! The House has made several Intellectual attempts
to induce the Senate to concur in rescnding the res
olution to adjourn Oh Wednesday. The accumula-
/ ton of business, important to be DONE has been
fearful, and if the Assembly adjourn On Wednesday
many matters will be thrown overheard which i'm
perativcly demand consideration. To-day, upon
Joint conference of Committees from each house it
was determined to rcscind; the Senate, however,
proved refractory and has been, and will be to the
cnl, most consistently stubborn. 1t really seems
that scat upon the floor Of the Legislature is most
remarkably conducive to the intense development OF
that cc,nmcnlable affection which makes an ndivid-
ual anxious to see his wife and especially his chill
iren; and strange to say, the susceptibility, it ap-
rcars ;nrr.aS,s WI! age. 1t strikes Inc that in
choosing cgi> !ator: il would We we'll to Lave an eye
TO this quality, and beware cf those in whom this
question is so absorbing. If the State thereby
would become the snbcct Of a spontaneous combus-
ton these members nevertheless would spend their
Christmas ..in the bosom Of their families! Mr.
Wilson and Mr.. ClawsOn are both victims.
ought to have mentioned in my last letter that
the Board of Trustees of the College have detcrmn-
ell to dispense entirely with the services of DR..
Thoruwcll. and instructed the Faculty, meantime,
To provide Professor and Chaplain pro t'm%;!c.-
The Faculty have accordingly given the Department

not hc surprised if this chair, which is now praci

of much regret. Tie department j. provcrbiall,

Our latest adviccs from Europe by the Baltic, ur
to lst December, arc of no special Importance The
burden Of the intelligence refers to rumors of dis.
position on the part Of the Car to consent to terms
of peace favorable to the allied powers AS far as
l can eethcy are not reliable. There is nothing
new from the seat of war--the campaign of '55 ap-
pears to be ut an end, and without any success on
either side which would give an indication as to the
! future.
! The House Of Representatives at Washington had
not at last accounts succeeded in effecting nm organi
zation. Two ballots were had for speaker on Satur-
day, without any change in the vote. The prospect
of an early election is by no means fattering.
| On Friday evening last, serious affray occurred
in bar-room on Bridge Street, in which one of the
city marshals, Mr.. Thomas Cross, was shot by man
named James McCombs. 1t is feared the wound will
! prove to be fatal.
Washburne's Circus is here, and tonight drew the
largest crowd that was ever known to attend such
an entertainment in this latitude. From the street
demonstrations am disposed to think that the whole
concern is mostconsummate failure; and doubtless
the main portion of their success here is already
achieved. s. W. NJ
