Summary Of News.
The tflc:ai correspondence between this gov-
srnment and Great Britain. relative to the firing
into tie Prometheus by the English brig-of-
war Express, has been laid before Congress.
i will be seen by the letter of Lsrd Gran
vile to the American Minister, tina. the conduct
ii the commander Of the Express was an uneqaivc-
ssl and uncalled for nfrsotion CT treaty stipula-
:icps, snd as such the British government have
los, 10 time in rendering an ample apology
Amcpg the petition. presented IN tie United
States Senate yesterday, was enc praying for the
incorporation into the resolution asking for the
slepercy Of Great Britain in behalf Of the exiled
irish patriots, similar favor from Russia in be-
half Of The exiles to Siberia. After considerable
debate the petition was tabled. The resolution Of
sympathy for the Irish exi,es was afterwards taken
up, and Mr. Seward made lengthy speech in sup
s0r. Of the measure. He was opposed by Mcssrs
Mason, Of Va Dawson, Of Ca, and Underwood,
Of Ky. This indicates the strong determination Of
,he Southern members to oppose the resolution, On
me principle Of non.interyeDtion.
Quite en- ey.iting peraonal fara.up took place in
The House Of Representatives. yesterday, on the
presentation Of the resolutions of the New Jersey
Legislature, sustaining the Compromise. In the
esurss Of his remarks Mr.. Giddings, the Ohio
tree soile-, launched out into a TRADE of abuse
against the South, and all Southern and Northern
men, who dieappvove Of his peculiar ro.isns On
9ne CT two points, however, all unbiased persons
Esus. agree with him-and that is, tina. grea.
deal Of time was uselessly expended in de-
bs.ing measures during the last session, and that
Do. h.tleis likely TO be done by The present Con-
sress r7ic. to the nominations FOR the Presidency
But the Ohiosn neglected to menti on fact, and
that is that he has wasted as much, If got more
tame IN unnecessary talk than any other member.
His garIulity is yroverbial, and, like Abby Kelly,
re seldom permits anybody TO get word in edge
ways. Mr. Stanly replied to Mr.. G., who
N turn prone uR:ad the assertion Of MIR. 5. to be
sslse. From this point nos. violen. personal
1-grnen. arose, in which both speakers, as
well as numerous other members Of tie House
appear to have been unusually excited, al
though Tic talk was entirely confined to The Ohioan
and North Carolinian. Although Mr.. Stanly may
ressibly have got rather the best Of the argument
nc decidedly got The worst SO far as lljcous abuse
IL concerned. Such proceedings are signal dis
grace to the nation and will be deprecated by every
gentleman.
