the arrival Of Thurlow Weed 10 New
York, and says !:
He does not seem to have suffered
much from the torrents, or perhaps We
should say columns, Of denuncia ion that
have been leyeled at him recently. We
saw)h this morning, on the steps Of the
Aston House, looking as benign and
lively as ever, aud laughing heartily At
a joke at his expense regarding the cleo
ton Of Judge Harris to the U. S. Sena-
torship. There was ring in that laugh
which seemed to make it the laugh Of a
winning man. We incline to think In
deed that Mr.. Weed had no very serious
objection to the election Of Judge Har-
ris. 1t is said he smied Significantly
when the caucus determined to give the
nomination to that gentleman.

Frnnl WASHINGTON,


WASHINGTON, Feb. THE galleries ofthe House
were densely crowded to-day, and among the spec
tators were the Commissioners to the Peace Con-
gress. Suddenly sound like the reverberatiou of
cannon startled everybody almost. Members
rushed to thei- feet, and number OF ladies hasti
Iy left the galleries. The Speaker quieted the
fears Of the people by announcing that something
had fallen on the rool-and it was subsequently
certained that the wind had blown down small
derrick.
Generals Doniphan and Coulter, and Judge
Johnson Commissioners from Missouri to the
Peace Congress, have arrived here. This body, af-
ter short session to-day, adjourned to pay visit
to the President and attend the Capitol
The object of Mr. Corwin in deferring action on
the report of the Committee Of Thrtv-three for a
week longer, was to see what the Peace Congress
will do in the meantime.
The resignation oil Capt lngraham has been ac-
cepted. Capt. Shubrick is not likely, as here
tofore designed, to pursue similar course.
Not over ten members present in the House
tonight during the delivery of speeches. and per-
haps two dozen listeners in the gallery.
