MONDAY MORNING, MARC [ 16. We received by Saturday night’s mail, from W arrenton, a letter containing an obi ary notice, without being accompanied with i e name of the writer. A Ithough the letter and o ituary bear the evidence that no trick is design 1, we must adhere strictly to the rule, not to üblish any communication without having a esponsible name. : New Jersey Members, 1 The crowded state of our columns to-day pre vents any remarks of our own on th ■ subject of the contested election. We present i > our read ers the majority report, and the a tion of the House thereon, as detailed in the cor ;spondence of the Baltimore Patriot, to which wi f invite their especial attention. We must therel *re content ourself by adopting the subjoined r marks from the National Tntelllgfncer of the 11th inst. which concur with our own views. The House of Representatives can • yesterday to a decision such as it is, upon il ; contested election from the State of New erset; a decision against the Constitution of ;he United States, because it is against the St£ utes of the Stale of New Jersey made in pursu nee of the Constitution; against usage founded in reason and propriety ; and in violation of its . wn pledge, through its committee of elections, » the live persons having possession, from the ot set, of the legal evidence of title to seats as Rep tsentatives in Congress from New Jersey. They have admitted as Represent lives from the State of New Jersey five personslwhora the authorities of New Jersey, legally ailhorised to act upon the subject, have officially < ;clared not to have been elected to sit as Rep tsentatives from New Jersey. A majority of the House of Rep .'sentatives has thus not only nullified the laws o the State of New Jersey, and given seats as 1 en oers to persons having no ascertained title t them, hut they have done so under the followin ; revolting circumstances; First, They refused to hear what tl 3 opposing claimants have to say. Secondly, They refused to hear t e testimo ny in the possession of the Commitb i of Elec tions. Thirdly , They ret used to receive and hear read the report ot the minority of the Committee of Elections, h ourthly. They passed the resolut >n thus vi olating the Constitution, usage, and their own plighted faith, under and by the pi ver of the Previous Question, which cuts off all debate. ; Georgia and Maine. I We perceive by the proceedings in lie Senate that Mr. Lumpkin has introduced the Resolutions ot L.e last Georgia Legislature in reh ion to the Maine difficulty. A short debate ensu J between the Georgia and Maine Senators, eact Jeiending the course of their respective States when the resolutions, on motion of Mr. Lumpki , were re ferred to the Judiciary Committee. The last number of the New York S irit of the Times, being the first number of a m r volume —contains a portrait of the celebrated orse Bos ton. It is stated that Boston is to be f lowed by plates o*' Colonel Hampton’s Monarch and Gov. Butler’s Argyle, and the celebra‘ed Louisiana Champion, Wagner, together with ot ?r dUtin guishcd horses. The reading departme t of “ the Spirit” is full of interest. For the Chronicle and Sentin , , Our Medical College. Mr. Editor :—We were at the Mt ical Col lege on Saturday, and must be permi ed to ex press our great gratification at what w saw and heard. We are pleas d to see tl interest our School of Medicine has at last exc ed in our community. We found every room crowded, and the one in which the exerciseJ rere con ducted was not half large enough for he audi ence. We were particularly struck wit the gen teel appea.ance of the Graduating lass, the largest, we learn, ever passed by this College ; and we are sure that we express the union of all present, in hoping to see the very t propriat* and eloquent Address of Dr. Hook in print. But, Mr. Editor, we are especially anxious by this notice, to extend the information to odr fel low-citizens, 'that a popular course of Lectures is to be commenced this evening in the College, on a very useful and interesting science —we allude to the course proposed by Professor Davis.— From what we observed in the Chemical Labo ratory, and other preparations, and from the high reputation of the Lecturer, we feel persuaded that all who will embrace this opportunity will he well entertained and rewarded for their trou ble. We have heard Professor Davis, on a for mer occasion, and know no one who so happily mingles amusement with instruction. W e un derstand, as a lecturer in his department, he is not surpassed by any in our country. We hope, therefore, to see his room well filled this evening, at eight o’clock, when he commences his course. Augusta. Correspondence of the National Intelligencer. New York, March 9. The various items of foreign news continue to attract public attention, both in political and commerical circles. The news as to oar staples, cotton, flour, and tobacco, is bad, and to-day there are no sales and no buyers, holders not yet submitting to the fall ; flour has sold a little lower than on Saturday. Orders previously received here for the purchase of best Western at $5 50 per barrel have been countermanded by this arri’ val. Orders for good fair cotton are limited to 8 cents. A letter from Paris says the Bank of England has paid in advance, principally by specie, nearly two thirds of its debt to the Bank of France, which renders money there (Paris) abundant. U. S. Bank stock sold to-day at 75; Manhat tan at 74. Exchange on Philadelphia is unchang ed. The packet ship Patrick Henry, which sail ed to-day, took out bills on London at 107£ to 1084. Tne movements of the British in and towards China attract much attention here, and indeed our trade is much interested. It is hoped that our Government will hurry to the Chinese seas as much of a naval armament as it can afford there for the protection of our valuable commerce in that quarter. I see that the’English journals are somewhat disturbed by the relations of the United States and Great Britain as to the Northeastern boun dary. They appear to have learnt something which gives them race disquiet than wc have cause for with our information. The Liverpool steamship would not probably leave Liverpool till May 1. The British Queen was to leave March I. The Great Western leaves New York on the 19th. The'British Queen will soon be in upon us, this week perhaps. For the Chronicle 4- Sentinel. To enlighten the public mind by means of popular lectures in the various departments of science, has long been in successful practice in | our Northern cities. In Boston, the literary I emporium of our country, more than thirty ; courses of lectures have been delivered the past | winter to crowded audiences, and their effect is 1 : best shown by the general diffusion of knowledge j among the people. We are giad to perceive that kind of instruction becoming popular among us, hailing it as one of the most efficient means of disseminating knowledge in our city. We have been led to these remarks by listening to the two 1 lectutes already given by Mr. Richards, on the science of Chemistry. We have attended many lectures on the same subject, but none with more interest and profit. His extensive and well prepared apparatus, the number and brilliancy of his experiments, his lucid and familiar explanation of all the phe- i nomena he presents to his auditors, cannot fail to please and instruct. His experiments in the re- i cent sciences of Magneto-Eiectricity ind Electro- Magnetism, are entirely new in this place, and cannot fail to interest the man of science, as well as the mere beginner in scientific lore. The next j lecture, to-morrow evening, will be on the chemi cal properties of the atmosphere, and we antici pate a succession of useful and brilliant experi ments. We trust the citizens of Augusta will richly appreciate the opportunity now offered them for instruction for themselves and children in one of the most useful natural sciences. Augusta, March 16. W. S. We clip the following items of foreign news, ■ from the correspondence of the New York press. It is stated, that before the Prince quitted England, before Christmas, Lord Melbourne I wailed on him, and reminding him that all the ex oenses of their establishment would be paid by 1 i the Queen asked him what amount of pocket mon- I ! ey he would think adequate for him. The Prince j i at first declined answering, but being pressed on j the point, s..id that he hoped the yearly sum of £4OOO would not be deemed too much. It was 1 then that the Queen said “he shall have £IOO,- 000 a year!” With some difficulty she consen- ! ted that half that amount should lie asked for. The cruel Commons lopped off* two-fifths of it. The queen is said *0 have almost lost her senses with rage, and thinks the conduct of Sir. Robert Peel, who caused the amendments to be earned lobe of the most unpardonable kind. This young lady is, however not increasing her popularity at j the present time. The evident coolness between the Queen and I her mother has, at last, broken into a quarrel, and : the Duchess of Kent has taken the house 36 Bel- ' grave Square. It is Lord Ingestrie’® house, but I j was recently tenanted by the Prince of Cupa. i In a few days she will take pos esssion of it, but is to spend some months in each year on the Continent. It has been particu'arly affirmed in the Com mons by Lord John Russell, that there is no in tention of recalling Sir G. Arthur, the Governor of Upper Canada. A war with America, on ac count of the disputed Maine Boundary, is feared and England has not money to carry it on. A St. Petersburg paper (the Russian Invalid) of 3>J inst. slates that the Russian expedition against Chive reached the River Emba on the 31st December. The cold was intense—32 de grees of Rearaur or 72 degrees of Fahrenheit be low the freezing point. “ None of the soldiers had,’’ says the paper I quote, ‘‘perished.” We recollect, however, that in the horrible retreat of the French army from Moscow in 18 12, when the temperature was only 22 degrees below zero of (Rearnur) lh< (Russian* died of cold in numbers equal to the French. The expedition will nevertheless succeed. The Philadelphia Inquirer of the lllh, says: “A very little change in our money or stock markets yesterday. The European news nas had an unfavorable effect on Flour, Cotton, and American Securities. Money is more abundant, but capitalists still hesitate, unwilling to act defi nitely, until they know the final course of the Legislature in relath n to the Banks.” A Post Office has been established at Red Clay, Murray County, and Henry K. Smeuley appointed Post Master. The Boston Post asserts that Hon. Edward Everett has declined the nomination for the of fice of Governor. Extract from the Correspondence of the North Amer. Harrisburg, March 9th. The resumption bill from the Senate was again taken up, and various amendments were proposed, but all of them negative !. A great deal of time was spent in discussing the several propositions when Mr. Hegin« moved the previous question, which was sustained, and the main question being put, which was to concur in the amendments made by the Senate, (without the amendment made,by Mr. Hegins, and which was adopted on Saturday last,) the yeas and nays were taken and the motion negatived by a tie vote, after which the House adjourned. The presumption now is, that the Senate will insist upon its amendments, and that a committee of conference will be appointed, which will settle upon a bill that in all probability may be passed. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. Washington, March 9. UNITED STATES SENATE. ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS. Mr. Lumpkin called up his resolution propo sing the adjournment of both Houses of Congress by their respective presiding officers, on (blank) Monday in May next. Mr. Lumpkin made some very judicious oh servations in support of the resolution. He thought that if the Senate were now t» determine to adjourn in about two months hence, more bu siness would be done than if no day should be appointed for closing the session. He deemed it important also to the preservation of the dignity of Congress, by confining the proceedings to the actual business of the Legislative Departments. After some remarks on the importance of the Le gislature in our form of Government, (which we hope will he bo-ne in mind by the political asso ciates of the honorable Senator, when they have before them measures for strengthening the Ex ecutive branch) he proposed to fill the blank with the word “eighteenth.” Mr, Clay, of Alabama, supported the resolution on the ground that Congress might easily finish all the important business before it by the eigh teenth of May :—and added some remarks in fa vor of equalizing the length of the two Sessions. Mr. Clay of Ky. said that he was glad this pro position came from the other side of the Senate ; and he assured the honorable mover, that he w r ould vote fcr the adjournment of Congress on the day designated—or for an earlier day if pro posed—to adjourn to-morrow—nay, even this day! For he confessed with regret and mortifi cation, that he did not expect any thing to he done, at this session, to mitigate the sufferings or promote the interests of the country. The soon er therefore members should go home to their constituents—the sooner they mix with them— j and get instructions and counsels for their con i due’ at the next session, a session to which, he thought all would come under other auspices, the better for the people. Let us go home then, said | Mr. Clay, and see our constituents—ask for their | wives and children—hear the recital oftheircon- I dition from their own mouths—and hear their ! suggestions as to measures of relief. He had no doubt that the honorable mover was perfectly sincere in his proposition; hut he believed that the tendency of it would he to de ceive and impose upon the people. Did the Sen ator from Georgia really think that Congress would adjourn at the time designated ? Mr. Clay could not believe they would. He thought there was a greater chance for a session in mid summer—that they would be found here in the i dog-days. The condition of the Treasury was itself a strong obstacle. The Treasury Note Bill ; would keep Congress here for some time; and i Mr. Clay did not hesitate to declare his belief that ' the Government would call for another addition al amount of Treasury Notes before the session should be over. Ho repeated that he would vote ; for the resolution. Mr. Lumpkin said he had some doubts at first of the success of his proposition; but he thought it his duty to persevere. Mr. Benton expressed a wish that the mover would permit the resolution to lie over for a while, and then endeavor to connect it with a proposition for equalizing the two sessions of Congress, which he thought was most desirable. He expressed a belief that the Government might be embarrassed by deciding on so early a day. There were several great measures yet to be act ed upon; and especially those necessary to the actual support of the Government. He then broke out into one of his paroxysms of violence, declaring that he—he would not consent that this Government snould be stopped, nor would he con sent to put the possibility of such an occurrence in the hands of those who are willing to see the Government go down. Mr. Lumpkin persisted in his motion With majorities in favor of the Administration in both Houses, he thought his friends could despatch the public business by the time designated—and if this was not done, he really thought that the blame ought to rest on the majority.—But he j took for granted that rnemtiers would be influenc ed by proper and patriotic motives to do what the interests ot the country demand within the period appointed. Mr. Sevier declared his intention to support the motion. He wished to go home. He belie ved that every thing important could be done by Congress before the middle of May. As to what had been said about supporting tlie Government, he would go for five, ten, or one hundred millions of Treasury Notes, if really required to carry on ; the Government. I Mr. Hubbard moved to postpone the resolution | till Monday fortnight, which was rejected—Aves | 20, nays 22. y A Senator moved to lay the resolution on the table—which was rejected. Mr. King moved to postpone the lesolutbn till Monday next, which was agreed to without a di vision. MAINE BOUNDARY DIFFICULTIES The President transmitted to the Senate to day some additional documents in reference to the d'fficulues between the Government of the fTu L Bta fV nd Gre " t Britai,t ’ on ‘he subject of the North Eastern Boundary. They consist of a letter from the Governor of Maine, and cor respondence thereupon arising between the Bri tish Minister anc Secretary of State. Governor Fairfield declares in his letter to Secretary Forsyth, that the explanation con lamed in the letter of Mr Fox, last communica ted to the Secretary, of alledged occupation of the Disputed Te ritory by British troops are “not true , and that the Minister s positive and un qualified denial of facts of which abundant proof has been obtained, is only equalled in character by the pretensions to the Territory heretofore set op by the British Authorities. He concludes with an official call upon the President for protection of the State ajainst inva sion. M Forsyth communicates to Mr.Fox.the information contained in Governor Fairfield's letter, and submitting that there must be some extraordinary misapprehension existing on the subject, asks an early explanation. Mr. Fox ente-s into a long and minute expla nation of the circumstances, declaring that the representations of the Governor of Maine are ex aggerated ; and repeating his former statements relative to the precautionary measures which were taken by the British authorities in Canada, and which were rendered necessary by the ag gression of the citizens of Maine. Mr. Williams, after some remarks, moved the printing of 5,000 additional copies of the message and documents. Security of Public Money.— On motion of Mr. Wright, the bill for securing the public money, and for the punishment of defaulters, was made the special order for Tuesday next. The Senate then adjourned. Washington, March 10, 1840. UNITED STATES SENATE. BANKRUPT LAW. A number of memorials were presented to-day from New York, New Jersey, and other Slates, praying for the establishment of a Uniform Sys tem of Bankruptcy throughout the United States. Mr. Wall, the Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, to whom these memorials and pe titions were referred, gave notice that the Com mittee are now preparing a Bill which will prob ably be submitted to the Senate next week. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. After some time consumed in amending the journal of yesterday, Mr. Bolts of Va., asked leave to present and have read the report of the minority of the Committee of Elections in the New Jersey case. Objections were immediately raised by the ! whole Administration members, which, however, were withdrawn on the Chair stating that the mere reception and reading of the report, without the question of printing, would not make it super- i cede the question on Petriken’s resolutions. One illustrious personage remained obstinate j in h;s objections, and that was Petriken himself, j who magnanimously expressed his willingness to j lay the report on the table, but not to have it read. Mr. Bolts then moved a suspension of the \ rules, and the yeas and nays being ordered the motion was lost, two thirds not voting for it. The question then (hy the application of that j party axe, the previous question, which cuts off all debate.) having recurred on the resolution of | Mr. Petriken to amend Mr. Fillmore’s motion to I recommit, by substituting therefor a preamble declaring that Messrs. Dickerson, Vroom, and their associates have received a majority of the lawful votes of the people of New Jersey, and a resolution stating that those gentlemen are entitl ed to their seals as members of the House, and [ requiring the Speaker to administer the oaths to them and duly qualify them, when they present themselves. Mr. Smith of Connecticut, moved to lay the resolution on the table; which was rejected, yeas 92, nays 113. The Speaker then put the question on the adoption of the resolution. Mr, Monroe of New York, protested against this proceeding as most unwarrantable, and asked to he excused Irom voting, as he had not seen | the documents or testimony. Mr. Calhoun of Massachusetts, refused to vote. 1 He believed the resolution stated that which is ; not true in point of fact. When the name of Mr. Foggin was called, he asked if he could have the privilege of assigning his reasons for the vote he was about to give ? but the Speaker declared he could not under the rules of the House. Mr. Russell offered a resolution requiring the members to vote who had declined voting. Mr. Dromgoole contended that this was out of order. File Speaker decided that it was in order. The Loco Focos reversed the decision. The question was then taken on the resolution ! as amended, and carried in the affirmative—ayes 111, nays 80—a number of the opposition mem bers having refused to vote. [Mr. Habersham of Georgia, came into the House just as his name had been passed in call- i ing the yeas and nayr, and asked that (as his ! vote would make no alteration in the result) he might be permitted to have it recorded in the negative. Objection being made, on the ground that such requests, though often made, had always been refused— Mr. Habersham moved to suspend the rules, j observing that as he had seen many very extra- i ordinary things done by this House,' it might as I well do one thing a little extra-extraordinary. The motion was negatived.] Mr. Jones of Virginia, called for the orders of the day. Mr. Dromgttole said he hoped that now the report of the minority of the Committee on Elec tions would be received hy general consent, and ! that iu together with the evidence before the Com • mittee would be ordered to he printed. Mr. Bolts, in some remarks, (scarcely heard by the reporter amidst the noise of general con gratulation which pervaded the Hall,) observed that he hoped, and would now move, this should be done; and also hoped that the nation would observe that the House had first voted that the fi\e gentlemen from New Jersey had received a majority of the votes of the whole State, and afterward that they would have the evidence of this printed for their consideration. Mr. Garland demanded the yeas and nays on Mr. Dromgoole’s proposition. * He said that a little while ago gentlemen had refused to receive the minority report of the Committee, or allow it to be printed; but now their object had been accomplished, they were ready to do both hy unanimous consent. He in isted on the yeas and nays. J Mr. Dromgoole said there was no need of a vote, or any yeas and nays. The report was al ready received hy general consent. Mr. Calhoun of Massachusetts, said he hoped the gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Bolts.) would withdraw his motion for the reception of the minority report. It had already been suppressed and let it go to the country as a suppressed re port. • Mr. Bolts declined. He thought that it was important that at this particular moment, above all others, such a vote should pass. Mr. Lewis Williams moved to suspend the rules to receive the motion. 1 On that motion, Mr. R. Garland asked the yeas and nays. Mr. McClellan contended that the same motion could not again be made on the same day, after it had been once negatived; and he moved an adjournment. The yeas and nays were demanded, and, bein~ taken, resulted as follows; Yeas 95, nays 87 ° So the House, at a little past 3, adjourned. Washington, Tuesday Evening,March 10 The contest in the House of Representatives about the New Jersey Election case, has termi nated as every one knew it would, after the Ad ministration Party had shamelessly avowed their I wish that the quality of the lawfulness of the votes should not be regarded by the Committee of Elections in making their report; and after that Party had repeatedly refused to allow the Minority of the Committee to make a Counter Report. The non-Commissioned pretenders, i Messrs. Dickerson, Vroom, and their associates, j have been voted into the vacant seats by a nu- j merical majority, who are ready at all limes to yield a blind, unthinking unscrupulous, servile compliance with the requisitions of Party. No time has been given even for the consideration of the Report of the Majority of the Committee declaring that the non-commissioned pretenders had received a majority of the votes as shown before the polls were expurgated. None of the testimony has been considered by the House— the judges in this momentous case. The Mi nority of the Committee h tve not even been per mitted to bring in their Counter Report—much less make it the subject of examination and dis cussion ; and scarcely one of them has been per mitted to open his mouth to expose the partial and iniquitous proceedings of the framers of the Report. Mr. Fillmore, it is true, did succeed finally in speaking hypothetically, after being interrupted repeatedly by such persons as Petri ken and Duncan. The great mass of the Loco Focos who march ed up in solid column to vote in their New Jer sey brethren.'without a blush or a wince, were of the mind of an extraordinarily candid member of their ranks, who was directly charged to-day, in the lobby, with knowing nothing at all about the merits of the case. A gentleman—not a member—said to him, “Come now, Mr. , confess you have never examined this case—you have never seen the evidence. How can you vote that these men are lawfully entitled to their scats 1” “Oh ! They are good democrats , I know, and that is enough forme!” What care these parli zans for law or justice, when “the party’s” inter ests are at stake 1 The New York papers of the 7th inst. con tain an advertisement offering a reward of SSOO, with all reasonable expenses, for the apprehension j and delivery to the officers of justice in that city, ' of C G.

Pexxsvlvaxia Bank Bile.—We learn from the Harrisburg Reporter that on the 9th, the j House of Representatives refused to concur in I the amendments of the Senate to Mr. Pkxximax’s bid, for an immediate resumption. The vote stood 42 to 42. Being a question of concur rence—a tie vote defeats the amendments. The state of the bill now is this: the House passed it, and sent it to the Senate. The Senate ; sent it hack with amendments, which the House reject. It will now go hack to the Senate, in which body the question will he t) recede from its amendments, or insist on them. If it recede, Mr. Pkxx imax’s bill as it first passed the House will only want the Governor’s signature to be | come a law. If the Senate insist on its amend ments, committees of conference wi'l he appoint ed by each house, whose province it will be, to reconcile the differences between the houses. If they fail to do this, the bill is lost. Two hoys, apprentices of the late Mr. F. !

The demand f >r cotton, which was quite limited at the time our repor. of last Wednesday moraine was made up revived a little on that day,and sales were effected to the extent of 3500 bales, at rates not essentially varying from th >se before current The transactions of Thursday showed the continu ance of a tolerably fair demand, at pievious pii, e s purchasers having taken about 3,800 bales. Yes.’ terday the market appeared very quiet, though there was a pretty fair business doing notwithstand ing, the sa es having amounted to 3tOU bales. We continue former quotations, nothing having occured since our last that would authorise « change. The demand for cotton latterly, has been very genera! including every description, and has not been con fined to any particular class of buyers. The small number of vessels now in port, and the high rates which are in consequence demanded for freight continue to have a very prejudicial effect oaW market. LIVERPOOL CLASSIFICATIONS.
