the estimates assume that every dollar Of the
appropriation not only the present but past years
will be requtredfor the fiscal year of 1859 and 60
He shows that estimates are framed, and exhib
it deficiency, for it is impossible that all these
appropriations can be laid out within year, yet
further to force deficiency, the surveys of pub
lie lands were not offered, as ii was the duty ofthe
government to offer them for sale. Had the pro-
ceeds of the 900 900 or So 900 900 acres of sur
veyed lands, been brought into the Treasury
there would not have been one dollar of defcien-
cy. Were the expenditures reduced within pro-
per limits, there would be no deficiency. But in
stead Of these retrenehments, the expenses are
swelled into extravaganee, to create a deficiency
in the estimates Of 1860, which is said to be ine-
vitable.
Mr.. Toombs spoke further in the same strain,
after which the subject was postponed.
Mr. Hunter attempted to bring up the consular
and diplomatic bill.
Mr.. Slidell was equally anxious to have up the
Cuban question.
A heightened discussion ensued, in which the
leading Republican Senators expressed themselves
against taking up the latter, though ready at any
time when required to discuss all its bearings
The Cuban bill was fually taken up, 81 against 49,
when MIR. Sideh by consent made testal corree-
ton Of the clause of the bill providing for per
cent bonds payable seni-annually.
Mr.. Do0ittle made some remarks, and offered
substitute appropriatnR $50 600 900 to enable the
President to purchase Yucatan Central or South

FROM WASHINGTON.

NEW York, Feb. 9.
The Navy Department is in recent of official
news from Com. Totten, of the u s. sloop. of war
Vincennes, giving the details of an alleged Brit
sh outrage upon an American vessel on the coast
of Africa. The substance of the news is, that the
American brig Rufus SOule, from MeIanzas, while
on the coast, was boarded on the llth of October,
by her Majesty's steamer Viper, searched and then
burned.
The correspondence between Com. Totten and
the Captain Of the Viper showed that at the time
the alleged outrage was committed the Rufus Soule
had the American flag flying, but that the Captain
threw his papers overheard when called upon to
show them.
The capture of the Rufus Soule has been before
reported.
The Senate Post Office Committee has agreed to
authorize the contract for carrying the California
mail over the Panama and Tehuantepec routes
Also TO let the ocean service on all three of the

moth transatlantic steamer project.
Senator Fitch will tomorrow take preliminary
steps to introduce bill directing the adoption Of
iron ships and iron buildings by the National Gov
ernment, and the use Of American iron in ali public
works.
The Military Committee of the House to day re-
C ived communication from the Secretary of War
in response to an inquiry whether it is not practea-
Bile to reduce expenses in transportation to remote
military points
Secretary Floyd says reduction would be prac-
tcable were it not for the demands ank threats of
members of Congress.
