We, on yesterday, examined a new 1 patent Washing Machine, now to be 1 seen at the United States Hotel, which appears to be entirely superior to any thing in the numerous tribe of inven tions for cleaning the clothes of dirty humanity. It consists of a circular co ver fitting into a tub, on the bottom of ( which are grooves somewhat like a , washboard; these are also on the lid, the pressure of which is regulated by a j' spiral spring, and vibrates back and ■ forth in a semi-circular movement. The | ( reverse action of the water does more , to clean the clothes, than the pressure ; j, consequently the damage from washing j, is less than by any other means. The | ( machine has a “wringer” attached, by || which the water is expressed without j, labor, and without hanging the clothes t at all. This machine is worth l l Compared to any other in use, it takes J* the dilapidated linen off the shrubbery. J County rights are offered for sale. For j j particulars go to the United States !.

Hannuji, j was burned on tne Mississippi River, near St. Genevieve Island, on the Ist !> iust. There were about fifteen passengers ] in all -six ladies, and nine gentlemen, and they all rushed forward and jumped overboard, some on the life floats and planks, and others into the water. Os fifteen passengers only two ladies are certainly known to have been saved.— Others may have reached the shore in safety, arid not since been heard from. The Falls City, which came up about three hours after the disaster, and while the wreck was still burning, brought up eighteen of the crew, but not a single passenger. Two of the ladies had been seen by one of the crew who came up on the Falls City. The following are the names of the persons known to be lost by the burn ing of the steamer Sultan Jas. Pogue, , Albert Pouge, Mrs. Julius Pogue, of Lagrange, Mo.; Mrs. Cheatham, of Ba ton Rouge, La.; S. S. Wolfolk.of Scotts- , villc, 111., Henry Ely, D. D. More, Jos.

Commodores Decatur and Barron. TIIEIR fatal duel. The duel between James Barron and Stephen Decatur, both post-captains in the American navy, took place on the ——<l of March, 1820, at Rladensburg. near Washington. This was the most melancholy of all the fatal combats that ever came off upon that celebrated duel ling ground. Decatur was in the vigor of his manhood, and in the zenith of his fame. The brilliant heroism lie had displayed on several trying occa sions bail fully tested the mettle of the man, and made him the glory of the navy and the pride of the nation. When, therefore, the intelligence gradually spread that Decatur had fallen, a gloom overspread the land, and a nation was bowed in sorrow over his grave. The causes which led to his fatal en counter had been accumulating for a series of years. In 1807, Commodore Barron, then in command of the frigate Ciicsitpeake , left the port of Norfolk, Vir ginia, with his vessel so unprepared for defence that, on meeting the British ship Leopard , he was compelled to lie to, submit his vessel to search, and allow several of his seamen, claimed as Brit ish deserters, to be taken from his decks, without firing a gun. This af fair roused great indignation throughout the country, and was one of the causes of the last war with Great Britain. A Court of Inquiry, which was convened to investigate the conduct of Barron on the occaion, deemed that the facts were suiticiuntly grave to entitle them to the consideration of a court martial. A court martial was subsequently held, and the result was, that Commodore Barron was suspended from the service. Commodore Decatur was a member of both the Court of Inquiry and the Court-martial. this was one cause of Barron’s enmi ty ; for he considered that Decatur hav ing formed and expressed an opinion from hearing the evidence before the Court of Inquiry, could not sit on the Court-martial with a mind unbiased, and therefore he ought not in honor to have sat as one of his judges at all. Another cause was this : Commodore Barron, shortly after his suspension, went abroad and resided in Europe for several years. During his absence the war of 1812 broke out, in which the officers of the American Navy had fre quent opportunities for meeting the vessels of Great Briiain on the element which they hitherto claim as peculiarly J their own, and the result was that they j had fought their vessels into the respect of the world, and covered themselves j w >th glory. After the war was over and peace declared, Commodore Barron ap ; plied for restoration to his rank. This, [Commodore Decatur opposid. He in jsuited that he “ ought not to be receiv ed again into the naval service ; that i there was not employment enough fox all the officers who had faithfully dis charged their duty to their country in tnpkour of trial; and that it would be doing an act of injustice to employ him to the exclusion of any one of them.” In endeavoring to prevent his readmis sion. h. e conceived he “ was performing a aiity he owed to the service, ttlni that | he was contributing to the preservation j of its respectability.” Such were the relations of the parties jup to June 1819. At that timeCommo- I dore Decatur was residing in Washing- Uun City, and Commodore Barron at ; Hampton, near Norfolk, in Virginia— he having returned to this country in 1818. Decatur still continued to op pose the readmission of Barron to the Navy, and in doing so, no doubt express led his opinions freely and unreservedly. ! “Some individual, ingenious in foment !ing quarrelsfor others,” says Macken zie's History, “ contrived to make these ! '»piuions the occasion of a personal dif jticulty ” between them. At any rate, I the remarks of Decatur were so reported [to Barron as to draw from him the fol lowing letter, which was the first of a i series of long communications between (them, marked with great asperity on both sides, and finally resulting in the ' memorable meeting of the 22d of March | following : ] Hampton, Virginia, June 12, 1819. Silt >~I have been informed in Nor j folk that you have said that you could insult me with impunity, or words to that effect. If you have said so, you j will, no doubt, avow it, and I shall ex ! pect to hear from you. James Barron. I | To this Decatur replied, “Whatever t may have thought or mid in the very fre rd and free conversationl I have had ' c speeding you and your conduct, I feel a I thorough conviction that I never could ! have been guilty of so much egotism as Ito say that ‘ 1 could insult you’ (or any (other man) ‘ with impunity.’ ” i Barron apparently accepted this as a | general disavowal, for in replying he jsays, “Your declaration, if I under t stand it correctly, relieves my mind Horn tiie apprehension that you had so degraded my character as I had been induced to allege.” But Decatur was not disposed to have his reply constru ed as a general disavowal. He there fore writes, “I request you to under stand distinctly that 1 meant no more than to disclaim the specific and particular expression to which your inquiry was directed. As to the motives of several gentlemen, they are a matter of perfect indifference to me, as are also your mo tives in making such an inquiry.” This note was dated June 29. Four months now elapsed, and the affair ap peared to be at an end. But during this period Decatur had sent the correspond ence to Norfolk, where it had been read by Barron's friends and comment ed upon. This caused a renewal of the communications between the parties.— Barron, under date of October 23,speaks ot the “rancor” exhibited by Decatur toward him ; of the “cruel and unmer ited sentence” passed upon him by the court of which he had been a member ; and of the hopes he had entertained, ; after an exile of nearly seven years, that Decatur would have now suffered ] him to enjoy the solace that his lacera ted feelings required. He adds, “lam also informed that you have tauntingly | and boastingly observed that you would | cheerfully meet mo in the field, and ! hoped I would yet act like a man.” He characterizes such conduct toward one situated as he is, and oppressed as he has been chiefly through Decatur’s means, as unbecoming an officer and a ! gentleman. He considers Decatur as having given the challenge, which he accejds. “ I flatter myself,” says he, “from your known personal courage, that you would disdain auv undue ad vantage which your superiority in the use of the pistol, and the natural de fect in my vision, increased by age, would give you.” Decatur replies in a letter of great length. He had not sent the corres pondence to Norfolk, he says, until three months after its conclusion. If it had alienated his friends from him, such effect was to be attributed to the correspondence itself. The papers spoke for themselves ; he had sent them with- I out written comment. . He declares that there has never been . any personal difference between them ; but that he entertained, and still does • entertain the opinion, that his conduct ; as an officer, since the affair of the Clues . apeal.-e, has been such as ought forever • to bar his re-admission in the service.— ' He then gives the facts on which he . grounds this opinion ; that Barron had . stated to the British Consul at Pcrnam i buco, that if the Chesapeake had been i prepared for action lie would not have resisted the attack of the leopard, as he knew there were deserters on board his i ship: that the President of the United i States knew there were deserters on board, and of the intention of the Brit . ish to take them ; and that the Presi i dent caused him to go out in a defense : 1 ess _ state, for the express purpose of : having his ship attacked and disgraced, and thus attaining the favorite object ■ of involving the United States in a i war with Great Britain. Decatur’s in , formant added, “I am now convinced ■ that Barron is a traitor : for I can call . by no other name aman who would talk i in this way to an Englisman.” Decatur then pointedly suggests that, : as the affair of the Chesapeake excited i the indignant feelings of the nation and . was one of the causes that produced I the war, it behoovod Barron to take an i active part in that war, for his own i sake, patriotism out of the question.— : But tlrat, instead of being in the fore most ranks on an occasion which so em phatically demanded his best exertions, : he remained abroad, without manifest ing any disposition to return home, al though various opportunities were daily : occurring, and though urged by his friends to do so. ■With regard to Barron's considering himself as challenged, Decatur says, “I never invited you to the field, nor have : I expressed a hope that you would call : me out. I stated that if you made the call I would meet you ; but that, on all 1 scores, I should be much better pleased to have nothing to do with you. Ido not think that fighting duels, underany circumstances, can raise the reputation of any man, and have long since dis covered that it is not even an unerring j criterion of personal courage. I should I regret the necessity of fighting with ] any man ; but in my opinion, the man ! who makes arms his profession is not at liberty to decline an invitation from any person who is not so far degraded as to I be beneatlr his notice. Having incau- 1 tiously said I would meet you, I will not consider this to bo your case, al-, though you may think so ; and if I had , not prledged myself, I might reconsider I the case. As to my skill in the use of '' the pistol, it exists more in your imagi nation than in reality. For the last 1 twenty years I have had but little prac- j tice, and the disparity of our ages, to which you have been pleased to refer, is, I believe, not more than five or six I years.” [continued to-morrow.] — Crime in New York.

A communication was received from ■ the Secretary of the Navy, suggesting ; that the U. S. ship of the line Franklin ' be converted into a steamer. Mr. Seward presented a petition from ' citizens of New York praying for the 1 pa»sage of a general bankrupt law. : Mr. Stuart rose to a question of privi ' lege. It was in relation to the reten ' tion by the secretary of the Senate, of ' the Kansas hill, which was ordered to ; be sent to the House, with the informa " tion concerning the action of that body ’ on the Montgomery—Crittenden amend- I merit He understood that it had been 1 retained at the request of the Senator • from Louisiana (Mr. Slidell,) who thought he might desire to move for a r reconsideration, lie proceeded to show - that this retention was contrary to the 5 rules, and inimical to the interests of the country. By such a course a Sena -1 tor might defeat the passage of any bill • passed by the Senate within two days of ‘ the close of a session. Mr. Slidell expressed why he desired ' to retain the bill, namely ; that he might desire to move to reconsider the vote thereon. He concluded that he ' had the right to order the hill to be ; kept in the custody of the Senate for two days, both under the rules and by uniform usage. He denied that the I Senate had ordered the bill to be sent ■ to the House. i Mr. Stuart contended that the Senate ’ had made such an order, and denied the 1 right of the Senate to retain the bill.— 1 Fie urged that the reason why it had 1 been retained was to delay the passage ' of the bill by obstructing its intercom : munication between the two Houses of i Congress. Mr. Bayard asserted that the right to ‘ retain the bill was certainly one possess -1 ed by the Senate, as established by the rules and usage. Mr. Dottgla- took the same view of the matter as that advanced by Mr. 1 Stuart, and contended that the Secreta • ry should not have retained the bill at the ipse dixit of a single Senator. Such a course was an interference with the : business of Congress, and highly preju dical to the interests of the country. Tire presiding officer said that if any wrong had been done by the Secretary in retaining the bill, be was to blame, : for the Secretary had asked him about : the matter, anil that he directed him to ■ retain the bill on being informed by the Secretary that such was the general i custom. ; Mr. Bright said that the course usual s ly pursued was for a Senator, if he ■ wished a bill to be retained, with a view to reconsideration, to suggest to the • presiding officer to have it retained. If the gentleman from Louisiana had been ■ guilty of any wrong, it was in giving an order to the Secretary instead of con ferring with the president of the Senate. i The discussion was further continued, I ; | when Mr. Bright moved a reconsidera ■! tion of the vote by which the Senate i i non-concurred in the House amendment; I to the Kansas bill. The further consid i oration of the subject was postponed , ■ until to-morrow. ! Senate then proceeded to theeon ■ | sideration of the bill for the admission t j of Minnesota into the I'nion ; and after , coming to a conclusion on the subject-, t the Senate adjourned. 1 house.

Thirteen out of sevenfeeen Councilmen elected ' are opposed to the Lecompton Consti . tution. 5 The condition of the New York hanks shows the extreme difficulty at the . present time of employing money profitably. These tianks hold about , thirty four and a half millions of dollars ! in specie, and they were able to increase | j their loans last week only two hundred | and seventy one thousand dollars. This j fact proves that there is yet but a very | moderate revival of business and that there is not safe employment for the [large accumulations of capital in the country. Commercial intelligence.
