MADRID, June 81, 1857.
The discussion which has arisen in the United
States about the memorial attributed to the Count
of Amanda, growing out Of the remarkable discourse
of the Hon. Caleb Gushing, has been propasated to
Madrid also, and has occupied the attention of cor

the American Legation has, it seems obtained per-
mission at the Palace t. examine specific packages

Passengers who left Leavenwoth on the Polar Star
on Wednesday morning. the LIST inst, report all quiet

ardor of the rowdies. Arrangements were also made
by the Mayor for detachment from the Fort, should
any outside assistance to the rioters from Weston or
other points during the night render it necessary.
A constant firing of small arms was kept up from
the windows and doors Of the corner groceries during
the fore part of the night but considering discretion
the better pat Of vaor they kept their bodies out OF

HUDSON RIVER ITEMS.

LARGE HAUL OF COUNTERFEIT MosEY.-Tw0 men
calling themselves Henry Ford and Alfred Morey were
arrested ON Friday night at Peeksktll by ThOmas
Stephenson agent for the Hudson River Railroad Co.,
and formerly Captain of Police in this city, and VIM.
Hudson, conductor 1t appears that counterfeit y
had been passed on Mr.. Hudson the previous Monday
by these two men, and seeing them stand near the de-
pot at Peekskil he with the assistance of the agent
got the pair into the depot, when Ford drew At

COLUMBIA COUNTY HOUSE BURNED.-The County
House at Client, Columbia Co., destroyed by fire
on Thursday last. The fire broke out in the basement

known. The number Of inmates was about lS0, OF
whom 100 are females. Among these are some 81
classed as lupatics. large proportion, too are In
valids. 1t is remarkable that persisted by the
fire. Their rescue was owing mostly to the presence
of mind Of Mr. Latham, the keeper Of the house, who
entirely elected his interests to their lives.
The entire loss by FIRE and water have not ascer-
tanned, but the insurance is $1,000.
SERIOUS AccIDEET.-Mr. Jas. Warren and his daush-
ter met with serious accident Sunday, at Fshkll,

cracks Of small stone bridge, precpitstng Mr. War
rem, who is an old man. to the ground with such vio-
lepce as to seriously nue his back and hip. His head
was also very much cut and bruised and bled quite
profusey. Miss Warren received several injuries about
the head, but it is hoped that they will not prove 70

Ar~TXTRAOKDINARY FAMILY.

a traveller through Wetzel county, Va,
observed that in almost every precinct there
lived three or four families by the name Of
Morris, and having some anxiety to learn
the extent of the family, made inquiry, and
was directed to the mother Of the whole
tribe for information, having been previous
Iy told that she still lived. though upwards
Of 81 years of age He Intercepted the
good old lady politely and gently, and sue
ceeded in ascertaining that she was the
mother Of twenty-five children, q sons and
4 daughters. She has one hundred and
twcnty-one grand children, one hundred
and eighteen great grand children, and one
great great grand child, all with the ezcep-
ton of five dead, 2 girls and boys) now
living in the reighborhood. One of her
sons has 16 children, one u, and another
II. One Of the girls is the mother Of IL
children, and another is the mother of Is J;
all the rest of them produced between FIVE
and seven. One of the sons, who is now
quite an old man, lives within seven miles
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. but
never saw Railroad track until few days
ago. l.
The father grandfather, ana great-grand-
father of this whole kingdom Of Morrises,
died at the age of77, twenty one years ago.
The twenty-five sons and daughters all lived
to be grown up men and women. We VEN
ture to assert that this universal family
stands without parallel, in point Of fruit
fulness. The old lady was sorry to say
chat two Of she girls were never married,
and .hree Of the boys were similarly unfor-
tunate. They are represented to be quiet,
inoffensive people, entirely free from the
small vices which usually besct humanity ;
there are 10 drunkards i'll the family, and
few of them make use of .profane language.
Their conduct and course of life is invari-
ably characterized by honesty, uprightness
and strict integrity We challenge the

very gratifying, as the Agamemnoa is said

navy, easily making eleven or twelve knots

with their rsek saddles on, which are
not often removed, they stand about eight
feet in height. Their general formation
does not indicate great strength, in which
perhaps, they do not much if at all exceed
the horse but their fitness for the travel
westward, if the result proves heir fteess
at ell. consists lie tLe,s capacity to endure
the want Of food and water They are said
10 be very hardy, manifesting but little
choice in their food, seeming in fact, to
prefer, that in which other quadrupeds find
nut little nutriment, such as twigs, the
leaves Of trees, and even sticks, when press
ed by hunger.
They are very docile, ard are easily
managed. Their gait is slow, but their
stride is greater than that of a horse, being
shout three feet in length, and with steady
travelling they will average b miles per
hour.
