 Resolved, That the Speaker cause to be printed and posted one hundred bills, announcing the 9th of January, 1859
 MT. Abrey-I move to put that resolution on the table.
 Mir. P,tt-Mr. Speaker, the House passed resolutions, sir, to celebrate, in an appropriate manner, the 8th of January. This is resoln- . ton simply asking that notice be given to the public of that day We have declared an in. tentlon, and when we come to publish it, some gentleman is suddenly seized with the re- trcnctment gripcs," and squirms around like d long red worm on piu hook. Laughter. Gentiemen keep continually talking about econstay. l, myself, do not believe in tying the pubie purse with cobweb strings, but when retrenctl,iAzlt comes in contact with patriotism it assumes tAe form of smallness." Such economy is like that of Old Skin1nt, who had pair of boots made for his little boy without soles, that they might last the longer. (Laughter.)
 reverence the day we celebrate" It is fraught with "reminiscences the most stirring l; it brings to mind one of the greatest events ever recorded in letters of living fire upon the walls of the temple of fame by the strong right arn of the god of war On such occasions we should rise above party lines and political distinctions. never fought under the banner of Old Hickory, but "by the etcrnap wish l had. Laughter and appIause.) If the old war horse was here now he would not know his own children from the side of Josepil's coat of many colors-Whigs, Know-NothingS.

(Hreat laughter
 Gentlemen let us show our liberality on pat riotic occasions. Why, some nen have no more patriotism than you could stuff in the eye of knitting needle. Let us not squeeze five cents till the eagle on it squeals like loeomo- tive or an old maid. Let us print the bills and infarm the country that we are as full of patri- otisea as are Illinois swalnps of tadpole>. &Laugilter.) do not believe in doing things by haixes. Permit me, Mir.

THn SKATING cAns1vAI.--Yesterday afternoon

TIE SKATING CARsIvAL--Yesterday afternoon there were from 40O0 to 5000 persons on the ice, the number of ladies in proportion the sterner being increased at about the ratio which has been observable as the urore has gained strength n the city. To add to the attractions of the scene and place, Colts Band, from high platform. discoursed their choicest music to the crowd. Colts Guards, too. were there, having first paraded the streets. and, stacking their muskets on the east bank, they put on their skates and mingled with the crowd. After which they formed in line and were 'put through dress parade. As the crowd waxet thicker and more enthusiastic the-e came booming over the ice from the yard of Woodruff 6 Beach's foundry the long report of a cannon and the firing was kept up for an hour two. Nothing ever was seen equal to the excitement and wild pleasure of the scene: nothing was ever known in this city be- fore which called out such crowds of all sorts and conditions of men and women. The beaver hats and Balmorals were on the ice again, and attracted universal attention and admiration
 lin the forenoon colcred man named Wm. Free man undertook the task of picking up 100 potatoes at three feet distance, each from each in line. to be done in thirty minutes and the potatoes deposit ~ feat in forty.fv minutes.
 In the afternoon, dance was improvised upon the ice to the music Of band, number of ladies and gentlemen participating
 The nuisance of teams in the crowd greater than upon any previous occasion, and the danger to life and limb was considerable; one sleigh broke through the ice at the foot of State street. close to the shore, and though the horse got safely out the ths and some portion of the harness were bro- ken. It is great pity that those who go upon the ice with teams will not keep out of the way of the skaters. Not only one horse wagons and sleighs were to be in the midst of the crowd yesterday but number of hacks were also present.
 In ournotices. heretofore, of the numbers on the ice we have been accused of making the figures too small. It is said by good judges that there were a least 6O0O persons the river yesterday afterno and probably more. Well, there may have been, and know that they all enjoyed it, whatever the number A storm is coming to spoil the fun for the present, and we advise our friends to "catchh pea sure as it flies.

sickIes; As.assination OF Key.


The papers give the following particulars
of the meeting between Sickles and Key, in
which the latter was shot:
About two o'clock in the afternoon, Mr.!
Sickles proceeded from his residence near
the Presidents house, to the Southeast cor
ner of Lafayette Square, in the same neigh
borhood, where Key was engaged in con-
versation with Mr.. Butterworth of New York
He charged Key with having dishonored
him and destroyed his domestic peace, and
Immediately shot him with revolver, one
of the balls entering the left side of the body
and passing through the corresponding
point on the opposite side, lodging under
the skin. Another shot took effect in the
right thigh, near the main artery.
Key, in falling, implored Sickles not tc
kill him. The third shot was in the right
side, CHANGING from the body and bruising
it, of which wounds death ensued in few
moments. The body was taken intothe Ma
tional Club House.
The Coroner Immediately summoned q
jury, and the inquest was held for several
hours. A verdict was rendered, merely
stating that the death was caused from the
effects of pistol shots, as above stated, fired
by Hon. Daniel E. Sickles
After Mr.. Sickles had killed Key, he re-
paired to the residence of Attorney Genera
Black, where he was advised tie deliver him
self into the hands of the officers, who sub
sequently conveyed him to Jail. to which he
was committed.
