The News,


Abe House Of Representatives at twelve o'clock on
Friday nigh, was at two O'Clock yesterday extend
ed to the hour of meeting tomorrow. The mem,
bers, having enjoyed a brief refrigeration, assem-
bled in full force compared notes, and adjourned,
apparently with as much joyousness a5 a congrega-
ton OF school-boys emancipated from the discipline
of pedagogue. A caucus Of the opposition
probably held last night and arrangement made
by which the debate will be closed during the week.
OF course objection will be offered to the post
ponement of the Pacific Railroad bill when it
comes up on Tuesday, as that question must
necessarily be included in any arrangement
that is entered into between the parties. The
utter failure of the meeting in the Park last
evening, in point Of respectability and numbers,
cannot fail to exert salutaiy influence upon those
members of the House that have heretofore regarded
the ncendiary appeals OF certain journals as indca
tiors of popular sentiment against the Nebraska BILL
Such gatherings, if they have any effect at ALL add
strength to the measures and if the journals alluded
to desire to see the majority upon it quadruple that
first claimed, they need only continue their intern
peIate appeals to the neanest of all human passions
Terrible doings expected in Boston to-day. A
fellow named Orr, who calls himself the Angel
Gabriel well known to our citizens as the frequent
promoter of tumults in the Park created a riot in
Il
He was supposed to be possessed of devil,n and
accordingly number of medical men held an
anti.mortem examination, and pronounced him
"wholc.n But instead Of allowing the angelic Orr
to ruminate for about thirty days within the walls
of penitentiary for disturbing the peace the au-
thorites have granted him permission to renew his
disturbances today, and ordered the military under
arms to protect him. There appears strong desire
to draw the Roman Catholics into collision with
the abetors Of this selfappointcd apostle which we
hope they will have the good sense to avoid.
Our letters and files of papers brought by the Can
ada came to hand yesterday afternoon. The points
of the news, received by telegraph, have already
been placed before our readers but the correspond
and copious extracts from foreign journals
which may be found commencing the seventh
page of todays paper, are worth an attentive peru
Sal, completing The history Of affairs in Europe.
We publish today letter from one of the four
wives Of member Of the Legislature of Utah to
her sister in New Hampshire, embracing well
written argument in defence Of the peculiar insti
tuition Of the Morncns. As this subject has bat
recently occupied large share of the attention of
Congress, we would recommend them 70 read this
brochure, that they may the better resolve their
doubts as TO the practice OF polygamy. The pGnci-
pies of the dominant political party relative to ex
elusive privileges, monopolies, and 50 forth, re-
quire rc-afirmation- should be no partially
shown.
The arrival Of the steamship Atlantic, with later
news from Europe, may be expected during the day.
She left Liverpool on the 81 OF May. The report Of
the arrival Of the Washington below last evening
was premature.
On the inside pages may be found the conclusion
of the interesting paper the rights OF neutrals

Vernon; medical intelligence communication
concerning the New York firemcn legal news tn
atrical and commercial intelligence, &c, &c,
BY way of Charleston we have later news FROM
Havana and Key West. The conduct of the Captain
General of Cuba in the Black Warrior outrage is
approved of by the government of Madrid. This
fully agrees with our intelligence by the Canada,
ard there is, therefore, doubt upon that point.
y has been alleged that contract exists with
Great Britain by which Spain is bound to emant
pate slavery the island, but this is denied by the
Marquis dc Pezuela, who has issued some new reg !
lations making it lawful to search for slaves on e
tates. Meantime, the Jesuits are said to have re-
gained full influence, and are busiy engaged in pro-
noting an amalgamation of races BY marriage. The
news from Key West is OF Importance TO our ship
owners.

though many were terribly mangled no lives were
lost, so far as ascertained at last accounts The
Of the foremost train were shattered into frag
ments. The escape Of the passengers with life Is
miracle.
