Another Scene.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, gives account of the proceed
ings Of the House of Representatives, on the 22d
inst and says;-
" The House was IN Committee on the priv.te
calender, and it was laying aside all the bills to
be Iayorably reported 10 the House, TO which no
objection was made, while those TO which ohjee
ton was made, were laid aside to be taken up
probably next session. or whit Is still moro prob
ably, not till the next Congress. Mr.. --, was
in state of qunrresome ntoxcation, and when
the Chairmnn, (Alr Iicndrioks) said the bill will
be laid aside if not objected to, Mr.. -, would
call out 81 object lie continued to do this,
with no other than the most stupid mnlignity,
without reason and without sense, and n number
Of bills were laid aside, which will be of serious
consequence To the claimants for whose relief the
bills ere introduced. At last, the Chairman per-
oeiyiug the condition of the objcctor, managed to
eyade his objection and 10 lay some of the bills
aside To ho reported as if the objections were not
made. Mr.. ----, pefcciying tbs, became excl
ted. declared he would have his rights ON that
floor, called the Chairman abusive names, and
used other language of similar character, aud
not being noticed, rose and staggered toward the
Chairman, who, however, was luckily guarded ON
that side by the Sergeantat Arms Several at
tcmpts to get the drunkard out of the House failed
but at last Mr. Orr of y. c., succeeded, aud the
business of I he Committee proceeded.
Such dsgrnoeful proceedings in the House Of
Representatives. we arc sorry to say, are by 10
means uncom non'

-Aonnisition of Cnha

In defending the administration from the com
pnints of the fllibusters, who think tits laggord
in its efforts TO ''absorb" Cuba. the Union gives
OUT, that all diplomatic means are to be resorted
TO- in order to purchase the standard if they fail
other measures are TO be adopted, TO effect the
desired acquisition; and it concludes follows
"ln the message sent to CuHgress,in March,by
the President, nregard TO the Bnck Warrior af-
fair. the suggestion was made that n contingency
might arise in which the Executive might require
provisional men surps to enable him to protect the
national inie rests. Congress has adopted no
such measure s-,doubtess under the hope that
negotiations would end IN satisfactory result;
but, with this rec ommendation before them, aud in
view Of the pr, sent state Of things in Cuba, in
our own country and in Spain, we do not suppose
that Congress will adjourn without placng with
in the disposal of the Executive the means neces-
sary to enable him Ia net efficiently in any emer-
genoy that may arise during the recess

The reading of the first letter made deep lm,

great sensation amongst the ministry. The
Queen even mentioned the word reconciliation

has, like Pashkicwich, retired to take counsel,
and now talks of winterng at Bomorsund where
they found many agreeable inducements for "A

Admiral has backed out OF his projected attack
on Cronstadt for the present, having fully recog-
nized its impractcability Cronstadt contains
10000 picked soldiers, under the best military
commander and the ablest man by natural talent

Post learns that arrangements are now in prog
ress for the publication of the correspondence OF
the late Daniel Webster, in two volumes, uniform
with, Little q Browns edition of Mr. Webster's
speeches. under the editorial supervision OF his
son, Mr.. Fletcher Webster. This correspondence
will possess more than ordinary interest and val
ne. Among the correspondents of Mr.. Webster
were most of the distinguished public men OF the
last half century, including Madison, Marshall
Writ, Clay and Story. Among the papers is an
account of Mr.. Webster's difficulty, which crea-
ted some sensation many yCasaso, with the Gel
ebratod John Randolph OF Roanoke. They were
both members of the House of Representatives at
the same time.
The letters will probably be arranged, (suhiect
to such change as the editor may see fit hereafter
to adopt, under the four heads of Political, Pro
fessional, Social and Domestic. Under the hrst
head would be included, among others, certain
unpublished papers international affairs as
well as letters on the domestic politics and parties
of Mr.. Webster's time. The thre head would
cover such letters as have specimens OF in
his notes to his New Hampshire steward, John
Taylor, Seth Weston. Porter Wright, and to his
friends generally. The domestic would embrace

CHoLERA.-lheC Cholera seems to be spreading,
aud the probabilities are that it will prevail as an
epidemic this season. 1t is on the increase in
the northern cities, tho in the western, it is
slightly abatng.As was seen from our telegraph
lie dispatch of Friday nightt is prevailing to an
awful extent at Niagara Everything calculated
to arrest its progress, and prevent It's spreadng
should be made known and employed. We there
fore publish the following.
Dir. j. =. Hobbs, of Memphis, has addressed a
letter TO the mayor Of Nashville, in which he
states that by the use OF eistern water entirely
and exclusively the cholera will disappear and
never return. The doctor saws this is known to
him by analysis, and by an experience of twenty
four years. The editor of the Nashville Gazette
aays, that from his own observation in the year
1919, when the cholera was in its worst stages,
it was admitted by those best acquainted with the
disease, that those who used rain water where the
disease was most prevalent were free from it.
