u On the landing of ex- Emperor Solouque'at
Kingston, Jamaica, it appears that some exiled
Haytiens, with exceeding bad taste, grudged his
fallen Majesty the shelter which had been extend.
ed to themselves when in trouble, and that one
OF them went so far as to attempt an assault upon
bis person. 1t is highly probable, had not the
British frigate Melbourne touched at Port eu
P.ince, that Ell ther Solouqne or his Cabinet Min
isters. or perhaps all Of them, would have lost
their lives at the hands Of the excited populace
AS 1t was, the ex- Emperor. his wife and family,
had to be escorted through the streets leading to
the harbor by strong force of English marines,
accompanied by the British and french Consuls
II was proposed by the crowd to fire the house
In which the e1-Ministers were lodged; but
President Geffard having issued soothing proc
lamation, the deposed officials We're permitt, d
to 90 into exile. Soulouque was about to rent a
mansion at Kingston, where his appearance aid
ed perhaps by his cash. had impressed the white
population favorably towards him.

Proceedings Of To-Day.

In TIE SENATE, to-day, Mr.. Hunter, from
the Finance Committee, reported the execu-
tive, legislative, and judicial appropriation
bill.
Mr.. Kennedy, from the District of Columbia
Committee, reported a bill authorizing the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company to ex-
| tend their Washington Branch to some point
on the Eastern Branch of the Potomac on
either of the routes proposed by the Company
in their late memorial; laid over
Mr.. Wade moved to postpone all prior Or
ders, and take up the House Homestead bill.
lie appealed to all friends of the bill to stand
by it until it triumphed or was defeated.
The bill was taken up, (yeas 26, nays 49,
and, having been read, Mr.. Hunter moved to
postpone it and take up the Consular and Dip
lOmatic appropriation bill. The vote on this
melton standing yeas IS, nays %, the Vice
President decided it in the afirmatiye-to take
up tho appropriation bill.
ThequestiOn recurring on Mr.. Puga samend-
| ment to reduce the salaries generally, to abol-
ish part of the Offices, and to change the con-
sular system from salaries to fees
Mr.. Pugh proceeded to address the Senate
at length in favor of the amendment
Mr.. Mason replied at length to Mr.. Pugh
While he agreed with the Senator from Ohio
that the Consular system should be amended
he thought this was not the time to do il, in
connexion with the appropriation bill. He
considered 1T matter that required careful
revision by itself. AS to the adjustment of
diplomatic Offices, he thought the Constitution
lett that matter to the discretion of the Presi-
dent.
In THE House, Mr.. English called up tho
bill regulating postage on newspapers and pc
radicals. lie said reports have been extern
sively circulated by the press that this bill pro-
posed to tax newspaper proprictors for postage
on exchanges. This he denied.
Mr.. f. also explained the provisions of the
bill in detail.
Pending this matter, tho Sergeant alarms
made return Of the warrant for the arrest of
Mr.. John Cassin, Of Philadelphia and an
nounced the presence of Mr.. Cassn in his Gus
tody.
Mr. Haskin then offered the usual resolution
for the arraignment of Mr.. Cassin and his in
tcrrogation; agreed to.
Dir. Cassin then answered in writing and
under oath, that he had got ready to attend in
conformity with the requirements of the In
yesugatDg Committees summons, but was
delayed by the severe illness of a near re,a-
tive; that he had subsequently, started to
Washington voluntarily, before he was aware
OF the issuing of the warrant, and was ready
now to testify before the Committee, &c.
On motion of Mr.. George Taylor, of N. Y,
Mr. CaSsln's excuse was accepted, and he was
discharged from custody.
The postage bill! above referred to was then
parsed without amendment-yeas9 %, nsys II

"'The gray-eyed man Of destiny, can now

CONGREGATIONAL.


In TEE SENATE, yesterday, on the conclusion
Of Mr.. Thompson's (of KY speech
Mr.. Chandler obtained the floor.
The Senate then, after a short executive ses-
sion, adjourned.
In THE House, the Senate bill au thori1ing
the sale Of a lot Of ground in Petersburg, Va,
was passed.
The bill granting public lands to the several
States which may provide colleges for the ben
eft Of agriculture and the mech anics arts, re-
tur ned from the Senate with sundry amend
ments, was, after the amendments were con-
CURED in, passed.
The House then went into Committee of the
Whole, and resumed the consider alton Of the
Senate's amendments to the Indian appropri-
alton bill.
The amendment for transferring the change
of the Indian bureau from the Interior to the
War Department was not agreed to by the COM
mittee, and, together with several others pro-
posed, was rejected by the Hsuse. Adjourned.

tween The Baltimore depot and The Grange and
Alexandria Railroad depot and Aqua Creek.
Not q minute Of time can be gained If that
point be selected-the only possible result
being the advancement of the value of lots in
the town speculation east of the limits of the
Corporation of Washington. The true plan for
the interest of this city, IS we'll as for ex-
pediting the travel, is to authorize the con-
tinuation Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
to Buz1ard's Point for the accommodation Of
the travel by the great Southwestern Rail-
roads, with authority to switch off at a conve-
nient point and run by short branch to the
wharf of the great Southwestern mail line at
the foot of Sixth street. Thus the travel by
both lines will be equally accommodated, and
greater good will result to the future of both
the Sixth and Seventh Wards of Washington
city.
INA NEW CHARACrER.-The intelligent and
usually so fair correspondent of the Philadel-
phia North american, who rarely condescends
to dip his pen in foul water, seems to have got
it there of late by mistake, evidently. His
mares nest is in the fact that the Clerk of the
House has actually paid for 100 hairbrushes
and combs out of the public funds. Now, there
are at least 100 committee rooms, Offices, &c &,
connected with the House, and in each of these,
from time immemorial, Uncle Sam has kept a
hair brush and comb hanging for the use of such
of the 24O members, and 200 employees of the
body, as necessarily frequent them. The pres
ent Clerk has not seen fit, as desperately as the
Treasury is said to be pushed for money, to de-
termne that hereafter honorable members
must, in the purlieus of the Capitol, scratch
their own heads with their own finger nails,
&c.
FACrs AND RUMoRs.-The N. York Herald
says that Senator Gwin purposes introducing
an amendment to the Army appropriation bill,
providing that mounted regiments employed
on the frontier shall be posted across the plains
to California, and convey the overland letter
mail. This can be done by despatching from
post to post three or four men each mail; and
it will save the large outlay now paid for the
transportation Of that mail.
The Army bill, which recently passed the
Senate, cuts eff the brevet pay of Gen Scott,
amounting to near Eve thousand dollars
