WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Feb. 10, 1853.
L IRE House was occupied all day with lively de-
,,ts on the bill amending the steamboat law, re-
oonsd BY Mr.. Washburne of Illinois. Mr.. Letcher
n Virginia opposed it for Constitutional reasons,
,ecsuse il limits the number Of passengers and in
eresses the number of lfe-boats on ocean steamers
The impression prevails that Mr.. Speaker Orr
yiu give the Lecomptonites one majority on the
elect Kansas Committee. Mr.. Harris will be
Chairman, and l believe that Messrs. Howard,
Bughes, Haskin, Cox, Tappan, Grow, Stephens,
tcher and ClDgman will be members. The Lee
rompton Democrats called caucus for this even
i1s, but finding that they were not likely to get a
orum, postponed it till Saturday.
Gen. Calhoun has private telegram from Kan
ias to the effect that his clerks besieged in his
t6ce, and have forty stand of arms for defense.
He sdmits openly that the Free-State Legislature
ielected. The President deems it good policy to
bke this course.
Secretary Stanton's Philadelphia speech has made
sensation here Anti-Lecompton members are
absorbing for pamphlet copies by the thousand.
The Star has a solemn and terrible article an
punciDg sem-oficially ss Bigler would say, the
Immediate dissolution of the Union, in case Le-
,ompton does not pass. Not ten Southern repre-
s,ntatives would, in that event, remain day Ion
ser in Congress. Those at the North who have
property. the value of which will be destroyed in
tbe destruction of the Confederacy are kindly
wa1ned TO beware. The article is intended for the
Northern Democratic market. Everybody here
laughs at it.

nick vs. Manney involving 5000, 200, was opened
4, the Supreme Court to-day by Messrs. Dickinson
Reyerdy johnson, and other eminent counsel on
both sides are to follow.
Mr.. Douglas was again voted down to-day in his
sHort to take up the Kansas resolution of inquiry,
ter being several times called to order by Messrs
Davis and Mason. 1t is their manifest purpose to
lragoon him into submission.
Mr.. Burns of Ohio is to get carte blanche for all
he appointments in his District in consideration OF
his recent vote.
Mr.. Douglas is determined to postpone the paas-
sage of LecomptOn through the Senate for months,
if coercion is attempted by the majority.
The Democratic caucus, advertised for this
evening, has been postponed till Saturday night.
The party is much exercised.

of cotton This cotton is the result of experiments made
by Mr. Clcgg, Of Manchester. Having tested the
pacy of Africa to produce the article he resolved how

several negroes and, when taught how to prepare the
vegetable wool for market, he sent them home with
