NAPOLEON OFF THE TRACK.-An .'event" In
Paris, was an accident that befel the Emperor,
which is related this wise:
THE Emperor invited on Friday, the seven
Marshsls present n Paris to T. ee. him at st Cloud
After breakfast be made a trial of the small rail-
way which runs from ST. Cloud to Vilenuye rEt-
aag, which is intended to convey troops on cam.
paign The Marshals present were Reille, Vail
jant, Magnan, paraguay, dHiers, Pelisier, Can-
robert and Bosqust. The experiment was, howe
yer, near terminating seriously for all parties -
There was no locomotive, but the wagon which
goes down the slope by its own momentum as on
the descent at St Germain, soon acquired vslo-
city which the breaks could not stop number
of Peasants who were at work in the fields. or who
were attracted by curiosity, uttered cries of alarm
at seeing the danger. Fortunately the wagon
rushed into plougbed field where 1t was broug ght
up. Anticipating the rumors that would follow,
the Emperor walked about st. Cloud during the
day. and went to The Vaudeville in the evening.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP ATLAl


The steamship Atlantic, Capt. Smith, arrived yes
terday from Brazos Santiago via Galveston, bringing
papers from the latter place up to the sth.
The News Of that date says:
We learn that bill of ladiDg for cargo of railroad
iron and materials for the Galveston, Houston and
Henderson Railroad, has just been received in this

also learn that TWO passenger cars were purchased and

The editor Of the News has seen tremendous tnr-
nip, measuring thirteen inches in circumference and

The Houston Telegraph of the I'd inst furnishes the
report OF the Finance Committee of the corporation of
Houston from which we learn that the total cost of
the Tap road to that date was about S12lS00 for
seven miles, Or 1900 dollars per mile The receipts
for the month Of December are given as about s604
and the current expenses as $500. The committee
express the opinion that the further extension of the
Harrisburg Railroad will greatly increase the receipts
as compared with the expenses The further extern
sion of the Tap road to the Brazos river is expected
to make it remuneratve.
The Odd Fellows of Austin were to celebrate their
anniversary the 9Th inst by procession addresses
etc. They were also to have reunion" (which
we suppose, means ball, on the 9Th.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s, 1857-S -Senate.-Mr Butler,
from the Judiciary Committee TO whom had been re.
ferred the credentials Of Mr. Harlan and the protest
of the Senate Of Iowa against the validity OF bis
election reported that the committee had had several
meetings. and had given the subject careful consdera~
tlon but had not been able to agree unanimously.
He had been instructed by the majority Of the com
mitteee to submit report in writing adverse to Mi.
Harlans claim, and accompanied by resolution de-
cla1ng his seat vacant. Mr.. Toombs gave notice Of
his intention to submit minority report Mr.. Harlan
desired to have the question disposed Of as soon as
convenient and both reports were ordered TO be
printed with the understanding that, being question
of privilege, it will be taken up at an early day.
After the usual morning business, the Senate re-
su1ed the consideration Of the special order; being
the House bill to provide for the settlement Of the
claims Of the officers Of the revolutionary army, and
Of the widows and orphan children of those who died
in the service Without taking action, the Senate
adjourned.
House.-A resolution was adopted calling upon
the President for information as to the authority by
which government architect is employed and paid
for designing and erecting all public buildings. The
House refused to suspend the rules so as to enable the
Committee on Military Affairs to report the bill to
increase the pay of the officers Of the army-yeas
115, nays 65 The House also refused to suspend the
rules in order that resolution could be received
fixing the 14th day of January next for the consideEa
ton of the bill for the benefit of the Pacific Railroad
Company-yeas 10, nays l05. The resolution an-
thorzing the Secretary of the State and the Secre

BRAzIL.-The Empire Of Brazil possesses rich and
varied resources. All the precious woods abound in
Brazil. Rosewood is common, and is used to build
pigpens half the palm trees are there the Victoria
Regia and aromatic herbs abound. Precious stones
and useful minerals are found and the ground is so
rich that the value of single years crop of coffee
exceeded the yield of the diamond mines for eighty
years. the coffee exported from Rio in 1851 being
worth S. 900, 900 sterling.
Brazil covers an area Of 5000 900 square miles
larger than the United States by two States like Indi-
ana; water abouuds everywhere, and the Amazon il
rigates a surface equal to twothrds Of Europe It
has great fertility, good irrigation and saubrity of
climate, caused, according to Lieut.. Maury, by the
trade winds and general elevation Its population is
100000 consisting of Indians, Portuguese and
Americans of whom 100000 are whites. Slavery
is gradually growing extinct, and it will not exist
twenty years longer, owing to the introduction of
German coonists, and the superiority Of free laber
over slave labor.
Brazil in 1855 sent to the United States S20000,-
900 worth of produce. The English government en-
Joy an advantage, by having established line of
steamers and have secured the entrance of goods on
more favorable terms, by forced treaties, than any
other nation.

The Caddo Gazette, of the Sd inst, says
The examination of Jas. NcLeland, clerk Of the
Belle Gates, charged with purloining the IS 900 be-
longing to Messrs. Dunn & Yates, mention of which
was made in last issue, commenced on Friday the
26th Dec before Jonas Robeson, j. P, and continued
over to Saturday, when be was discharged for want
of testimony. The case of Captain NeWson was then
taken up, which resulted in bis discharge also for
want of testimony. The affidavit against McLeiand
was made by the captain after be himself had been
arrested. We have heard no one express the belief
that McLeland is guilty. =
Captain Newson was again arrested on last We'd
nesday: at the instance, we believe, of the clerk
but after examination which was protracted to the
following day he was discharged, no facts having
been brought to light to justify his detention.
