On the 29th the ballot for Speaker stood as follows :—Banks, 99 ; Orr, 69; Fuller, 34; Scatteray, 8. Necessary to a choice, 106. In the Senate, on the 28th ult., Mr. Cass delivered a speech, which occupied two hours and a half, on Central American affairs. Alluding to the remarks of the National Intelligencer, that the country might be drifting into difficulties, he said that he did not believe it. He thought the ship of State was on its true course, and the pilot doing his duty. Mr. Cass used strong language, denunciatory of the positions assumed ley the British Governm mt relative to the Protectorate in Central America, characterising its pretensions in setting up a king over the Mosquito Indians as mere mockery, under which England alone exercised real sovereignty. Mr. Clayton corrotorated Mr. Cass by reading extracts from documents, showing that the British Vice-Consul was the real Governor of Mosquito, and gave titles to land in his own name. Mr. Collarner contended that there could lee no possible prete-:: rrsr the assumption of England, that the occup4aJou she agreed not to exercise was only prospective, and had no reference to the occupation which she then held. He, however, thought the time for legislative action had not arrival, inasmuch as the President, in his annual mesa e, expressed hopes that there might still be an arnicaisle adjustment of the controversies between this Government and Great Britain. The subject was then postponed. A resolution,. declaring "ally agitation of the slitvery 41 /teatime unwise and unjust to a portion of the American people and injurious to every section, and ought not to be countenanced," had been adopted by a majority of one in the House of Re • presentatives. The Hon. Mc. Dallas is reported to have accepted the post of Minister to England, vicei\fr. Buchanan. There was a rumour current that a filibustering expedition, numbering 500 men, had landed at San Blas, Lower California.  A shocking affair had oc.curred in Kentucky. A number of fugitive slaves having taken refuge in a house the police officers proceeded to arrest them. The slaves fired and wounded several of the spectators. One slave woman, finding escape impossible, cut the throats of her children, killing one instantly and severely wounding two others. Six of the fugitives were apprehended, bat eight of another party are said to have escaped. The freezing of the Ohio river offered great facilities for fugitive slaves. Two British agents, named Galbr Lith and Gillispie, who had, in default of bail, remained in prison. at Buffalo since August last on a charge of enlisting soldiers, had been released on providing smurities for their future appearai ce. Fourteen persons had been drowned in Chesapeake-bay by the capsizing of a schooner. The steam-ship Star of the West had arrived at, New York with $6t3,446 in California gold.

In the Court of Oyer and Terminer, on the 28th ult., the second trial of Louis Baker, charged with the !murder of Bill Poole, was postponed until April next, on motion of the counsel for tl:e accused. The trials of the other defendants will not take place until the case of Baker is disposed of. Advices from Havannah state that General Concha was to leave the island for Spain, where he will receive the title of Count of Havannah. His successor is said tv be General Zabala. From the New York commercial advices we learn that the latest European accounts were considered unsatisfactory, and had caused a decline in the prices of all the speculative securities.
