IMPORTANT BILL OF NIB. M'KRE.

AAGNh1AHI DILL VI Me- N AEG.
Mr.. Harding, Of Kentucky, attempted,
for the second time, to prevent Mr.. Mckee
from introducing a bill which protects
Union officers from prosecution by the
rebel Courts Of the State.
This time, however, the House took the
matter in hand, and by an overwhelming
vote decided to have the bill introduced.
The atrocious Kentucky Legislature has
the support of no Representatives here,
except those who are hoping for political
preferment at its hands.
The great event of the day and Of the
session in the Senate, was Summers
speech, The galleries were crowded to
excess, as they have not been Oh any coca
sion for a long time. Fred. Douglass was
in the gallery, one of the most attentive
listeners and evidently the best pleased
man in the Chamber as he heard the dis
tinguished champion of his race plead SO
eloquently in its behalf. Nearly every
member of the Senate listened with rapt
attention to Mr.. Sumner. Reverdy John
son busted himself making nstes, as if
with the intention of replying.
At 4 O'clock it WAS evident to Mr..
Summers friends that he was tired out,
and Mr.. Morgan, of New York, moved an
executive session, so as to give him a
chance to take another day to it. To-mor-
row he will review the Presidents policy
in solid terms.
Two hundred thousand copies of the
speech have already been ordered for pri-
vate distribution,

A Rush of German EmIgrants to
America.

Eighty thousand Germans emigrated
last year via Hamburg and Bremen.
About fifteen thousand more, it is calcu-
lated, left for the same destination by way
of France, England and Belgium. The
Hamburg-American Steamship Company
are inst doubling the number of their
ships, expecting a like influx of passen-
gers in the immediate future. If politi-
cal dissatisfaction remains as strongly
pronounced in Germany as it is now,
their anticipations will, no doubt, be full
filed. Contrary to what was formerly
the case, when very poor people would lay
by a few thalers to carry them over, a con-
siderable portion of emigrants now con-
sist of small farmers, with a thousand or
two of thalers in their pockets.-Berlin

Seward in Hayff-He is a Guest OF
COnsuI-GeneraI Peck.
The New York Herald prints the fol-
lowing extract from a letter written by a
persen who accompanied Secretary Sew
ard on his Haytian trip:
The DeSoto arrived in u harbor SO
late in the afternoon that the distinguished
party on board did not land till the next
morning at eight o'clock. Hon. August
Ely, Secretary of State for Foreign Rela-
tons, and General Ernest Reumain, Hay
ten Charge at Washington, now on a
visit to his family, met the party at the
wharf and accompanied it to the residence
of Mr.. Peck, United States Commissioner
to Hayti. We took carriages and went
through the city, visiting the Cathedral,
Senate House and House OF Representa-
tiVes, and other objects of in5erest.
At ten we r~eturnedto Mr. Peck's, where
we all took breakfast. Their the President
sent his private carriages, two aids-de-
camp and a cavalry escort to accompany
the party to the palace. Ara. F. Seward
received also an invitation from Madame
Geffrard. We all went together, and
founda large body guard Drawn up IN
front of the palace, with a fine band of
music. The Hon. MI. Seward was re-
eeived with all the honors due TO his rank
and position. On the palacesteps we were
met BY Generals Daimler and Phillippeaux,
members of the Cabinet, who led us to the
reception room, where his Excellency the
President, Nine. Geffrard and her daugh-
tiers gave them a most hearty and sincere
welcome. Mr.. Seward and the President
csnversed together about two hours, while
Mrs. Seward was entertained by the ladies
Of the Presidents family.
l need not say that the interview was
most cordial and friendly. Mr. Seward
on several occasions expressed his s~atifac-
ten at having seem and heard the Presi-
dent. think the impressions be received
werequitef favorable to our governmental and
,lsa nae.
On the return of Mr.. Seward to Mr..
Peck's he received the diplomatic corps,
md then the party returned on board,
remained about six hours with US.

PRESIDENT Lieoln's Absentmindedness.

The officers and prominent members of
the American Colonization Society were
invited by Mr.. Lincoln tomeet him. They
presented themselves at the White House,
and after the conference was closed and
several had taken their leave, the Presi-
dent suddenly bethought himself, of Mr..
Chase, the Secretary of the Treasury, who
had been present all the while, and said,
g let me introduce you to the Secretary of
the Treasury" The President had intro
dueed three or four gentlemen, when his
memory failed him, and he turned with
his peculiarly humorous look to the Pregi-
dent of the Colonization Society, and said,
aHere, Mr.. LatrObe, you introduce the
rest, for / have forgotten their names!"

From tbs Jamaica Morning Journal, Jan, ISL
Yesterday old st. Jage de la Vega was
unusually snlivened by the meeting of the

1t is not within the recollection of the old
est inhabitant that an extraordinary ses-
sion has been SO brilliantly attended.
Precisely at three o olsek, his Excellency
entered the audience chamber, followed
by a large %retinue of military and naval
officers. His Excellency Sir Henry
Knight Storks, K. @. b., NJ. G., seated
himself at the head Of the table. On his
right were his Excsllency Sir James Hope
and the Right Rev. Bishop Oourtenay ! on

P-roCeaaor FIroSIone I'M EIyria.

We clip the following netiee Of the
lecture Of Doctor FirsstonA of Wooster,
delivered in Elyria on Wednesday Of last
week. Doctor Firestone is among the
ablSst members of the medical profession
Of this State, and his success as g lecturer
isss great az his ability as a practitioner.
he is one Of the faculty Of the Charity
Hospital Medical College of this city. We
wish that he might bs induced to deliver
his lecture before a Cleveland audience:
"A largo and appreciatiye audience list
ened to Prof. Firestons, at Ely's Hall, on
last Wednesday evening, His subject
was GReciproeal influences Of the body
and mind" Our space will not permit
US to trace his entire course Of argument,
but the practical Importance Of the sub
ject induces US to refer to its leading
points.
briefly, the chief object Of the learned
Professor was to show the absolute neces-
sity Of carefully cultivating the physical
organism Of the body, in order to secure
the full development and healthful exer-
else of all the various functions of the
mind. This was the leading thought, and
the facts and illustrations he brought to
bear in support of his theme, were net
only convincing, bnt many of them of
thrilling interest. He showed the intim-
ate relations hat exist between the body
and mind, and depicted the folly of at
tempting to educate the one before the
other was fitted by str myth and endur-
ance, to act its part in sustaining q vigor-
Gus and healthful exercise of the mind.
Hence, be was opposed to the "stufing
process" so prevalent in late years, by
which children are made to progress faster
in mental discipline than in physical eul-
tuTe; and although the result may shsw a
precocity that is Aattering to the parents,
it results in an early decay Of both body
and mind. The statistics he addueed In
support of this position were such as to
convince all Of the truth of his assertion,
if any other proof than common observa-
ton were needed.
This lecture is richly worthy the atten-
ton Of the public. It is on a practical
that should be presented to every
man and woman in the land. Persons
pay their dollar to hear some distinguish
ed lecturer, whose subject Is some meta
physical question that nobody understands
and feel that they have got the worth Of
their money; but, in fact, the lecture Of
Professor Firestone is Of infinitely more
because it treats of a subject that
all can understand, and that pertains to
the welfare Of the human race.

SPEECH OF SIR HENRY sFoRKa


to-day in m extraordinary session, and l
am afraid ut some Inconvenience to your
selves, for the purpose of submitting to
you a bill to provide certain statutory
powers which will enable royal commits
sioners to compel the attendance of wit
nesseS, and to examine them on oath un-
der a royal commission about to be issued
by her Majesty the Queen, for an inquiry
into the origin, nature and circumstances
of the lats disturbances in this island, and
with respect to the measures adopted for
the suppression of the same. The bill will
be placed before you without delay, and I
confidently trust in your wisdom and
prudence to give the royal commissioners
such powers as will facilitate the inquiry
ordered by her Majesty.
SCENE IN THE HoUsE-THE AvENGE OF @.
W. eoRDoNs BLOOD CALLED FOR.
Mr.. DeCordova submitted an address in
answer to the opening speech.
Mr.. Nathan rose and addressed the
House in a very energetic speech. He
said if he spoke warmly 1t was because of
the absence of one of the best members of
the House. Where, he asked, was he ?
Why was his place vacant? He instanced
that Jamaica was one of the best possess
sions of the British Crown, and in point of
loyalty second to none, which history
would bear testimony for it wa on record
that this country had subscribed no less
than $500, 900 to George III. The u
try wanted peace; but until the death of
a member Of this House was inquired into
it was no use to talk of peace. His death
demanded redress, and till then the
preaching of peacs was en- empty word
for the men who now preach peace and
concord had been the men who had yio-
lated it. The honorable gentleman warm
ly and lengthily addressed the House.
After much excited discussion, an ad-
dress, promising every assistance to the
Governor in prosecuting the inquiry. was
eventually adopted by sixteen to eight.
