FEARFUL SCENE AT A CIRcUs-One of the
artists OF PaoIO Fanques ci Gus, now exh6h-
ing i'll Preston, Eng, met with fearful adven
ture, which is thus ciIronicled III the English
journals lit was announced that Madame
Salvi would walk along a thin twisted wire
cable, stretching from the top of the circus
(outside) to block fixed n little above the
front entrance to the establishment and
very large number OF persons congregated to
witness the accomplishment OF the feat. Mad
anne Salvi progrt ssed along the wire very
steadll. until within ten or twelve yards of the
end, when, 10 the alarm of all present. and the
screams of some, one OF the ropes which held
the wire at The top Of the circus gave way.
The accident completely destroyed the equllb-
rum of Madame Savi, and she was thrown
of the wire In descending, however, she
managed 10 catch the wire with one OF her
arms, and remained suspended in this trightul
position for about half Il minute, after which
she secured the wire with her hands, her body
swinging in the air at full length. In short
time Lumber OF men reared a ladder 10 the
roof of the circus. Madame Salvi, who WAS
hanging Immediately above them, managed,
after some little difficulty, to find the ladder
with her feet. She then descended amid the
cheers of the anxious crowd, and eventually
landed in safety upon the ground.

COMMISSIONERS TO WASHINGTON.

The Massachusetts legislature will resolve
to send commissioners to Washington. The
senate passed resolutions to this effect yester-
day, by vote of 25 to 6; and, to-day, the
house will do the same thing by strong ma
jorlty All those who voted last night TO sus.
pend the rules will vote for the resolves with
many OF those who voted against suspending
the rules We are glad the legislature has de.
cded to take this course. 1t can do no harm
and may do good, Ii the holding of such
hurried convention at all had depended
on the action of our legislature, the case
would be different. But the conference
will take place at any rate, and all the New
England states, with most OF the other free
states, had decided TO send commissioners.
Therefore, it seems is us fit that Massachusetts
should be represented there. The commits
sioners will have no power to bind the state
to nything, nor to do much more than hold
consultations moreover, they are likely to be
men in whom the people of Massachusetts, will
have entire confidence.

Mr.. SUMMERS INTERVIEW WITH THE
PREsIDENT.-The Washington correspondent
of the Boston Traveller transmits the follow
ing full and authentic account of the interview
between Senator Sumner and the president -
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Much interest is
manifested in the interview between President
Buchanan and Senator Sumner. Mr.. Sum-
ner visited the president at the request of Gov.
Andrew, TO learn his answer 10 the Massachu-
sets offer of military aids That done, Mr..
Sumner said--"What else can Massachusetts
do for the good of the country?"
Mr.. Buchanan-A great deal No state
more.
Mr. Sumner-I should like to know what
Mr.. Buchanan, after a pause-Adopt the
Crittenden proposition.
Mr.. Sunlner-Is that necessary
Mr.. Buchanan-It is.
Mr.. Sumner-Massachuse has not acted
directly on these propositions, which seek to
give slavery a constitutional protection in ter
rtories, and disfranchise large numbers of her
citizens, but / believe such are the convictions
Of the Massachusetts people, that they would
never consent to any such proposition. Mr..
Sumner repeated his assurance in the strong
est language.
The president said he felt discouraged by
the reply.
Mr.. Sumner spoke of the common ground
where all who truly loved the country cold
stand 1t was the constitution as administered
by Washington. The verdict of the people
last November should be recognized without
price or condition.
The president said lie and Mr.. Sumner
must differ politically.
Mr.. Sumner assured the president that the
people of Massachusetts were attached to the
Union that real disunionists there might all
be put in an omnibus, but Massachusetts
could not be brought to sacrifice or abandon
her principles, and in that (he) Sumner sin
cerely Joined.
