WASHINGTON, June 10.
SENArE.-Mr Crittenden offered pre-
amble and resolution, calling on the Presi-
dennt to order General Scott to Kansas, with
power to arbitrate differences and adopt
such measures as would secure restoration
of peace. -;.e .,1.l..g
Mr. Mason was now unprepared either for
or against the resolution, and asked that it
might lay over until tomorrow. He had
doubts as to the propriety Of making such a
request of the President, Who, as command
er-in-chief of the army, had full charge of
the matter. While entertaining the high
est respect for the Senator from Kentucky,
he did not think the condition of things in
Kansas called Tor such course ~
Mr.. Crittenden replied that as General
Scott was an old man, the President might
feel some reluctance in ordering him on that
distant service, but in his opinion, the Sen-
ate ought to endeavor to contribute towards
the promotion Of peace in Kansas.
Mr.. Seward favored sending the General
there, but thought it ought to be done by
joint resolution, and the preamble to Mr.
CPS resolution should be omitted.
WASHINGTON, June IL.
SENATE-Mr. Bright having returned Mr.
Stuart resigned the Office of President lro
tem., and Mr.. Bright was reelected. He
made short address, citing precedents to
show that in comforting the appointment on
Mr.. Stewart, he did not intend to use an
authority not conferred and which had not
heretofore been exercised in similar cases.
The chair then laid before the Senate the
resolutions of the commonwealth Of Massa-
chusetts in regard to the assault on Sumner
and they We're read. ia.f
Mr.. Butler said they contained foregone
conclusion because they pronounced judge
ment before the subject had been investigat-
ed. he called it an insulting mockery on
the Legislature to ask them to act upon it
after passing judgement He would say no
more now but moved to lay them on the
table-agreed to.
HoUsE.-Thc Speaker laid before the
House the message from the President in
| regard to the resolution calling for informa-
tion relative to privatecring by the powers
of Europe thereon, saying that Information
in regard to the matter had been officially
communicated TO this government.

The Kansas Commission, Messrs. Howard
and Sherman, and their officers, Messrs.
Hanscomb, Lord, Townsend and Upham, ar
rived here this evening on the Polar Star.
and will leave for the East tomorrow.
They report Kansas to be in a very criti-
cal condition at the present moment. When
they left large numbers of Missourians were
pouring into the Territory determined on
fighting. The Free State men were muster
ing, aud equally anxious for battle.
ST. LOUIS, June 13.
The officers of the steamer Polar Star
which arrived from the Missouri river last
evening, and brought down the Investigat-
ing Committee, furnish our papers with late
Kansas news. They state that affairs in the
Territory have reached that extreme crisis
which must speedily result in the supremacy
of one party or the determination of the
other by a general fight, unless the presence
of the United States troops should be suffi-
cient to avert such calamity.
1t was reported that there were about four
hundred men on each side in the vicinity of
Hickory Point, and Tuesday, the 10th, was
the day fixed upon by general consent for
the fight,
One hundred and thirty men marched
through Westport on Monday to Join the
pro-slavery forces at Hickory Point.
Shannon was at Kansas City but would
Immediately proceed to Leavenworth and ex-
ert himself to restore order. On the author
ity of Maj. Oliver, Shannon would issue
proclamation on Wednesday, the 18th, re-
quiring the U. S. troops to disband and dis
arm all companies of armed men, wherever
found, and in case of refusal, giving the
officers discretionary power to fire upon
them.
Eight companies Of troops are now in the
Territory, and it is reliably stated that
Shannon would order out those remaining at
Forts Leayenworth and Riley, and proceed
personally with them to restore order in the
Territory.
A letter in the Democrat says that the
town of Osawatomie was sacked on the 9th
by party of pro-slavery men, who stole
horses and took away every thing available,
even, to the ear and finger rings of the
women.
Col. Sumner had disbanded force of Free
State men in the neighborhood of Palmyra.
The Council at Leavenworth, which has
been driving the Free State men out of the
Territory, has been dissolved by Col. Sum-
ner.
The Polar Star brought down George
Smith, delegate to Congress elected by the
Utah Territorial Convention Of last March,
who is en- route for Washington with the
Constitution adopted by that body, and a
memorial praying for the admission of the
new State of Deseret. Mr.. Smith is cousin
of the yeritable Joseph.

RR1r1sH INTEREST IN SLAvERY.-At a

RR1r1sH INTEREST IN SLAvERY.-At a
recent meeting Of the British Association
for the Advancement of Science, Mr..
Dawson read an interesting paper on cot
ton. II consisted of a series of PROPOSE
tons. of which the following is short
resume:
1. That cotton, from the conditions OF
climate necessary to its culture, cannot be
grown in Europe, but that, with the single
and not important exception oftbe factories
in the New England States of America.
| it is and must long continue to be manu-
featured almost exclusively in Europe. 2.
That the present supply is chiefly raised,
and for the present must continue to be
raised, by slave labor-seeing that while
for so years we have sought over the
whole earth for cotton, we have during
that time continued to obtain from the
Slave States Of the American Union con-
tinually increasing proportion OF our entire
supply. 8. That two-thirds in number at
least of the slave population Of the United
States have been called into existence,
and are now directly or indirectly main
tanned for the supply ofcotton for exporta-
ton. 4. That of the cotton thus exported,
three tourths at least in value are raised
tor and sent to this country alone. And,
5. That of the entire quantity we import.
tour. fifihs at least in value are thus de.
rived from the United States. Each pro-
position was supported by tabular accounts
extracted from the public records of this
country and the United States, and the
conclusion was expressed thus -" That
hence in the present state Of the CONNER
cial relations of the two countries, the
cotton planters of the United States are
interested to the extent of two-thirds at
least Of their entire exportable produce in
the maintenance Of the cotton manufacture
Of the United Kingdom, and that recipro.
cally the cotton manufactures ofthe United
Kingdom, and through them the entire
population Of the Kingdom, are interested,
to the extent Of more than four. fifths of the
raw material of that manufacture, in the
existing arrangements for maintaining the
cotton culture Of the United States"

HoRR1.1r DEATH FROM HYDRoPHoBIA.

HoRR1BLE DEATH FROM HYDRoPHoBIA.
A correspondent of the Toronto Colonis'
gives the particulars Of the death from
hydrophobia of Mr.. William Hughes, a
farmer, in the township of King, Canada
West:
Deceased was bitten by his own dog,
while in the harvest field, on the 18th Of
August last, on his arm, face, and other
paris of his body, the animal being in a
rabid state. The dog was instantly des-
troyed, and medical aid called in. Since
then the wounds have been healed, and
Hughes was able to be about.
On Sunday evening last, while at his
tea, he suddenly felt that he could moi
drink. and thought that he had taken cold.
His medical adviser was called in on
Monday morning, and everything was
done for him that was possible, but he
grew gradually worse. and during the last
twenty. -four hours of his existence he was
perfectly furious, He died at o'clock on
"Wednesday afternoon. DR.. Duncomb, Of
Richmondhill, was constantly in atten-
dance on him, assisted by DR.. Mortimer,
Of Aurora, but all their exertions and skill
were insufficient to remove the dreadful
malady.
DIR. Duncomb states that rigid spasms
came at intervals-that when liquid of any
kind was within sight he became con.
vulsed; when he became worse he barked
and made noise exactly as dog would.
Several neighbors were there ; they were
compelled to tie him down in his bed, or
lie would have done serious damage to
persons about and to himself. He made
will before he was taken i'll, after having
been bitten.

The PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. = In
reference to the newspapers and the ap.

To enable the newspaper press of the
Union to declare the result on the follow.
ing morning. il will be necessary for the
inspectors Of election throughout the
United States to aid the telegraphic opera.
tors, and for the telegraphic operators to
aid the editors, in every town, village and
city, and the editors and reporters to aid
each other. This can be done by confin.
ing their labors on the night Of the election
10 the Presidential vote alone. Let the
telegraphic operators transmit the Presi.
Dental vote only on that night. This
plan will enable the press to announce
the result on the morning after the cleo.
ton, even if the contest be close one.
We hope this plan will be adopted; no
other will succeed. II will simplify the
