Mr.. souLE is upon the point OF going home on
professional business and in addition to the brilliant
speech on Nor. Intervention, that he takes in his
hand, with which to delight his constituents, he
wished 10 take something more substantial. He
therefore worked very hard yesterday to get through
the Senate his bill establishing steam line between
New. Orleans and Vera Cruz. Mr.. BoRLASDplasued
him excessively, and tried his temper soreiy, BY his
discussion and re-discussion, and two or three
returns to rediscussion OF the subject. Il was
one of those occasions when the Senate takes up .
question for smmediafe passage, and when IL 10 e.
pscay desired that nobody shall talk, but whom IL

member with perfectly malignant g,ip. The bill
was upon the point Of its twenty times when
il was each time arrested by single word" or

agony of impotence at the tormenins delay In CON-

would have gone over and the Senate have gone 10
