RUFFTANLY ASSAULT on TIE COMHIS-
SIONER OF EMIGRATION

To the Editor Of The ". J. Tribune.
SIR: This morning entering Castle Garden was
DELAYED few minutes by the momentary absence OF
the dooIkeeper from his post A crowd of runners
were about who commenced an assault on me, one
hitting me in the face with his fist, knocking Off my
spectacles and breaking them. Before my knocks
could be heard in the building the ruian had escaped,
the others standing round insulting me by words and
Obscene gestures.
| wonder when the Police of the First Ward will
be made to be at hand where rufiians go rampant.
Knowing the villany Of the latter from having gone
through similar scene of attack the Sd of August,
have generally gone armed since, but the scarcity 'i
arrivals of passenger vessels lately has induced me to
leave nv revolver at home thinking there would be
protection enough without it. | have found out my
error to my cost, and shall have to go armed again,
though would much rather feel the protection usu-
ally offered citizens Of civilized cities.

XXXIVTH CON G. r ES s.
FIRST SESSION.
SENATE. ..WAsHISG1oY, Feb. 2s, 1851

SENATE. .WASHIsGToN, Feb. 2s 1856.
Mr.. TOOMBS offered a resolution (which lies over,
calling on the Secretary Of the Navy to furnish the
causes and charges specifically set forth by the Naval
Board for the removal disrating Of naval officers.
Mr.. WELLER repnted bill making appropriations
for Notifications.
nicatng the official documents the British enlist
ment cases. Six thousand extra copies were ordered
printed
adopted requesting the President TO inform the Senate
whether an offer made by Great Britain TO this
Government to arbltrate by means of some friendly
power the differences regarding the construction Of the
Clayton Buwer treaty, and to transmit any cores
pODdence touching the proposed arbitration.
Mr.. MASON remarked that on a former occasion
be stated that it his impression such offer had
been made, but probably some suggestion OF such
character had been thrown out incidentally or unot-
hcialy 70 our Minister. The British Government,
through It's official organ, has announced that such an
offer had been made, but not having been accepted,
would be renewed. 1t was therefore important that
the true state Of the case should be made known.
Mr.. HALE denied the truth Of the statement Of
Mr. TOucey-that il was impossible for the President
10 take another than be had regarding Kansas
affairs without the abandonment of his constitutional
duty. Mr. Hale insisted that the President had been
derelict in his duty in not protecting the bona file
settlers Of Kansas in the exercise Of their rights The
condition of things there was such as to justify and
emand the Presidents interference. He proceeded
show by reading quotations from the speeches of
Snators that those who voted for the Kansas-Ne
brsska Bill passed il the ground that it great
measure of Freedom, and stated that the Presidents
onyersatOn with Jeu Clements declared a similar
spfiment. When resistance was made at Boston TO
he return of a fugitive slave, the President tea-
Uspbed to the Federal officers to incur any expense
cessary to execute the law; but when white men of
Kansas were resisted in the exercise of their cOnsttu
6Opal rights we were told that the President had
Iuthority 10 interfere. Was not the freedom of suf
hage rs important the ownership of slave. He
bowed that the Democracy of NewIIampshre of

ysed to the extension of Slavery territory now

and motion, as well as in every strain. from the
beginning to the end. These two parts coming
almost Dext to each other, showed the compass Of
her powers, reaching from the airiest Of comedy
to the darkest OF tragedy and equally marvellous in
both. 1t is said by some critics that she has 10
genius and that what she does is hut the result of
consummste art II may be go; but IL 30, il is the
very best imitation of genius ever happened to
meet with. That she has been pains-taking in the
highest degree is to be seen in her acting well
as in her astonishing vOcalizatiOn. But there must
have been an original material OF mind az well as
Of organization, out of the common, TO be capa-
bic Of being worked up TO this per-
fectiOD. I happened to be present at her
first appearance in the country, at the Academy
in RI siDa to balfa house, and well remember the
furore she excited. An habituf Of the opera told
me that that half house raised greater tempest
Of applause than any full one he mad seen there.
She will always be a sure card here, / will proph-
esy. / understand that Boston has contributed
another member TO the troupe in addition 10 Miss
Hensler, in Miss Adelaide Phillips, of whom
spoke in former letter, who has been engaged
in the place Of Ddiee, who has TO retire inyslided
She has every claim to succeed that an amiable
and excellent private character, in addition to an
extraordinary organ, most carefully cultivated,
ard familiarity with the stage from childhood can
give her and trust she will meet with all success
On the same night that the Boston Theater over
flowed, on the last night OF the Opera, the Music
Hall was also crammed to sufocatiOn to hear Mr.
Everett deliver his Grafton on the Birthday of
Washington. 1t might be said of him as some
said of Madame LaGrange, that his effort was the
most cOnsummste fruit of art-the very best imi
tatOn of elOquence that rhetoric and labor could
furnish. But you have read it, or may. The most
surprising thing about it is that Mr.. Webster is
only once mentioned 10 it. Can this be symptom
attic Of an abatementin the vrulence of the Boston
mania My chemical experience as to this dis
temper makes me slow to decide hastily on any
change in it's diag gnosis; but | shall watch its
progress carefully and issue bulletins from time to
time. You will observe that Mr.. Everett has
been invited to redeiver this Grafton at Richmond,
Virginia Is there any connection, think ye be-
tween these demonstrations and the next Presi-
dental Election Tbs sudden revival of the
worship of Washington is, we all know, part and
parcel of Known nottingham, and is all aimed at
the polls. Does the remnant of the Wings now
mourning in secret places, mean to join in with
the Know -NOthiDgs, now that Mr. Fillmore is
nominated ard is there any possibility of Massa-
chusetts furnishing another Secretary of State
But these are things above my capacity, and vail
my face in their presence. BYLES.
