It was upon a resolution] iutrndured by .Mr Attains for the appointment of a select committee to inquire iuto the Causes of the failure o f the 3 millions. In the course of bis remarks, lie adverted to an expression made a few days since by Air Webster, that “he would not liavc vottd for the appropriation, had the en emy been at the gates of the Gapitob" Mr A. declared, “that the man who held ami express ed such sentiments, had hut one step further to go, stud that a natural one—to joiu the cutmics of bis "country !” The effect of this was electric. A most extra ordinary amt almost uoparallelled sccue took place. A spontaneous hurst of applause broke from almost every part of the Hall. “It came sudden, (says a very graphic spectator.) quick, unexpected" Concert could not have pr .duced any thi-.tg !iko it. Imagiue, if you please, that y.iit are standing in a calm, clear day, in a lofty edifice, where all is quiet ami stillr when a sin gle holt strikes the building 10 atoms, aud you may form some idea of the manner of tins thing. The older memlicia, when matters became set tled, rose and stated that such au occurrence was hitherto unknown.’’ Air *\ ise followed, hut did not finish before the adjournment. He spoke with great animation, dealing Ins blows nghl au<| left, making an onset ou Mr * 'amlire- leug, not sparing even the Speaker in his chair. In speaking of the memorable scenes of the last iibbi of the session, he described some of the nu mbers as sleepy, some tired, some as noisy, ami. some as drunk! Tho Washington correspondent of tho Balti more Patriot gives a particular, graphic, and we s.tspcet, a tolerably impartial sketch of Mr Adams'remarkable speech. He says the “at tack upon ,Mr Webster was gratuitous, but pow erful bevond any thing (be) ever listened to.” Wo lay "this accouut ol tlie speech before our readers: , .. “.Mr Adams now commenced by alluding to the declarations which had recently beeu made in at: other place, that to that House belonged tlt't rcspousiiuhty of losing the Fortification Bill, lie weutoui to animadvert upon the opinions & declarations which had been made in that place, which he said were untrue,and not warranted by facts. As be began to grow severe, tne Speak er reminded him that the Rules of the House did not permit a member to animadvert upon the pro- ccedirgs of the Senate. .Mr Adams said he did nut say anything about the Senate ; he spoke of a place; he’ did not say what place. It was left with the members of that House to associate-in their minds'the Senate of the United States or anv other body with that place that ho spoke of, See. Mr Adams then went on. The members in great numbers began to flock round hint. It was palpable that something tremendous was anticipated. And true enough, the orator began to bear down upon the Senate with renewed sar casm. Air Mercer now called him to order and stated the poiut of order. The Speaker decided that lie had no authority to pul a construction upon Mr Adams’ words.'aod therefore as lie did not name the Scuale ho ooflltl not say that lie was out of order. (Here cries of “go ou-go on” were utt'-red by many members.) Mr A. went on more and more severe. Mr. Mercer ngnio called him to order and reduced the objectionable words to writing. Another mem her made oue or two unsuccessful efforts to “say a few words,” hut consoled himself as well as he could by giving utterance to a few vollics of round oaths in an under tone) at the disorderly state of things. The worth Mr Mercer took dowu, Air Adams Would uotaduiil to he his. Tho Nctv YoiTi. Wo have been permitted to make the follow ing extract from a letter received here : “New Fork, Jan. 21, I83G. “You have doubtless ere this, heard of the great disaster which lately befel our city, to gether with the particuluis—nearly six hundred buildings chiefly stores, ol the first class were burned, by which 15 Insurant e companies were ruined. Wo observe tltat the _ impression exists abroad that our eitv is entirely destitute of Goods; so far from there being a scarcity, the assort ments were never larger nor better, aud the late arrivals from Europe have completely replenish ed the market. Those merchants who were so unfortunate as to be burned out, have all procu red stores and the majority of them are now ready to see their mercantile friends.” CANADA. We have kept our eyes upon the sayings aud doings «>( our triends in the provinces, for some time past, hut our iime and columns have been so completely engrossed by the concentrating trou bles of.our own government and people, with France, and Mexico, and the Sem'moles, and the Abolitionists, nud Mr Barton, and Mousit-ur I’a- geot, and the great fire, that we have not been "- hie to bestow much editorial attention upon the Canadas. Nevertheless, the movements in that quarter begin to assume quite an interesting as pect, anti we shall not lie iu the least surprised to hear of some rather serious quarrelling there in due season. The latest *boti? to gnaw’ that has been thrown before the public, is a proclamation of Lord Gosford, Captain General and Governor, &.c &-c. U seems that a number of British residents, conceiving tho connexion of the provinces with the mother eouutry, and their own rights and lib erties. to he endangered, by the revolutionary doctrines and proceedings of the House of Assem- blv, had organizetl them-elvcs tn miiitaire., under the name of the British Rifle Corj>s, with the in tent of lending their aid as circumstances might require, in maintaining the constitution ami pre serving the rights aud privileges thereby conferred! This incasuie it seems, has afflicted the radical propensities of Lord Gosford. and has elicited from his excellency a solemn proclamation, in which he denounces the British Rifle Corps oil various grounds of misconduct ai d evil iuletniou, ami especially for having usurped his gubernato rial privilege, by plat ing tho royal arms at the head of their published notices—a liberty which his losdsltip seems to thiuk highly censurable. He therefore declares it and the other doings of 1 lie corps, unconstitutional aud. illegal ; solemnly warns all his majesty’s liege subjects to abstain from taking any part therein ; calls upou and commands all magistrates nod officers charged wi’h the conservation of the peace, to repress all such illegal and daugerous proceedings ; aud up on all the liege subjects of his majesty to be ac tively aiding the aforesaid magistrates and offi cers, iu the performance of the duties sd enjoined and charged upou them. What course the Rifle Corps will take in this emergency, remains to be seen, the papers inti mate that they will scarcely submit without at least an effort at resistance. N J" Com. Some of the Northern papers are already pou ring out their sympathy, not for their suffering fellow citizens in Florida, but for the murderous Ind : ans and negroes who are cutting their throaist AVe trust the people of the South will have too much self respect to patronise Newspapers which propagate such seulinieuts. We take the fol- ovving from that Tappanite paper, the New York Journal of Commerce : “Alt, wrll-a-dav,—this is the last and the most desperate struggle «>fthe Indian. He fights now gloriously and gallantly,—with tho spirit of a thousand lions in his breast.—for the sod oil which he was horn, and which was Lis just inheritance front his ancestors.

The spirit of their tribe,--the Great Spirit walking in the sky,- tells them that they must perish. The voice af their fathers calls them to their home,— to theonlv horns which the white utan has left them,—the grave. The preventive pow er of this Government is nothing; but its vengeance is tcirih|c, as the poor Indian has more than oitco experienced.
