Mr. Banks of Massachusetts, to conduct Mr. Orr to the
chair which they did; when the oath administered
to him by Mr.. Giddings, the oldest member present.
Mr.. Orr then spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, thank
you for the honor you have conferred upon in elect
ing to preside your deliberations. The delicate
and responsible duties of the Chair will be comparatively
light if shall be so fortunate as doubtless will be- to
secure your cordial cooperation in the despatch of the
business of the House. in maintaining its dignity, and
preserving its ecorum The rules which you may adopt
for your government shall seek to administer firmly
faithfully and impartiay The great interests confded
to by the people of this confederacy admonsh to
cultivate patriotism pansve the republic itself
aud cherish the ardent hope that public duties
here may be discharged in such manner as to promote
the interests and the happiness of the people, to uphold
the constitution, maintain the Union in its integrity,
quicken the prosperity of the States of the Union and
build up the greatness and the glory of our common

A committee appointed, the part of the House,
to join with committee the part of the Senate, to
wait the President and inform him of the organiza-
ton of both Houses and their readiness to receive any
communication he may be pleased to make.
The House adjourned until II o'clock On Tuesday
The organization to have been very handsomely
and quietly effected. The Union says that Mr.. Orr,
the Speaker elect, is in his thrtysixth year. We had
thought him Older and still have some doubts about
it. He is gentleman of TACT promptncss and ability
and will make good Speaker
The great bone of contention still remaining is the
public printing. Members openly denounce Wendell,
the present printer as corrupt and say that if he is the
nominee of the Democratic caucus, they will bolt

neA9 A few years ago, there man in Boston
named Tuckerman, quite leader of fashon-a man of
fast horses and great financial ability so great that
they made him Treasurer of the Eastern Railroad
Company and then he went faster than ever But after
a while these rare and difficult times began to be
about, and people lost the "grande confidence and
took to looking little closer into things, and they found
that the great and fashionable Tuckerman had been
ryng the game little too ar-he had been embezzlng
the funds of the Company in most magnificent way.
Well, Tuckermann taken up and brought before
the courts and got out ball. while his lawyers carried
the case from one court to another, with probability
of smothering it up until the thing had blown
OVER But then the lawyers must have money to
keep them going, and, although Tuckerman had
stolen magnifcenty, he had also spent magnifcenty.
and his money out and the could not be carried
on much longer. Then the man of genius became ap
parent-hs resources developed themselves. He de-
termined to raise the wind Like Dick Turpin he took
to the road.
He took to travelling between New York and Boston
on Saturday nights when no agent accompanied the
mas-to going into the car where the bags were, for
the purpose of smokng-then he slid out the bags Or
such he thought best, and took the contents, to
keep the wheels of justice moving He did this Tor
weeks but at last got caught. Ingenious but unortu
nate Tuckerman.

Want of Confidence.

The deranged state of trade is producing anomalous
results. Formerly, the expectation of specie from one
country to another indicated that exchange was against
the country sending out the specie for otherwise, bills
drawn against produce would be bought and forwarded
as the more convenient and satisfactory remittance
Then specie went like the tide, all one way just as the
current might be setting for the time Now the case is
different No man cares to buy bill upon Europe for
the purpose of making remittance, since the house
upon which it is drawn may have failed before the bill
can be presented and paid the other side So we see
vessel arriving at New York to-day with specie from
Liverpool while another vessel sails tomorrow from n
York, carrying specie back to Liverpool.
The same is the case with produce. No man cares
for purchasing for Shipment since he does not know to
whom it is safe to ship Stagnation is the result and
must continue to be so for some time to come

HABEAs CORPUS CASE Yesterday forenoon, His
Honor Judge Person, had Elizabeth Post free woman
of color brought before him writ of habeas corpus
the facts us we learn them, being that Elizabeth was
sod or hired out for term of years. by the court of
Cumberland county, and her term, the balance of
was assigned by the original hirer Or purchaser, to
James Bryant of Bladen county. Day before yester-
day. said Bryant brought the woman down to Whining
ton on board one of the steamboats, the Cape Fear
and during the passage down. she overheard some con
versaton leading her TO believe that it designed to
carry her out of the State with the supposed of
holding her slave On a representation of the facts
to His Honor he issued writ for the production of
the woman, when upon examination Of the case
it appeared beyond question that she free woman
and she was consequently set at liberty. We believe
she was found on board the Manchester cars No one
appeared to contest her claim

Bag~ We have examined the details of the news
brought by the America but find little or nothing of in
terest in addition to that already published The fact
that the eminent banking house of Peabody & Co., was
forced to call upon the Bank of England for advance
to the amount of million sterling, shows the extent Of
the pressure occasioned by the failure ofremances from
this side
English funds still continue to improve, aforCng
symptom of revving confidence.
The English papers, on cooler examination of the
India news take less sangune view of affairs than they
did on the first receipt of the intelligence of the fall of
Delhi 1t is true that Delhi is in the hands of the
British but ats garrison as not. 1t is true that Luck
now has been relieved but the sege has not been raised
1t is still surrounded by the Sepoys, and Havelock
himself is in danger.
The fact is that the rebel forces are comparatively
ubroken, and have the power of numbers and organz
ton sufficient to bid defiance to the present forces of the
British Government in India The fresh troops from
Europe cannot have reached the theatre Of the disturb
before the present date, when the reconquest Of
the provinces of Central India will have to be entered
upon.
Some disturbances had been threatened in the manu-
featuring districts in England, but as yet no overt act
had been committed
The abortive attempts to launch the steamship Leria
lhan Great Eastern, have cost three hundred
thousand dollars
