WASHINGTON, Thursday, June %.
Mr.. Rocky well presented memorial signed
by over 1890 persons, principally Of Boston,
asking the immediate repeal of the Fugitive
Slave Law. He said the signers were persons
of all professions and occupations. and most
~ persons who had been disposed to support
the Compromise measures of 1850. They
were induced to ask the repeal of the Fugitive
Slave law because of the late act repeating the
Missouri Compromise He moved that it be
referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Mr.. Dixon said that before that motion was
adopted, he. as well as other Senators, desired
to be heard. He therefore moved that it be
postponed till tomorrow.
Mr.. Sumner hoped the memorial would be
referred.
Mr.. Dixon's motion was agreed to.
Mr.. Seward reported bill for the establish
ment Of line of steamers between California
aud Shanghai i'll China, and gave notice that
he would call it up tomorrow.
Mr.. Clayton presented the proceedings of a
meeting in Delaware, demonstrating against
any treaty or other measure for reciprocal
trade in Breadstuffs with Canada.
Mr. Mason reported bill allowing the Or
ange and Alexandra Railroad to construct a
temporary railroad over the Long Bridge and
through Washington City to connect with the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
HousE.-Mr. Houston, from the Commit
tee on Ways and Means, reported bill to en-
able the President to carry into effect the Gads-
den reaty-appropriating $4,000, 900 for
that purpose.
Referred to the Committee of the Whole on
the state of the Union.
Mr.. Benton said he was not willing to go
into the consideration of that bill until they
had an opportunity to inquire whether the
privileges Of the House have not been invaded
in the negotiation of that treaty.
Mr.. Houston replied it was a distinct bill,
and was not designed to be taken up in con-
Iiexion with the General Appropriation BILL
There was an express provision which req uires
bills to carry treaties into effect to be separate
ly considered in Committee OF the Whole.
Mr.. Odds, from the Committee on Post
Offices, reported bill to amend the Postage
law. charging three cents on a single letter for
any distance not exceeding 5000 miles-over
that distance, ten cents. Ocean postage to
foreign countries, under {, 900 miles, five cents
over that distance ten cents. Drop letters
one cent; advertised, one cent additional.
Mr.. Olds moved that the bill be put upon
its passage; but further action was deferred
till tomorrow.
Some personal explanations as to recent oc-
currences were made, when the House went
into Committee on the General Appropriation
bill.

FOREIGN POPULATION IN THE UNITED STATES
The New York Mirror has an interesting arti-
Gle upon the Irish and other Foreign popula-
ton in the United States, from which we
quote:-
Official statistics show that the Irish in the
United States number less than one-half the
foreign population. Within the last two or
three years, the German emigrants have out
numbered the Irish, and the minority of the
latter to the whole foreign population is no
greater.
The Irish population of the United States,
we find, is only about l-23d or l-24th, of its
whole population; and the entire foreign pop
ulation from all parts Of the world does not
much exceed I-l2th.
The great mass Of the American population
is powerfully and unshakeably Protestant
Thus the leading sects stands about as follows,
according to the official Census returns of
1850 -
