News OF the Morning.
The receipt of the English papers brought by
she America, which reached Boston yesterday
afternoon enables us to furnish 6 brief report Of
the debate in the House of Commons, on Lord
John Russell's Militia bill, the defeat of which
MEASURE, by majority of eleven votec, compelled
Me mover TO announce his intention of resign
ing. The downfall OF Lord Johns ministry is
mainly attributable to the ejectment Of Lord
Palmerston from the cabinet. The new bi,
was not at all popular with even the whigs:
and when Lord p. camo to throw his weight
INTO tae tory scale against il, of course it had tc
70 down. The London papers seem to be at . loss
~ to who will be Lord j. Russelis successor. They
are about equally divided between Sir James Ora
ham and Earl Derby-the latter being strong
and popular tory leader, will probably succeed to
the vacancy. We find but little other news Of
special interest in our fes-our telegrsphic synop
sis yesterday appears to have embraced about al
Of it.
The Sierra Nevada arrived yesterday. with very
hate ne US from Jamaica. That island appears to
be in deplorable condition. It's inhabitants are
determined, however, to appeal to the mother coun-
try, and intend to send delegates to England to
represent their situation to Parliament.
Yesterday being private bill day in the United

Another long and somewhat exciting debate came
Of in the House of Representatives, yesterday, on
the Presidential question, principally between
Meesrs. Campbell, whig, and Olds, dem, of Ohio,
and Mr.. Chastain, dem OF Ga. The merits and
dement's of the mum erous candidates were discussed
the entire day. Mr. Campbell was particularly
severe on the policy pursued by Gen. Cass with
reference to internal improvements, and especially
with regard to his non attendance Of the Chisago
convention. Mr.. Olds deplored the want Of una.
nimity in the democratic patry, and Mr.. Chastain
gave history Of the Union party in Georgia
The democratic State Convention of Pennsyl.
vania adjourned yesterday, after q very exciting
and inharnonious fession. Buchanan delegates
were selected to attend the National Convention,
with instructions to vote for "Pennsylvanas favo-
rite SON. the first and only choice of the democ-
racy Of that State. The Cass men-thirty three
in number-pIotested against the proceedings Of
the majority, and the whole affair indicates the re.
verse Of unanimity and good feeling among the do.
nocrats Of the keystone State.
From Albany we learn tina. the democrats came
very near being caught mapping" in the Assem-.

Walsh, being on the alert, however, managed to
thwart their designs by Withdrawing his own reso.
fution authorizing the Governor to call new cleo.
tion. Parties are so nicely balanced this cold

which will eventually prove the victor. AS the
weather gets warmer, it lie probable that the dc.
bates in the Assembly will become more exciting.
The recent snow storm has somewhat blocked up
the voices of speakers. 1t is hoped that The snow
will soon disappear, for we have had enough Of it
Ger one season.
A large number OF claims for losses sustained on
canal contracts, were yesterday allowed by the Sc.
nate, and it is intimated that great many more
will be allo wed during the present session Thisis
all wrong. When one private individual enters
into an agreement with another to do certain
amount Of work. and in the END finds tina. he has
lost by the Job, he does rot for a moment think Of
such thing as appealing TO his employer for adii
tional pay; then, why should contractors on the
public works do sol When they make an i'm.
mense proft-Which /. is well know many Of them
do-they quietly pocket Il; but the moment they
Lose, they fly to the Legislature for relief. Let
them stick TO their bArgains-that's the motto Of
homes. tridesmen.
Our Albany correspondent writes that it is likely
the ufury laws will be repealed SO far as they ap
pertain to the transactions ofindviduals. This will
be popular move. The acts are daily, nay hourly,
violated, and IL is utterly useless to undertake the
enforcement Of their observance. Every man feela

and will make as much out Of it as he can-lav VS.
