The Confirmation Of llr. Rsdneld. Ca this
question, the vote stood IS yeas to nays, ac-
cording to the information already aaoat in
political circles All the latter cept one,
are said to have been Whigs-Senator Benja.
min leading them.
We have reason to believe that the following
Senators voted nay, viz: Messrs. Benjamin,
Toombs, Dawson, Badger, Dixon, Bell, = and
Morton. The eighth, the Democrat: is nameless,
go far. He seems to be like the striped little
pig that frisked around 30 as to render it i'm
possible to count him. efya - - e
This result bears out what We have published
from the start upon this sxbiect. It will be
recollected the New York Herald for weeks
insisted that he would be rejected, or if not,
that grand Democratic opposition to the Ad-
ministration, would show itself on this ques-
ton. It is we'll known, too that our friends
the Hards, left no stone unturned to accom-.
| plish the Heraid's predictions They fought
the fight quite up to noon yesterday and
found themselves utterly unable to coax more
than single Senator elected as Democrat to
take ground against his confirmation.
Pay Of Captain assigned to a Colonels
Command.-It has more than once been de-
cided here that Captain in the line, who is
| a Major by brevet, and has been assigned to
the appropriate command of Lieutenant
Colonel or Colonel, is entitled to the pay of
Major only. Pay in such cases follows the
commission held, not the duty performed; and
to entitle an officer of the Army to the pay of
a higher grade in the militia in the service of
the United States, he must be actually ap-
pointed to that grade, and not merely assigned
to its command. ....
The Warehousing System We apprehend
that the House Committee on Commerce stand
prepared to report very shortly, o bill so amend
ing our warehousing system, as to allow foreign
importations intended for consumption in this
country, to remain in bond for any length of
| time up to three years. Thus placing such
goods in all respects on footing with those
imported for re-exportation. The proposed
change is a good one, inasmuch as it cannot
fail to facilitate commerce without endanger-
ing the revenue ON customs.
A Roorback.-The following telegraphic
despatch from Washington, we find in the Bal.
timore SIM Of this morning:

Affairs in Madrid. -Letters received by ths
last arrival from Europe, addressed to gentle
men connected with the embassies of European
governments in this city, speculate upon thu
dethronement of Queen Isabella, as really be
coming probable in the present temper o.
