The debate in the House of Representatives,
on the resolution for vote of thanks to Capt IN
graham, for his conduct in the koszta affair the
National lntelligenoer says took wide range
some members supporting the resolution in IN
mended form, because it did not commit the coun-
try to any principle, and others supporting it be-
cause it did assert principle. Others opposed
il for the reason that il committed the Govern
ment to questionable principle, and others again
because it did not come up to the feeling of the
"great American heart" II was minated, too
during the discussion, that the principles laid
down in Secretary Marcy's letter to the Austrian
Minister would undergo searching investigation
whena reference of the Presidents Message and
accompanying documents should again be before
the Committee of the Whole

ticed in their proceedings, which were appropri-
ately referred.

nication from the Secretary of the Board ofPub-
lie Works, in answer to "A resolution of the House,
stating that there have been expended of the sum
appropriated to the Covington and Ohio Railroad
$50, 900, and that in the next fiscal year there

appropriation already made, S2,00O,000.
The communication ordered to be printed
Mr. Mallory presented the petition of the Ex-
change Bank of Norfolk for a re-charter. which,
on his motion, ordered to be printed.
The Speaker announced the following commit
tee ON the part of the House to examine the
books and affairs of the Bank of the Old Domin-
ion, Viz Messrs Garnett, Skinner and Campbell
Mr. Mayo moved the indefinite postponement
of the bill, which motion sustained by him and
opposed by Messrs. Smith of kanawha, and FL
tyson Messrs. Mayo and ELY sonboth referred 10
the history of the proceedings in the county of
Henrico with regard to the road deducing op-
posite conclusions as to the justice of the case
Mr.. Mayo contended that all had been fair and
just, and that the power of charging tolls ought
not to be granted to the company, which he con-
tended had forfeited its charter. Mr.. Ellyson de-
MED that the charter had been forfeited and argu
ed that the panest principles of Justice demanded
the Legislature should reinstate the company in
its authority to demand tolls and control its prom
erty.
Before the question taken, on motion of
Mr.. Staples of Patrick the House adjourned.

The Amy and Navy of England

The English regular troops who are now on
service in the United Kingdom consist, in round
numbers of 200 cavalry and $4,000 infantry
and artillery The condition of the men has been
much improved within the last few years by the
introduction of rewards for good conducts of bar
rack libraries; of schools, both for children and
adults; and various other minor improvements.
Besides the above force, it is estimated that II
corps of 65,OO0 active and Jealous Young men,
will before long he sufficiently trained to act with
effect in conjunction with the troops of the line
aud artillery, and ll,000 others arr in training
to act with the cavalry. These troops of yeo-
many and militia, added to 10000 enrolled pen
soners, all old and experienced soldiers, form an
available defensive force, in Great Britain and
Ireland, of -, 100 cavalry aud horse artlery,an
10000 infantry and artillery.
But 1t is upon her fleet that England mainly
relies for successful resistance TO an attempt ut
foreign invasion, and especially upon her steam
marine. In 1888 the English navy possess
ed only sixteen steamers OF all denominations
In 1853 there are about oae hundred and seventy
steam vessels, of II gross nominal powe. OF for
ty-hve thousand five hundred horses. This nom
inal horse power, however, is not 10 be taken as
an index of their actual horse power--as, for ex-
ample the engines of the Agamemnon, nominally
of 600, really work up to more than 1000 horse
power.
The great want of the English navy, in case of
an invasion of war, would be that of sailors. A
recent report of committee of naval officers
states that not more than 81 900 available sea-
men are to be found in the United Kingdom at
any one time; and at the same time there are
% 600 who are protected from compulsory ser
vice, and have hitherto preferred sailing in mer-
chant ships To entering the service of her Ma
jesty Within few months orders have passed
holding out stronger inducements for sailors TO
enlist and it is thought that this evils in fair
way to be remedied. An act was passed during
the late session empowering the Admiralty to
raise 10000 men from among the sea faring pop
uation, to be termed the "Nnyal Cost Nolun-
teers." These are to be entered for five
years, to receive a bounty of f6 per man, and
the pay of able seamen while serving. They are
to be trained and exercised within fifty leagues
of the coast for aperiod oftwenty eight days ev-
cry year, and upon being called into active war
service may be employed 100 leagues from the
kingdom. They are to be exempt from all 9TH
er service in the navy, will, it is believed, have
the desired effect, and place the country in such
position that ON any sudden unforeseen en-
Urgency England viii be able to man a fleet in as
short time as any of her neighbors.-Bostoa

The Union speaking of the report set ahoat by
the New York Herald, that Mr.. Gadsden had con-
clnded treaty with Santa Anna for the settle
ment of various matters with Mexico, states that
there is not word of truth in the report, and
that it is a fabrication out and out. The public
will thus see with what stuff they are frequently
furnished by the Washington correspondents of
the Northern papers, and how little dependence
is to be placed upon most of the rumors emanat-
ing from the Federal metropolis.

COUNTERFEIT NoTEs.--Between two and three
hundred dollars in counterfeit notes were circu-
lated in our city yesterday morning. They were
all twcnties, purporting to be Of the Bank of
Georgetown, 5. G. The officers started last eve
ming towards Halifax, Va in pursuit of two ind-
viduals, residents of that county, and from whom
all or part of the notes are said to have been
received. As it is possible that these parties
may not be criminaiiy implicated in forging or
passing the notes we abstain for the present
from giving their names. They will no doubt be
brought bock to the city and the affair then pro-
perry investigated.
j. 5: Since the above was in type, the officers
who went in pursuit of the eounterfeiters, have
returned, having arrested them at Campbell
Court House and brought them TO this city,
Sl60 of the same notes were found upon them.

AGRIcuLrURAi.-AnA Agricultural meeting was
held at the Court House Of Washington county
the first day of December Court, for the purpose
of organizing county Agricultural Society.
The meeting, says the Abingdon Democrat,
was addressed by Thos. l.. Preston, esq, who
gave a highly interesting and instructive account
of the State Agricultural exhibition, recently held
in the city of Richmond and very zealously and
forcibly urged upon the meeting the great impor-
lance of forming county society-showing by
the most conclusive arguments and Agricultural
statistics the happy results likely TO be realized
from such organization.
At the conclusion of the address, committee
of eighteen was appointed-two from each civil
district,to procure subscriptions and members to
a county Agricultural Society, aud report their
proceedings to the Society nj its next meeting
This is a movement of the right sort and we hope
to it followed up by every county in the State.
II is by such local agencies that the State socie-
ty must expect to operate suecessfnlly-to slim
ulate local Improvement and produce that gener-
al association and union Of the Agricultural in
terest, on which the idea of its improvement must
be based.

Correspondence OF the LynohbuIg virginian.
WAsnrNaroN, Jan. 9th. 1853.


The reputed loss of the steamer San Francisco,
with regiment Of L. :. Artillery officers and
families causes a most profound sensation in this
city. The War Department j. understood 10
have acted most promptly in ordering the charter
of steamer TO search for the wreck. Never was
there, perhaps, so disastrous a season on oil our
coasts. The Florida wreckers, il is said. speak
quite as coolly on the prospect OF good crop, as
do the farmers. Their hardy services have been
much needed in other quarters.
The loss Of the President and of the Pulaski
is still fresh in the public mind, and every one
recurs with pleasure 10 his sensations on hearing
of the safety of the atlantic. How many saeri-
fees have been made to the Ego ahead" principle
that has distinguished us as people Legsla-
ton for the protection of life and property, how
ever stringent, will hardly avail much, as long as
we are ambitious of being the fast country
Our great acquisition California, is likely to
prove of more trouble than real yaue,n public
point of view. The various commissions sent out
for various purposes effect very little more than
to afford few good offices for party fayorites.
Already il is agitated to create separate estab-
shmcnts for Army, Navy, Land, Postal. Indian
aud other purposes. An emporium in imperio"
is hardly consistent with the simplicity compact
and efficiency Of our republican creed
And though the country is thus already of an
wiedy size, there are many strenuously urging
farther acquisitions As a commentary, note
the proposition of Mr.. Stanton. to pay from the
contingent fund of the House for the services of
an interpreter for Mr.. Gallegos, the 'progressipe'
delegate from New Mexico. What a valuable
man to his constituency is this Mr.. Gallegos =
When we get in Mexico, Cuba, the Sandwich Is

The next Presidential question will be mainly
on the question of territory, in other and
flash parlance-progress uless the South CON
sents again TO the interpostion of the black hob
by. Radcalism, rank and dangerous, pervades the
land; young Americanism--the ridiculous aping
of n foreign and altogether different status of
public character and affairs will in all probability
have its candidate. If SO, the conservatism of
the intelligent. law abdng vote, embodied in
the wing party, will for 'this election at least,
attract enough of the same material of other par
ties TO defeat the motley host. A. b. c.

The New York Courier of Tuesday, says =
"A sale OF Virginia per cents. was etfec ed Mt
l01 which is a decline ON previous sales. The
State had not punctually met the coupons,or in
terest due, on the bonds of the ChesaI cake and
Ohio Canal Company, guaranteed by the State.
The amount due in July last had not been paid in
December, there being provision made for it.
Such contingencies should be carefully provided
for by the Legislature, especially it is well
known that the Canal Company has not paid for
many years, and never can pay, the interest on
the debt" The democratic party have charge of
the credit and finances of the State. If by their
Encouragement the State stocks are brought
down, hey should be made to shoulder the re-
sponsibility. by the people whose pockets are
