Senator BorIand and Mr. Kennedy.

An incident of an unpleasant character occurred in the United States Senate yester- day. Immediately after the adjournment, MT. Kennedy of the Census Office, ap- nroached Senator Borland, who had in de- bate severely criticized the official coSduct of Mir. Kennedv--and in polite manner offered to explain something he thought the Senator had misapprehended Senator Bor- land, in a very insulting manner, repelled him, when MT. Kennedy remarked that in formation was "most apt to be declined when most needed" Whereupon, Senator BorIand stuck him a severe blow upon the face before any one around had anticipated his purpose.
 These facts, we believe, is strictly true | If there be any error in our statement, we have not been able, after minute inquiry, tt detect it.
 We stand with reference to the two gen tlemen on the same ground, and previous to this occurrence could not have made 6 destinction between them as respects oul feelings of partiality. To-day, howEer. we faal i. tn. he our duty 10 say that WI (egard with deep regret, the indignity offered tc Mir. Kennedy, and that while we know tha the people of this city and of the nation a large will condemn the act of Senator Bor land. neither his own reputation for bravery nor the dignity Of his State can be promoted by his conduct on this occasion
 The character of Mr. Kennedy, hs asso- citations in life, and the kind and gentleman ly bearing that have won for him the res. pect of the citizens of Washington. forbid the idea that he would be guilty of an act of rudeness; yet we are well assured that he is competent to protect his fame We trust, however, that justice, not 10 speak oi generosity and magnanimity, may induce Senator Borland to make amends for an act that he can scarcely hope will receive the sanction or approval of even his own most partial friends.

New Orleans Cotton Market.
CRESCENT OFFICE

Saturday morning, February l4, 1852.
 COTTON-A very fair degree of activity was manifested in our market on Saturday last and fully 10000 bales found purchasers at stea- dy rates. in the evening, the favorable accounts by the Liverpool steamer Europa were publish ed, showing an active and firm market there, with sales for the week of 43,OOO bales, nearly all to spinners. This intelligence gave still more confidence to operators with Us, an the business up to Thursday night comprised 23,- 800 bales, as follows: 5000 on Monday, $500 on Tuesday, 1000 on Wednesday, and $500 on Thursday, prices ruling constantly in favor of factors, without establishing any decided ad- vance. Yesterday the Pacifc's news being made public, and proving quite favorable, the demand was still more animated, and $500 bales found purchasers, making the entire trans actions of the week 42,O00 bales taken for En- gland, the Continent and the North. Prices close firmly at the figures below. The receipts at this port since the lst September are 7S4 ,63O bales against 64S,546 to same date last year, and at all the United States ports there is now an increase, compared with last year, of l2 2,6lO bales.

The subioined interesting letter gives a synopsis of the proceedings of the Railroad Convention held at Little Rock:
 STR. EXPRESS, Feb'y. l5.
 Dear Sir:-I enclose you the "Ark's, Whig." containing the proceedings of first two days of the Internal ImprovementC Con- venton.
 It is to be regretted that you had no rep resentation from Phillips.in the Convention. The citizens of Little Rock and every mem Der of the Convention would have received your delegation, had you have sent one, with the utmost good feeling and cordialty and, think, removed the impression which 10 some extent, seems to prevail at Helena, that the friends of the Central Road with terminus opposite Memphis, are opposed to your Road. Such is certainly not the case. I saw no opposition to your Road within the Convention, or with a single t--~-aOt.- ----i- , F ire~-i an expression, wished you success, and ex- pressed desire to see the early commence meEt and completion of your Road.
 There should be no rivalry between your Road, and the one terminating opposite Memphis. We cannot have too many Roads in Arkansas, and every citizen of the State, be his local position what it may, must desire come ection by Rail Road, not only with the Mississippi River but with the Atlantic Cities; this the Convention thought, and fully agree with it, could on- ly be effected by the construction of a cen- tral Road, as near as practable through the center of the State, terminating opposite Memphis (the only point in Arkansas where such connection can be had) with the ne- cessary lateral branches tapping the main or Central Road at suitable points.
 This last, as you will see by noticing the last days proceedings was not overlooked by the Convention, nor was your peculiar interest, though you had no immediate rep Iresentation, unrepresented.
 Col. Rector, of Saline, with view of as- certaining the most eligible terminus of the Central Road, as between Memphis, Hele- na, Napoleon and Gaines Landing, as well as to ascertain the ptaclicabity of construct ling the Road, introduced a resolution ask ing the appointment of committee, for those purposes. The committee consisting of one from each county was appointed and after a full and thorough investigato with persons before them familiar with each of the proposed Routes, reported in favor of the terminus of the main Road opposite Memphis, which report was unanim ously |adopted.
 The utmost unanimity prevailed; con- lsiderably amount of stock was subscribed, and , per cent paid in. All expressed them selves satisfied with the proceedings, and left for their respective homes determined 10 contribute something to carry out the ob, ects of the convention.
 Respectfully yours,

BRAHMIN BATTLE--A pair of beautiful natural curiosities of Brahmin steer and heifer, recently brought to this country from 1 the East Indies, at cost of near $4,000, are in Cincinnati. These singular animals have each on the wthers large boneless Ihump-that on the male greatly exceeding that on the female in size. Their ears are very long, those of the female being exact ly thirteen inches in length. The color of
 the steer is pure glossy white, blue spots
 in the skin; his height to the top of his hump is fifteen hands and one and half inches.
 the heifer is considerably smaller and of a
 handsome brown color. It is said the Brah- min people have for ages past worshipped
 that particular species of cattle, and to this
 day reverence them as gods. These two are the only ones in America, and are truly worth visit, especially from those who love tc contemplate and study the works of nature. Cincinnati Gazette.

Statistics of Hungary.

Hungary has a territory Of lIO,OUO square miles and population of Ii, ,OO0,O ,OOO: It is divided as follows. r ]. Hungary proper, including civil ocla- vonia, Crostia and the Heyduke districts. p Pennsylvania the Military Frontier. These countries are, legally, part of the Kingdom of Hungary, and are subject to the King of Hungary, who, by mere chance happens to be Emperor of Austria. He is not necessarily so-any more than the King of England is necessarily King of Hanover The following is a more ac- curate description of the whole Kingdom of Hungary.
 Hungary proper comprehendS: l. Eleven comitats or counties beyond or west of the Danube, containing 2,O0O,- 900 of people.
 ?. Thirteen counties on this side to east of the Danube, containing 5000, ,O00 of peo- pie.
 3. Eleven counties on this side of the river Thesis and Tibuscus, with 20O0, ,O00. f. Twelve counties beyond the Thesis, including the Banat, with 2,50O,000. }. SclaVonia with three counties, Syr-

Thus the whole Kingdom of Hungary independent of Aus tria, comprehends l25000 square miles, and l4,O00,0O0 of people.  Who WAS JUNIUsl-Lord Mahon, in the last volume of his History of England, has much say about the authorship of the cele- brated "Letters of Junus, ,"-and comes 10 the following conclusion: ''From the proofs adduced by others, and on a clear convic- l ton of my own, affirm that the author of Junus was no other than Sir Phillip Francis
 The London Literary Gazette also says. "We are as much convinced that Sir Phil | lip Francis was JuniuS, as that George III. was King of Great Britain"  VALUABLE DIsCovERY!-In a southern portion of Arkansas, near mountain of iron, mountain of emery or corondum has been discovered, equal, if not superior, to the Russian emery.
