FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON June s. 1853.
TIE death of Mr.. Henderson Of Texas was by no
means unexpected, for be came here with all the
marks of consumptve in the ~ stages of that
fatal disease, and but little hope was entertained by
those most familiar with its insdious progress.
just at this moment the event itself is most mop
perfume for the public business, as The Senate is
much 10 arrearsge, and it w'uld have been difficult
to bring up the legislative leewsy under the most
favOring circumstances.
The Committee of Foreign Relations in the House
mSy be considered adjourned die for the session,
since the majority resolved not to meet again,
unless specially summoned by the Chairman. This
movement received its inspiration from the White
House, where the most pacific dispositions toward
England are cultivated, notwithstanding the buster
Of organs here and elsewhere, and the hustle OF
preparation, in ordering ships to the Gull That
stage thunder is perfectly understood, and deceives
nobody. Toward Paraguay, and powers OF that
size, the Administration is really beihcOse, and quite
willing TO fire off its big guns; and we have seen
that it was even prepared to pick quarrel with
Mexico aud TO assume a threatening attitude
against Nicaragua and Costa Rica. These courage
Gus demonstrations are quite characteristic, and
serve to enlighten the country as to the war
like predictions of those in power Pruden-
tal considerations have, perhaps, restrained these
heroic gentry from making any formidable hostile
display, so far az Great Britain is concerned.
They felt satisfied she would come down whenever
our preparations against Paraguay were known.
Hence it was deemed most discreet to dismiss the
Committee of the House, fearing, as their blood
was up, some fierce illumination might accidentally
find vent. And this caution was carried still fur
Their; for, when Mr. Bocock attempted to bring in
hi Cor b.o ofy ,cfo nt tan n
war; the House refused to suspend the rules, by
vote of more than two to one.
There is hardly an intention now of taking up the
Indiana election cases at the regular session, and 1t
is proposed to postpone them and mass OF nomina-
tons for an Executive session, which it is now pro-
posed to call immediately atterward.
Little doubt now exists here but that the rumOr
from Augusta of an American vessel having been
fired into and one man killed was got up as stock
jobbiDg operation All inquiries have resulted i'll
the failure to trace it to any responsible source.
Although the teegraphic dispatch received yes-
terday at the War Department contains only the
report which came from Camp Scott. that Gov.
Cumming had been expelled from Salt Lake and
was not on official confirmation of that fact, still
hardly doubt exists as to its authenticity. When
the news first came that the MOrmons had submit
ted it was regarded with extreme suspicion by the
Secretary of War, and while some members OF the
Cabinet rested their faith upon TIE fact
that General Johnston's dispatches made no
mention of any reference by Colonel Kane
as to military preparations by the Mormons.
Still there were other circumstances which con-
spired against that negative speculation. The Off
GERS in Utah have always believed that serious
collision was inevitable. Immediate steps will now
be taken to give the highest efficiency to the ad.
vance movement toward Salt Lake, and the three
regiments of volunteers will be called out whenever
the necessary appropriation shall pass the Senate,
which, by the way is nearly double what is re-
qured, being predicated upon the most liberal eSti
mates of the regular service.
The Treasury statement for the past week ex-
hibits no sign of improvement. OF the S2,7l3,-
$40 al, which are counted az receipts, two millions
and II quarter were obtained from the sale OF the
last batch of Treasury notes The revenue from
customs and lands maintain the usual low average.
