Porpetual Light.

Our Eastern exchanges speak OF a most curl
Gus and interesting discovery, recently made at
Laugres, France, which will cause scientific
inquiry as 10 the material and properties Of the
perpetually burning lamps, said to have been in
use among the ancients. Workmcn were re-
Gently excavating for foundation for a new
building il the debris, evidently remains of Gal.
To- Roman erection, when they came TO the roof
of an under ground sort of cave, which time had
rendered almost of metallic hardness. An open
ing, however, was effected, when one of the
" orkmen instantly exclaimed that there was a
light at the bottom of the cavern. The parties
present entered, when they found bronzed
sepulchural lamp Of remarkable workmanship,
suspended from the roof hy chains of the same
metal. 1t was entirely fCd with combusiiye
substance, which did moi appear 10 have dimin.
ished, although the probability is the cOmbus-
lion has been going for ages. This discovery
Iwill throw some light on a question which has
caused so many disputes among learned antigua
lries, although il was stated that one was disoov-
cred at Viterbo, in 1850, from which, however,
no fresh inforDationwas afforded on tie subject.

JEFFERSON CRY, Sept. 10.

SENATE
The Senate met at nine o'clock. Mr.. Allen
said he, Yesterday endeavored TO introduce two
bills, both relating to the Pacific railroad - the
bills were first an act to authorize the city Of
St. Louis to subscribe stock TO the Iron Noun
tain branch of the Pacific railroad, and second
an act in relationto the award Of damages against
said company for right of way, so as to allow
the work on the road 10 progress during the ad-
Indication Of an appeal when taken. lie now
asked leave to introduce those bills.
After long discussion leave was refused
upon the ground that it would be violating the
Iioint resolution, regarding business and precc-
dent which would lend TO accumulate mass oil
business and lengthen the session.
Propositions were made TO adjourn sine die
on Monday and Thursday, both Of which were
rejected there being an evident disposition to
settle the business before ;he Legislature, be-
fore fixing day for adjournment.
The Pacific railroad bill was then taken up.
The question pending being on the amendment
Offered Yesterday by Mr.. Allen, so as to make
the third section Of the bill conform TO the

HOUSE, MORNING SESSION.
The first business in order was the amend
ment offered by Mr.. Brown, Of st. Louis, to the
Hannibal and St. Joseph bill.
On motion Of Mr.. Johnson, the House went
into committee Of the whole, and took up the
Senate bill, together with Mr.. Browns amend
ment.
Mr.. Tompkins in the chair.
Mr.. Hardin, of Galloway offered an amend
ment TO the Senate bill, the object of which was
TO bring up the project Of a North Missouri
road, from st. Charles TO some point on the Iowa
line.
Upon these various projects quite an interest
ing debate took place. when the committee took
"a recess until o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Mr.. johnson offered an amendment which
contempates all the branches proposed under
the same railroad question as the bill reported
from the Senate; it proposes particularly a south
W estcrn route, together with main trunk with
the terminus at Kansas.
The committee rose and reported to the House
the Senate bill, and recommended its pas sage,
which was agreed to.
Mr. Hunter then moved to agree to the report
of the committee.
The ayes and noes being called stood ayes II
noes 40. So the report was agreed 10.
Mr.. Brown then moved to strike out the first
four sections.
Mr.. Moss thought the amendment out of or
der, as contrary TO the resolution passed by the
House restricting the business TO matters con-
tanned in the Governors Message. This con-
templated branches which did not come in the
Ipurview of their business under This resolution.
The Chair decided the amendment TO be in or
der.
Mr.. Moss appealed from the decision of the
Chair.
A debate took place in regard TO the cor,struc-
ton of the resolution in course of which it was
urged that the rule Of the House must be chang
ed TO let IN the amendment.
The question being "Shall the decision Ol
the Chair stand as the judgment of the House!''
was decided as follows: ayes Ga, noes 81.
On motion, House adjourned until Z o'clock
tomorrow morning.
