oected with tfce New Jersey contested election be
rtfomd to tbe ftnidec of Election* hereafter to
be appointed. Tbe resolution was not in ordert
tod after soot words this morning was with
drawn!
Mr. Joano*. ofMd. raised another point of or
der. and intended to speak upon it He contend
ed tint tbe 8pe«kerof the House srmsbound by
the Con«titut»>n of tbe United Sutrs to swear in
tbe memhrrs from New Jenev. He contended
that tfce demand they had uu^f to be sworn in—
their appearing al the bar ofthellou** with the
c*rti:>^te* of their election in their hands, placed
the Speaker in a position from which he coukl not
escape.
Mr. Johnson, efter a brief >nscu«*'oii upon
pot ots of order, withdrew Itu propotitioD. Still
there were points of order before the House, bat
tlw end of them was that Mr. Wise, after being
several times interrupted upon paints of order,
got the floor.
Mr. Wise commenced a somewhat lengthy
speech bv a addressing himself to tbe State Rigf.i*
men. Two de*ertejs. h* said, had discovered
themsek** alrerdr, and these were State Bight*
men—/tn*.vning Mr. Sh*pperd. of X. rarofina,

asking protection in her State Right* uoctru.ee.
might cry out to such State Right* ui»r»—-Save
m* from my friends, and 1 will take care of my
enemies.”
Mr. W. compared Mr. Rhett's To»e* and Mr.
Rhett’s «p*ccbe*. and contended that be had act
ed a part grossly inconsistent, lie also referred
to the prior act* of Mr. Tliomv* of Md. and hi* I
colleague Mr. I'romioole of Va. in regard to
swearing iu members. Once, these two men con
tended that no busine*# could be done uulers all
the members were sworn in—(Mr. Wise alluded
to the rase of Claiborne and Gbolson.)
Mr. Dnoxoon-E r.od Mr. Tno««s both ex-
phi ned briefly, making the ca*#«, a* 1 unders ood,
different from the one before the llon«*.
Mr. Wise left them an-1 returned to Mr. Rhett.

of the a.Slest which h»<I been mvle upon tlie sub

tfla pfaun* and populous vale* they fill the mind
with tenfold astonishment—they strike ill*, heart
with tenfold sngni-b. AH the road to Douio Dos-
solo was broken into a hundred fragments, cud
utterly impracticable except on foot, and thus I
may say, that from Simp'o.i village to L’omo, a
distance of about twenty miles, the passage of the
Alps, with the exception of a few fragments, is
entirely destroyed. What damage may have
been done from Simplon to Brieg, I e nnotof
my own knowledge speak, bnt report *a\* it is
* equally extensive; every town and every inn on
the line is filled withperHon* and vehicle* arrested
bv this misfortune, and little or no chance have
they of either going or returning.
A few weeks may, perhaps, render the route
paaeable by pedestrain*, but 1 have it from one of
the inspector* that carriages will not been*'1*1
to past earlier than next spring. Had but a little
care and monov been yearly expended upon this
superb work the present affliction would have
been in aome measure alleviated; hut the road
hae been let fall into disrepair, mended merely
temporarily, as occasion required, an I that in t' e
wont and most slovenly manner. It is said tlie
King of Sardinia more favors tlie passage of
Blomit Cems, as leading through a great exit n! of
his territory, and tliat he is, therefore, indifferent
or averse to the Simplon route. It is alio said
that the Emperor of Austria has no objection to
the abntting up of tbe groat highway for tlie
French into bis Italian dom’nioiu. But whatever
be the real cause of tho neglect, it i* lamentable to
see this unequalled monument of genius and art
falling into decay, and sinking under tlie combin
ed attack* of thorn elements it was intended, nud
for so long a time has successfully striven, to «ul>-
duc. We reached Domo on the evening of die
8th, and left it next morning, still having the mis-
cry to pass through nothing but unmitigated rav
age. The splendid bridge which crossed t e
Torcc at Maxone was so wholly swept away ns
not even to leavo a trace of where it stood, and
the road to Vogogna was intersected at every few
paces with tlie impetuous mountain stream,which
nothing could resist. Tho pretty and populous
town of Ornavasco, between Vogogna and Her-
tola, presented one of tlie saddest spectacles it is
possible to conceive. Torrents fierce, and of a
volume scarce imaginable, were rushing even on
that, the second day after the subsiding of the de
luge, through the doors, and windo ws of tlie ill-
> fated houses, the streets being choked up ten or
twelve feet with the Btones uud saml which load
been previously carried down and there deposit
ed. A volcanic eruption conld not have left be
hind it a greater accumulation ofcarth and stones
than was thrown upon bis half buried tow n by
the eruption of tlie mountain waters. Like ano
ther Hcrcul&n&um, it stood overwhelmed with
ruins, deserted and half hid under the earth,
while a few solitary individuals stood looking
over tbe devastation of their homes, and the blast
ing oftheir hopes, with louden aspects and fixed
•yes—pictures of despair.
The elements would appear to have reached
tho climax in their war upon humanity for us this
«vas|ibe most affocting sight we met with,
no it was the last. From Ornavasco to Ilesiola,
nJthesgb some remains of f!ie inundation yet rest-
ahro ul white streak around her, apparently rath
cr an old vessel, also ashore' on tlie edge of the
flats. The brig and schooner went into Plymouth
in company with Capt. 8. ’Hie brig dragged
foul ofthe Homer carrying away both the brig*.*
top valiant mn-ts, parted tlie schooner’s chains,
and drove the latter upon the ton of the flats,
where there tire only four or five feet water at
high tide. The Homer leaked considerably, and
must discharge to get off.
The dismasted brig at anchor inside Cohtsset

which sailed from this port on Satnrdny. She
adchoredatll A. M on Monday, and rut away
both masts. Schooner Antioch, of Ellsworth,
lumber laden, and supposed to have drifted out
of Cape Ann harbor, struck onNirhol’s rock
about 7 o’clock on Tuesday morning, and was fast
going to piece*:she was dismurted. and no one
on board when she wen on me rock. Schooner
Margure*, of BajJi, before reported, remained high
and dry. British brig Susannah, drove up to
Quincy; British schooner If. Davenport, for
Annapolis, is ashore on Ifoxpital Island

finding the steamboat partially d smantled went
down to tlie bench, and, ascertained that the
arhr. Suran Jane, of Bluehill, from New York,
with flour and navy timW, was at anchor off
Black Rock, Cohasset, dismasted and with loss
of 'udder; she hid parted one chain in the gale,
hut tlie other held her. She had been abandoned
and the captain; his wife, and crew were all safe
on shore at Seituate. Schooner Endeavor, of
Phippshurg, Maine, lumber laden, is ashore at
eSimond's farm salt works, high and dry, in good
order, und her deck load landed.
Schoooner Julia, Morrill, of and from Dresden,
anchored below on Sunday, and in the night sh»
dragged, struck on a rock off Spectacle Island,
and knocked of her rudder. Her masts were cut
away, after which she swung to her anchors, nud
remains safe.

OBITUARY.
The death of few individuals has occasioned
more sincere and undissemhled sorrow in this
community, than that ofthe late Patrick Hoes-
took. Esq., which occurred in this city, on tlie
2"lh lilt., in tlie 63d year of hi* nge. * Though
well known by his public service, hiving di-
charged with exemplary fidelity the duties ofthe
re«ponsiT)!e office of Treasurer of this city, he
was more distinguished by hi* amiable qualities in
private and domestic life.and by bis chxwfi in char
acter. Of him it mizhtbe truly said; " Behold i
nn Israelite indeed in whom is no gnfle,” To J
tho-e who intimately knew him, his name and
memory require no aid from tlie pen, to adorn or
perpetuate them. They find a more enduring
memorial in the affections of the bean. But
friendship love* to dwell upon hi* name and re
cord his prai«e.
Mr. Ur. tonn descended from very honorable
nnceitry. His grand-father was Sir Patrick Hou<-
toun, a native of Scotland. He accompanied
Gen. Oglethorpe to this country in 1732, and wa*
of conrse one of the first settlers of Georgia. He
resided for some year* on St. Simon’s Hand ;
hut subsequently removed to this city, and wa*
President of his Majesty’s Council of Georgia till
his death, which occurred Feb. f»th. 1762. The
a*he*ofbotli hirn*elfand Lady Priscilla Ilouutoun,
arc entombed in the cemetery of this city. They
left five son*. Patrick, George, James, John, and
William. The honorable title of Baronet des
cended to Patrick, who leaving no descendants
it passed to Georre. the elde-t surviving brother.
Sir George Honstoun, whoso memory i* affec
tionately cherished, wa* a native of Scotland, bnt
came to this country at the age of 12years. Their
a*be# mingle with those of their parents in the
same vault. John lloustoun was one of Geor
gia’s most .talented and distinguished son*. He
was an eminent Jurist, took an important partin
achieving and e*tahli*hing our National indepen
dence, and was Governor of thi* Slate. J une*
was a physician, and William a merchant in this
citv.
Patrick the subject of this obituary notice, wa*
the eldest son if Sir George Houston. But the
title which had descended to him, he declined to
accept, as uncongenial with tlie principles of a
Republican Government nor less so with bis own
patriotic sentiments, and modent, £unn.*»uming
pretensions—No man ever spoke or thought less
of titled ancestor*. It delighted him more to speqk
of their eminent piety, than oftheir civic honers.
He sought and attained to hightcr distinction, than
earthly monarch* can create or confer; the dis
tinction ofhcmg an eminent Christian. In early
Jifo he mariifo-.ted and exemplified, in no ordinary
degree, the virtues and excellencies ofthe Chris
tian character. Blessed with an eminentry pious
mother, be exhibited the benefits of pious purenla
instruction.
Mr. HouMounreceived a public education, and
was graduated at Nassau Hall College, N. J,
in 1794. Ilo studied the profen«ion of tlie law,
at foe celebrated law school in Litchfield, Conn.
Ho practised however hut a short time. A com-
K aratively retired life was more congenial with
is feelings ; and hucIi a life a* hi*, not less useful
Ho sought and cordially embraced apportunitics
of doing good Hi* path through life was that
ofthe just, which shiueth more and more until tlie
perfect day. He was a growing Christian, and
death found him ripe for heaven. * Ho came to
his grave in a full age, like as a shuck of corn
cometh in his season.” Of few, or none, were
tlie qualites of humility, meekness, gentleness and
unyielding integrity more eminently charocterisic,
than of Mr. IIoii*toun.
I/)iig, long 'will hi* momery he revered and
fondly cherished, in the church of which ho was
many years an elder, und to whose spiritual in
terests he was untiringly devoted. That church
has lost a father indeed. In their long privation
of a Pastoi, Mr. Houatonn was their spiritual
guide, and to the full extent of his official prero
gatives, faithfully discharged the ministerial duties.
But his praise imiot limited to that church; it is
in nil our churches.
It were almost needles* to add, that a Christian
of hi* faithfulness, and devoted piety, nndwred
the pains of his lost sickness with no le**cxem-
plany patierre aud resignation ;and that uthi* dy
ing hour was distinguished by perfect calmness
and peace.
‘•Murk tho nerfect man, and behold the upright,
for the end of that man i* peace.”
