BANDA coroner's inquest was held this morn
ing, at the shanty on the corner Of Twelfth and
G streets, In view Of the body of Bridget Donovsn
q white married woman, Of Irish birth. about 30

story buiiding-No. 457-formeriy wood and
coal ONCE, situated on the northwest corner of
Twelfth and streets. There was evidence of
his having almost daily drank to excess since
they lived there also Of his having beaten her on
several occasions
Some Of the witnesses testified she said to them
that she was suffering from want, also that he
had threatened TO take her life, as there was a
young womap be could get who was worth e4OO.
Donovan treated his wife very badly on Sunday
last, and her sister Mrs. Lee) came in the even

CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1851.
SENATE-Mr Hunter asked and was excused
from serving as Chairman on the Committee of FL
nance. He stating his reason that the political
position of his State was about to be changed Mr.
Polk presented a memorial with signatures, covering
fifteen quires of paper, all wrapped in the American
flag praying the adoption of the Crittenden reSolu-
tons amendments to the constitution. Mr.. Sill
dell moved to take up his resolutions in effect
surfing the President for not sending earlier the
nomination of Mr.. Holt as Secretary of War. The
resolution objected to, but comes up at future
day.
Mr.. Yulee announced the receipt of official in
tegence that his State had seeded and he and his

Mr. Davis announced the secession of Mississippi,
and made speech after which the seeding Sena-
tors and left the hail. first taking leave of their
old associates.
&C. noes Is. Mr.. CrIttendens resolutions were taken
up. MIR. Bgler advocated their passage. He denied
the right OF secession, and also of coercion. Mr.
Cameron endorsed Mr.. Biger's remarks, and, in re-
ply to question from Mr. IverSon, said he would
go farther than Mr.. Bigler had done to save
tne Union. lie Salu coercion was pau remedy Tor
secession, and should be the very last of all.
Mr.. Mason called attention TO some Of Mr. Cam
erons recent votes, for the purpose of showing the
difference between profession and practice.
Mr.. Cameron said the difference between Mr.. Ma
son and himself was, he wanted an excuse to remain
in the Union, while Mr.. Mason wanted an excuse to
go out.
Mr.. Mason responded, and said that he and pos
terity would be deeply grateful to NJ. Cameron or
an excuse to remain i'll.

Debate in the Senate.

We happeKed to be in the Senate chamber YES
tcray in time to hear interesting debate between
Mr.. Avery, Col. Brown, and Gen. Dockery We
regret that not in time to hear the remarks
of Col. Outlaw.
Mr. Avery made one of his mo hope" speeches
He colored all the evils in the Union, but spoke of
none of the evils to be encountered out of it He was
ready for immediate seceSSion-said the Union was
already dssolved-that he had had no hope since
the Charleston Convention, &C. He said also that
he believed that if the State should secede all her
sons would stand by her, not excepting eren the
Staator from Richmond
Mr.. Avery presented his points strongly, but they
were all on one side and ultra dsunion.
Col Brown followed in reply, in his best style
lie met Mr. Avery at every point. lie stated,
among other things, that even at Baltimore he was
assured by the chairman of the New York delesa-
tion that if North Carolina would not withdraw the
Tennessee resolution, guaranteeing all the South
asked, would be passed. He, Col B., had with
drawn with others because Of the refusal to admit
certain Southern dclegations-not because he had
lost all hope of justice at the hands of the Northern
Democracy. Col. B. showed that the great error,
winch leu u tue uSrupIlon OIL the party ana the
election of Lincoln committed at Charleston BY
the seven cotton States seeding from the Cenven-
ton, and refusing to return after they had been
sgrcd that the Tennessee resolution could be passed
Col. B. appealed for time in behalf of those noble
hearted conservatives in the North who are laborng
Ia settle the slavery question on terms Just towards
the South; and he believed that Virginia would not
act preccpitatey, but would exhaust all honorable
means in the Union to preserve and reconstruct the
Union.
Our opinion is that Mr.. Avery lost hope at Char
lesion because he went there TanceyizeE OF became
so after he got there. We believe he was ready and
willing to Secede at Charleston,-and we believe he
would have resorted to almost any political move
ment before he would have supported Judge Doug
las.
Mr. Averys alusion to Gen. Dockery brought
that gentleman to his feet He defined his position
and delivered strong Union speech. He said he
desired it to be known that the Senator from Burke
had said he had alluded to him in the manner men,
toned because he regarded him as the strongest
Union man in the Senate. He wanted that fact to
90 down as legacy to his children. Mr.. Avery
PropOunded some questions to the General about the
rights and duties Of the general government in the
seeded States, which Gen. D. answered, and for
some time there running fire" of questions
coming off second best" He caught Tartar "
that time. The best humor prevailed in the Senate
during the coiloquy.
