these to all. Compared with these rights. wealth.
trade, commerce and manufactures were bot sac.
ondary considerations. He proceeded at lengtb
to show that Congress had done much for every
branch OF industry save agriculture aud the me-
chanlc arts. Without concluding Mr.. w. Welded
the floor to Mr.. NORRIS on whose motion The
Senate adjourned.

Summary OF the Latest Intelligence.

Our readers will find under our telegraphic head,
q very interesting despatch from Albany, which
gives an insight into proceedings that occurred az
the state Capitol, after the adjournment. Ii ap-
pears that terrible rush made for the spols
the moment after the adjournment; and that those
who benefited by the legisla ton of the extra ses
zion, we're extremely eager to clutch the money
voted away by the majority. We venture TO say
that more corrupt session never was held in AL
bany, than that which has been just brought to a
close. The Seward dynasty seemed, from the out
set, determln to make as much - possible for
sheir purity their friends whilst they retained
power, and acted if they were as hungry as bears
IN the spring, after long winter They will be
called upon hereafter for account of their stew
ardship; and if the people do not have proof posi-
tive, and in abundance, that the Seward abolition
~big party of this State incapable of dire,tfng
the government of this State, for the benefit Of the
whole people, by the time Of the next election we
Will be much mistaken.
AT the caucus wh ch was held by the abolition
wbigs after the adjournment, resolutions endorsing
the compromise measures Of the last Congress were
introduced, but Indignantly rejected Nothing
less could be expected from such an unprin-
siplcd faction.
There is no doubt Of the conviction of General
TaleOtt, at Washington. We publish, under our
telegraphic head, the sentence-the Presidents ap-
froval of it--and the censure passed on Colonel
Huger. This has been a most extraor binary pro-
ceeding, from the commencement.
We have received nothing further concerning
Mr.. Webster's resignation. If he has not resigned
We think it very probable he will d. go at an early
day, in order to otfy himself for the Presidential
election.
Jenny Lind, we learn, was very much frightened
during her last concert in Albany, and tainted on
the stage, under the apprehension that there would
be riot. Nothing Of the kind, however, occurred,
and she has gone to Utica, to give concerts in
that city.

Mr, Webster ON the Union.

Under the corner stone of the addition
to the Capitol Mr. Webster on July 4 de-
posted a paper in his own handwriting con-
tanning the following excellent sentence:
IF therefore IT shall be hereafter the Will of God
that this structure shall fall from It's base that ITS
foundations be upurned and the deposit beneath TINS
stone brought to. the eyes OF men. be II then
known. that on this day the Union OF the United
States OF America stands hrm-that their Constltu
ton still exists unlmpalred. and with all It's original
usefulness and glory, growing every day stronger
and stronger in the affections of the great BODY OF
the American people and attracting more and more
the admiration of the world
If then, the Union this day stands firm, 1t
is not to be admitted for an instant that 1t
has had any hard jar or been in serious dan
ger any sort for the past five years at least.
This being the case the Union Committee
of Safety and the entire Union party have
been engaged in doing business under false
pretenses and deserve to be exposed and
held up to public apprehension. The thanks
of the country are due to Mr.. Webster for
doing it so handsomely and unsparlngly.
