The News.
The dense fog and unsettled state of the weather,
yesterday, prevented three steamers, two or three
clipper ships, and large number of other vessels in
ending about forty andat schooners, from pro-
eeeding to sea. Among the steamers detained was
the Collins steamer Baltic, for Liverpool She will
leave ct noon to-day.
An unusually large amount Of business was trans
acted in the United States Senate yesterday, of
which the first in importance is probably the resou
ton offered by Mr. Davis for the settlement of the
Hshery difficulty with the British provinces. Ac-
sording to our special correspondent, the treaty
with regard to this matter will not be per-
kcted by Aessrs. Everett and Champion, the
1srmer gentleman being unwilling to continue ne
gotations, now that his term of Office is draw
ing so near close. It is understood that Mr.
c. received full instructions from his government by
The steamer Africa but they came little too late to
be ofservice during the existence Of the present ad
Dinistration. Under these circumstances Mr. Davis
has adopted the expedent suggested in our columns
some time ago. for the practical settlement Of the fish
cry affair to the general satisfaction of all concerned
He simply proposes, that whenever it shall be made
manifest that fishermen are permitted to take and
cure fish equal terms with the coonists, this 60
vernment win abolish the duty of twenty per cent on
the fish brought into our ports in British vessels
VIII the British government do this?
Among other measures passed by the Senate were
the Naval Appropriation and the Missouri and Ar.
kansas Railroad land bills. An unsuccessful attempt
was made to cucumber the latter with Mr.. BENEFITS
land division BILL The friends of this project seem
determined to keep it aloat, for the very proper
ron that, while the public domain is being lavish
j. distributed among the new States, for the pur
poses of internal improvement the old States ought
not tobe altogether forgotten Various important
amendments having been made to the Deficiency
bin, by the committee, notice given that it would
be called up tomorrow. Judge Butler made speech
against the constitutionaty, necessity and practical
bility of the Pacific Railroad scheme.
Three private bills were passed by the House Of
Representatives after which long and uninteresting
debate took place concerning the printing of the
census returns How often we are called upon to re-
cord the excessive waste of valuable time upon the
yabject Of printing The joint resolutions reported
by the committee were eventually passed without
amendment. They provide that the simple census
returns alone shall be published and that the hiso
rcal matter gathered by the superintendent shall be
thrown out
Nothing Of importance transpired in our State
1enate yesterday. The members who had recently
been thrown into such extraordinary state OF ex
element about the Broadway Railroad affair, proba-
bly, concluded that as it was near the Sabbath, it
would hardly comport with their divinity and morality
