WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.
The Herald's correspondent says that let
ters to the Navy Department from the Com
mander of the frigate Wabash and Beyrout,
state that no efforts had been made by the
authorities there to bring to trial the authors
of the outrage upon the American family at
Jaffra The commander had informed the
President he should insist upon their immedi
ate trial Notwithstanding the wish had been
captured. The Pasha evinced a disposition
to do jusice.
The Times correspondent says The re-
port of difficulty having occurred between
Beale's exploring party and the Indians, has
proved to have been false. Mr. Edwards,
Lieut. Beale's brother-in-law, now here, left
the party Nov. 10th, 250 miles west of Fort
Smith, up to which point they had prosecut-
ed their duties without interruption.
Chief Justice Eckles, of Utah, is in Wash
ington for the purpose of comforting with the
Administration relative to the affairs of that
Territory. 1t is understood that he will ear
nestly protest against the proposed opening Of
the public lands there for sale, excepting un-
der such restrictions as shall prevent their
monopoly by the Mormon Church.:
The U. S. treasury statement for the week
ending Monday last, shows the receipts to be
$5O7, 900 drafts paid 1852, 900; and drafts
issued nearly the same amount, leaving bal
lance in the treasury of nearly $6,OOO,OOO, a
reduction of $266,O00 from last week.

Meeting Of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec. G..

On motion of Mr.. Florence, of Pennsylva-
mia, a resolution was adopted, appointing a
committee in conjunction with that of the
Senate, to wait on the President and inform
him that quorum of both Houses had assem-
blcd, and were ready to receive any commu-
nications he may be pleased to make
The daily hour of the session was fixed at
- o'clock.
A proposition to select seats occasiOned
much confusion, but was adopted, and every
seat was vacated, and selections made by
lots.
SENATE.-Fifty Senators answered to the
roll call. The oath of Office was administer

ANOTHER Brass BAND-We learn that the
well known Musicians, Seibert & Wagner,
have taken means to start a good, large, cas-

ments are already made for Musicians to ar

panies and societies taking interest in having
a good band in st. Paul, will please call at

Sixth for particulars. No assistance is want
ed to procure instruments. All they require
is public assistance and patronage.
We had the above in substance handed
in to us day or two since for publication,
and give it a gratutous insertion. We are

ANNIVERSARY MEETING OF THE YoUNG
MEMS CHRISTIAN AssoCIATIoN.-This meet
ing was held on the evening of Thursday the
I'd inst. The exercises consisted Of the hear
ing of the reports of the officers of the Asso-
citation, and an address to the members of the
body, by the Rev. B. Hart, of the Congrega-
tional church in this city.
The report of the Secretary of the Associ-
alton showed, on the whole, an encouraging
state of affairs, though not that full success
of the institution thus far that might be wish
ed. An appeal was made to the Christian
means and enterprise of the city for the en-
coula cement and fur h,rance of the object>
of the Association, and the confident hope was
expressed, that with more harmonious men,
bcrship than heretofore, the Association was
entering upon brighter and more useful
field of labor for the future.
The Treasurers report showed the Associ-
a-.on - be completely free from debt, with a
balance Of :72 in the Treasury.
Tie reports We're followed by an elegant,
carefully prepared and appropriate address by
the Rev. b. Hart. His theme was The Young
-Nta Tie Nations Strength: and was very well
treated, and listened to with marked attention
throughout. The meeting was closed with
the doxology.

TIE RIVER CLOSED UP.-On Thursday
night, just eighteen days after the last boatleft
our levcc, the ice closed up in the river oppo-
site st. Paul. This is longer interval be-
tween the two events than ever before hap
pened, We believe.
Communication between our sister city
across the way is now reinstated, and the riv-
er will, after one or two more of such nights as
the last two, be effectually 6ridged so as to do
q constant business with the other side
1t must be borne in mind that though the
navigation was suspended once temporarily by
gorge of ice, it reopened again, and remain
ed so for over two weeks, and boats could
have come to our levee during all this period
had they been disposed.

GONG INTO THE PINERIEs.-" During the
past fortnight, says the Saltwater Messenger,
we have observed good many teams going
into the pineries with supplies for the winters
numbering campaign. We have heard num-
Der Of well informed lumbermen express the
belief that greater number of men and
teams will be engaged in this important busi-
ness during the present winter, than during
that of the previous year.
The opinion appears to be general that du-
ring the next season the price of lumber must
advance in the southern market to something
near an approximation of former rates; yet
the depression of the market during the past
year, and the failure of down river dealers to
meet their Obligations to operate here, render
heavy operations difficult and embarrassing" !"

CITY ITEMS.

| FATAL RESULT OF SOMNAMBULISM-DISTRE
SING CAsuAMrY.-On Saturday morning
many of our citizens were shocked to learn
that John H. Brownson,- Esq, q lawyer of
| the firm of j. Ii. & w. j. BrownsOn of our
city, and a well known citizen, had been found
dead on the ground beneath one of the win
dows of his office, in the rear of the frame
building on Third street, near Market, terribly
mangled and bruised.
The coroner DR.. J. " Wren summoned a
jury Immediately, and proceeded to hold an
| inquest on the body
The inquest elected the fact that the de-
ceased was addicted to walking in his sleep.
| 1t seems that but week or two before, he
had in this state fallen down the stairs, and
| on being questioned stated he was addicted to
| somnambulism and feared fatal result would
sometime ensue. On Friday evening, at
| late hour he was heard to come into his room,
| build up the fire, and then it is supposed laid
down. in his clothes, as was his custom, upon
lounge where he slept An hour or two
| later, he was heard to get up and open the
| window, and then all was still! 1t must be
| here stated that the building in the rear of
which his office was situated, is two stories
| high on the street, while at the rear" down
| the bluf"-t is some seven or more, at least
a height ete.yaty feet from his window to tho
ground, which still descends declivitously.
1t was down this awful height that the de-
mon of somnambulism led its doomed victim
to plunge, out into the darkness of the night,
| to bound from the frozen ground, and roll
down the snowy bank, crushed, shapeless
mass-to hurry him from the strange and
dangerous sleep of the somnambulist, into the
long unwaking sleep of the dead The jury
returned verdict that deceased came to
his death by leaping from window in the
room in which he slept he being probably in
a state of So,nnambulism"
The watch which the deceased wore was
found on his person, with the hands pointing
to halfpast twelve o'clock. 1t was probably
at this hour that he took the fearful leap
Mr. Brownson was person about forty
years of age, vigorous and well, and on the
evening of his death was busy transacting
business. He stated short time since that
mental excitement rendered him more prone
to the fatal habit Probably the business
which had troubled him in the day time was
an inducing cause to the fatal attack.
Mr.. Brownson was a gentleman of much
ability in his profession, and was thorough
scholar besides. He had travelled much and
was we'll versed in several languages. He also
contributed many able articles to the quar-
ttrly Reriec, edited by his father, Rev. Ores
ties \. Brownson.
Mr.. Brownson was a married man, and at
the time his death was expecting his wife
every day, as she was absent on visit to her
relatives. Sad news indeed will greet her on
her arrival.
His funeral took place yesterday at two
o'clock, from his rooms. 1t was attended by
the members of the bar, and a large concourse
of friends.
