FOR THE AMERICAN ORGAN,

Mr. EDIroRi In an article written for the Or
gan by Union" he proposes the name of Hon.
Willard Fillmore, as suitable candidate for the
next Presidency In connection with this worthy
name permit me to mention that of William III.
Allen, LII. D., President of Girard College; a gen
tleman whose private and public virtues, and SUI
perior abilities have commended him to the appro-
baton, and won for him the confidence of many
citizens of this, and the adjoining States. The
administration of the former speaks for ITSELF The
literary attainments and scholarly accomplish
ments, as well as the high patriotism and true
American sentiments, of the latter, meet the
highest wishes of all who desire the perpetuity of
the Union, and feel an interest in its political su-
premacy. Most respectfully

THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.
FIRST SESSION.
SENATE. l
FRIpAY, February /, 1855.
The Senate did not sit to-day.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Samson
Mr.. Triple inquired whether the rule Of the
House required the unfinished business of the pre-
vious day to be commenced anew
The CLERK made no decision, but referred the
question to the House, which decided in the affir-
native, that is, that it be commenced anew.
A motion was then made by Mr.. BoYcE to lay
Mr.. HIcKMAN's plurality resolution on the table.
The ayes and noes were as follows-ayes LOT,
noes 1OS
So the resolution was not laid on the table.
Mr.. L. d. CAMPBELL changed his vote to enable
the friends of the resolution to have direct vote
on it. He changed from the negative to the affirm
alive.
The question was thenput on the passage of Mr..
HICKMAN's resolution.
Ayes, 10S; noes, Ito.
Mr.. L. d. CAMPBELL voted in the negative; so
did Mr.. WHEELER.
Mr.. G. W. JONES offered his resolution declar-
ing Mr.. MoRDEcAI OLIVER Speaker of the House.
The previous question was moved.

The Commercial Convention.

Assembled in the African Church at IL M, yes
terday, and was called to order by Mr.. r. g. Nor
ris, on whose motion, Mr.. Joseph Mayo, the Mayor
of Richmond, was appointed Chairman pro tenn,
lard welcomed the members to the hospitality OF
the city, and Messrs. w. B. Isaacs and j. A. Cor
wardin, Secretaries The roll was called and il
appeared that there we're present nineteen dele
gates representing the States of Maryland, North
Carolina, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, and the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and number of delegates rep
resenting Virginia.
Mr.. r. G. Morris moved the appointment OF a
committee to report permanent organization of
the body; but, before the motion was put, Mr..
Tucker Darlington, of Mecklenburg, Virginia,
moved that the Convention adjourn until twelve
o'clock to-day, Thursday y 80 to allow delegates
from other States who might arrive in the mean
time, to participate in the action on the aubect.
At the suggestion of Mr.. A. Mcdonald, Of
Hampshire, Virginia, and Mr.. Mcfarland, Of this
city, the question Of adjournment was left to the
delegates from beyond the limits Of Virginia, and,
by vote Of III TO s, they decided that the Con-
vention should adjourn until to-day.
From the remarks that fell from members, Il Is
evident that the sparseness Of the delegation from
other States il entirely owing to the inclement
weather and 10 greatly exaggerated reports OF the
small pox in this city. We heartily trust that the
public conyeyances, OF last night and THE morn
ing, may bring in large number Of additional
delegates. Richmond Enquirer.

| Arrivalof the Steamer Arabia--On Week Later
from Europe.
| HALIFAX, Jan. 3I--The Cunard steamer Ara
bia arrived here this evening with Liverpool dates
to Saturday, the 9th instant, being week later.
| The news by this arrival is of great importance.
| The London Times Vienna correspondent tele-
| graphs under date of "Wednesday, the 10th, at 10
A. NJ, that Russia has Internationally accepted
| the propositions Of the German diet.
This was reported to be authentic, and caused
an immense excitement throughout England, but
the government despatch published the next day
put different face upon the affair-being in eff
feet that Russia had only accepted the allies pro-
| posals as basis Of negotiation.
This slightly relaxed public confidence, and less
| sanguine hopes were now entertained Doubts
were expressed that Russia had merely accepted
the proposals to prolong the negotiations and gain
| time.
The above is about the sum of all the news. The
prospect of a speedy return of peace swallowed
up all else.

The steamer Asia arrived out on the 18th. and

Union did not touch at Southampton on her pas

The news of Russias acceptance Of the Allied
propositions caused an immense sensation. The
funds rose per cent, and cotton | farthpg. A
panic also ensued in the other markets
The next day the English Government published
a despatch from Minister Seymour AS foows
= Russia agrees to accept the proposals as a ba

This qualified announcement curbed the excite

merely wants to gain time by deceptive negotia-

il the note was not accepted Internationally before

Count Buol received the document, but mas

than two papers published in this city since
