From the New York Sun.
The brig Daniel Trowbridge. Of New Haven.
Captain Bunker. arrived below Oh Monday from
Martinique with a cargo OF sugar. She eneoun-
tered blizzard on the way up which Captain
Bunker says was the worst he has ever seen m
his fifty years of life at Sea The voyage was
begun on November l6 with fine weather,
which continued until the brig arrived of Hat
teras. Ii grew colder from that time tin Fire
Island was sighted, on last Friday. The wind
was blowing a gale, and the water that came
aboard and the spray that was dashed into her
rigging frozed before 1t could run Of The Ice
coated ropes became as thick as a mans arm;
the sails were heavily lined with ice; there
was no getting into the forecastle TIL
the ice that had frozen around the
doors was chopped away; an immense volume
OF ice chung to the vessels bow Captain Bunker
estimates that there were sixty tons OF ice
aboard. The fore part of the vessel was sunk
low by the weight of the ice there. This made
the water in the hold run to the bow where II
could not toe reached 10y the pump and sent
the vessels nose down still lower max ing her
difficult to manage. The frozen ice on the ropes
ana blocks still further increased the difficulty
Inc snip men We're kept at woik pounding the
Ice from the rigging; but il accumulated faster
than they could clear ii away. The Temperature
was so low that the men could hardly endure
the cold while at work. The vessel beat about
In the gale till Saturday night, and was three
times In sight Of Fire Island before she could
lay her course for this port.
Mate Johnson says that the vessel was at no
time in extreme danger. but that he never be-
fore encountered so much difficulty arising from
the freezing Of salt water on the vessel and rig
gng. The wind was so fierce that il split the
sails, though the entire suit was new.

Mr.. Potter and myself on the floor Of the HOUSE
of Representatives, / determined TO send him Q
4 u
the hands OF friend to deliver, while to escape
arrest or interruption / went immediately to
Alexandria, Va, in concealment. / heard moth
ing more of the matter until i received q mes
sage from my friends that the thing was ended.
and that L should return to Washington. Then
for the first time, WAS told that Mr.. Potter
who had not left Washington, had proposed Z
fight with bowie knives, and that my friends
for reasons satisfactory to themselves, had per-
emptorily rejected the proposition. The friends
who acted on my behalf were Mr. Muscoe r. H
Garrett, OF Virginia, Mr.. VIM. Porcher Miles
and Mr.. Lawrence NJ. Keitt, Of South Carolina
These gentlemen rejected the proposition with
out communicating with me and without nv
knowledge. Indeed, 1 repeat, that did not
know of the proposition until il had been re-
lected. Upon consultation with friends whether
lzmight not yet accept the proposition they
unanimously advised that could not dlsayow
the action OF the gentlemen to whom had en-
trusted my interests. Accordingly, had NO
alternative but to acquiese."
