Kossuth's Residence in EngIaud.-1

Kossuths Residence in England.-A latc London paper says:
 It was Kossuthfs intention, with about folty of his countrymen. to reside tem> pora,ily in Belgium. and there quietly to watch the progress ofevents in Europe. The sole reason why he would have pre- ferred Belgium to England, was the greater economy practicable in the for mer country. The altered state of af, fairs in France. however, satisfied him that the B-lgian government would not sanction his residence in Belgium at pres ent ; and consequently he has fixed on England as the place of his residence for a season. His course of procedure, we learn from one of his most intimate friends will be- to assume passive attitude for the present. on the assured belief that events are rapidly hurrying onward to great crisis both in Germany and Italy

The committee then proceeded TO reconsider
the bill for the construction of military roads N
Oregon territory.
Mr. FLOYD rose to address the committee on
the general subject Of slavery, and was proceed
ing with his remarks when WI
Mr.. CLINGMAN called him to order upon
the ground that his remarks were irrelevant To
the subject under consideration.
The Chair sustained the point.
Mr.. CARTIER appealed from the decision
Mr.. FLOYD hoped he would be permitted to
enjoy the same privilege as the gentleman who
had preceded him, Mr. GREY
Mr.. POLK expressed the same hope.
Messrs. HoUsToN and RIcHARpsoS argued to
sustain the Chair and declared that unless the
Chair should be sustained, it would be impossl-
BILE to give the territories the benefit OF the week,
which had been set apart for business relating 70
them.

enumerated some sources by which Southern
gentlemen might perhaps think there existed some
favor for slavery at the North but these, he SAID
were but spots in the sun. The thirteen and
half millions Of free white men at the North had
but one thought, voice and prayer on the subject
and that was for the individual liberty of man. u
this was once prejudice, it had now become a
principle.
He then gave his views to the abolition Of
slavery in the District OF Coumba and thought
that as the people of the District had no voice In
Congress, slavery should not be abolished with.
out their consent.
He next reviewed the fugitive slave law, and
declared that it was enacted more for the purpose
of woundng the feelings of the North than for the
purpose of securing the return of runaway slaves
This law scattered broadcast over the North judi
cial epicures, by the name Of commissioners, who
stunk in the nostrils of the people.
He then spoke Of politics, and declared that
while the Democracy of the North fully aer
knowedged the obligations of the Constitution IN
reference to the return OF fugitive slaves, yet, il
the Democratic convention should incorporate IN
its creed the compromise measures, 1t would, IN
his opinion, be followed by inevitable, disastrous
defeat.
The committee rose, and reported the bills
which had been under consideration to the House,
when ..
The bill authorizing the calling of an extra SEES

SIR ;-After consulting many persons interested in
the principal Ra-Roa in the United States, the
undersigned propose 10 establish agencies in this
city and in New York, for the purpose Of collect.
ing full and authentic Railroad statistics and
such other information will enable them 10 serve
persons desiring to invest in RAILROAD securities
or TO procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration Of Raj
Roads. They also propose, especially, TO urg,
upon Congress a modification Of the laws reat.
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, as TO su.
thorze the Post Office Department TO contract foI
the perpetual use Of Rail Roads, and, instead Q.
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for fou
years, TO advance in FIVE per cent. bonds Of tn,
United Suites, chargeable upon the revenues o.
the Post Office Departmental amount, the int
rest upon which at per cent would equal u
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile Fl
carrying the mail on FIRST class Railroads. Thus
is per cent. on 5000. The undersigned would
urge that instead Of paying $500 mile, per an
| mum, the Department should deliver, on acontrac
n perpetuity, FIVE 81 900 bonds, bearing an inte
rest Of five per centum. At this rate the charge
| 10 $3.50 mile, per annUm, and the $50 per mil,
saved would create sinking fund which will, in q
fewyenrs pay oifthe Bonds and give theuse ofaucf
roads forever thereafter, free OF all charge there
by efecting a vast saving on the present annua
expenditures Of the Po Office Department, and
a consequent reduction Of the rates Of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government Fol
instance, such a contract would give TO the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Company more thar
1900 900, which would enable that complete rs
road at early day, and greatly increase its bus
ness and profits.
But TO meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper sense Of the benefits 10 result
from this measure will require concert Of action
and continued active effort, through the press and
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
to your Company, expecting reasonable com
pensation, partly contingent upon the success o.
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro
priety Of your sending one or more delegates tc
this city, on the first "Wednesday in December
next, to confer with delegates from other Rail
Road Companies, as TO the details Of the propos-
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi servL
