ASSAULT ON MR. SUMNER. UVaniGros, May 23.—Senate.—Mr. Wilson ■fr. President, the seat of my colleague i to-day. For the lirst time, after five years I public service, that seat is vacant. Yesterday, ] j# ;he touching tribute of respect to the memo- I ■ a deceased member of the House of Repre- j .-rati ves, the Senate adjourned. My colleague -gained iti his seat, engaged in Ins public duties. I \V:>ii<* thus engaged, with pen in hand, in a posi- j L -n which reudered him utterly incapable of pro , -mg or defending himself, Mr. Preston S. I 'j , wks, a member of the House of Represent*- I approached him unobserved and abruptly i: iressed him. Looking up, and before be had ,sie to utter a single word in reply, he received a <v upon the head from a cane held in the hands | ; Mr. Brooks which nearly stunned him, and j ldc him almost utterly unconscious. Eudeavor i however, to protect himself, in rising from his j ;i.r his desk was overthrown; and, while in that adition, he was beaten upon the head and slioul- ! ■ by repeated blows until lie sank upon the j I rof the Senate, exhausted, unconscious, and j , rered with lus own blood. He was raised from , :e floor, and taken into an ante-room, where his ; unds were dressed; and by some friend* he n carried to his home and placed upon his bed. \> is, therefore, unable to be with us to-day to | -rform the duties that belong to him ai a member : this body. To assail a member of the Senate 1 ; words spoken in debate, out of this chamber, ] , 4 grave offence, not only against the rights of J j;,, but against the constitutional privileges of a J -mber of this body ; but, sir, to come into this I :üb-*r, and assault a member in his seat until j falls exhausted upon this floor, is an offence re- I airing the action of this body. Sir, I submit no j j ..jii 1 leave it to older Senators, whose char- j 3 i-r a<e! whose position in this bodv and before i tie country eminently fit them to take the lead in j ..-a-itres to redress the wrongs of a member of I iLis body, and to vindicate the honor and dignity i tht* Senate. .Mr. Seward then submitted the following reso- lhmcommittee of five members be . punted by ihe President jtro tem. to inquire iu tliv* circumstances attending the assault cont ■lll,loll tin* person of the Hon. diaries Sitni •t, a member of the Senate, in the Senate rhain yesterday, and that the said t om mittee he in . i ied to report a statement of the facts togeth . h their opinion therein, to the Senate.

Mr. Campbell, of Ohio—Mr. Speaker, ! submit the following preamble and resolution ! o a privileged question, md demand the previous j question: IVuERKvs, On the 22d oi .May, Jsfif., Hon Pres ' ’tt S. Brooks and Hon. Lawrence M. Keitt, inem irts of tilts House from the State of South Caro- 1 'urn, and oilier members, either as principals or ! wcssorics. perpetrated a violent assault upon the son of tiie lion. Charles Sumner, a Senator of i rutted States from the State of Massachusetts, whilst remaining in his seat in the Senate chant- 1 n*r, in tlie performance of duties pertaining to its official station: therefore '■!, That u select coinmittee of five he ap iuted by the Speaker to investigate the subject, aid to report the facts, with sucii resolutions in ; reference thereto as, in their judgment tnavhcpro- ; ;* r and uecessarv for the vindication of the ! •Itarucler of this House, and that .--aid coinmittee ; tve power to send for person.- and papers, and to . mplov a clerk. Also, to sit during the sessions j of the House. Mi. Brooks, of South Carolina, immediately in the reading of the resolution, attempted to ■jet ihe tl >or, hut, being pressed by his friends, ; ■at dm\ n. Mr. Clingmun. of North Carolina, objected to consideration of the resolution us out of or der at this time, and referred the Chair t > a decis lt of the House made only a week since in a sint i: c.iv. lb- asked the Speaker to decide wheth the principle there settled by the House on a -.ate ,if u-.is and nays did not govern this case, .ad nt-c. -ss.irilv exclude it from the eoiisideraiion t the House, lie wished the point decided Ite :>* Hie resolution wa- li-cussed. \j- smith, of Virginia, suggested to the gentle :.,an not to interfere with this question of order in ’—half of the gentleman alluded to in the resoin ,in lie also suggested to the gentleman from Ohio who ottered the resolution, the propriety of ■n ..lin ing it bv striking out the preamble altogeth- The preamble assumed a certain state ol tacts «!u. h could not be known until ‘be proposed e\- ainition bad taken place. Mr. Campbell said that, if the fact was disputed, lie would modify the resolution so that it would lead, " whereas it is represen'ed," Ac. Mr. Smith, of Virginia, thought the preamble had better be stricken oh! altogether, as the facts acted in ii were untrue. .■several members rcitrr.it -d the charge of ihe untruth of tie* preamble. Mr. Campbell stated that the object of the reso lution was simply to bring the facts before the House in uu authentic torm. It was duo to the House,’due t • the parties implicated in this matter, and due to the country, that the fads should be presented in some antlien i * way through a com mittee, who would examine fidly and fairly all the facts connected with the unfortunate or -urn nee. Mr. Clingtnan was fully satisfied that the state ment in the preamble was a gross falsehood, lint did not object to the proceedings on that ground. He again insisted that the Speaker should deride the point of ord< t made by him before any discus -ion arose on the resolution, and objected to all debate. The Speaker replied that, objection being made ta the reception of the preamble and resolution, it ! was the dutv of the Chair to decide the question of "filer. H was the opinion of the Chair that the resolution involved a question of privilege, and he put his decision on this ground, distinguishing this case from the one referred to bv Mr. Cling- ' man If a personal difficulty occurred between two membi rs of the House, either during its session or umediatelv on the adjournment, growing out of proceedings in the House, the Chair was of pinion lhat it would be legitimately a question of j ■ tallege. Mstuv precedents, involving similar cir .'lances, sustained him in this decision. This ”r (littered front tiie one just supposed in one {•articular. The resolution referred to a difficulty between a member of the House and a member of ’he Senate, which made it one remove from the House of Representatives ; but, inasmuch as Sen ators ate covered by the Constitution with the same privileges as the members of ilm Mouse of Representatives, the Chair was of the opinion, when a question was raised or charge made of a member of the House interfering with the privi leges of a member of the Senate, that it was his duty to receive the resolution a- a question of priv ilege. Mr. Clingman appealed ti nt the decision ot the Chair. Ml. Campbell wished to suv to the gentleman from North Carolina. Mr. Clingman ' that inas much as the remarks uhich had just fallen from his lips charged that the preamble contained state ments which were not true Mr. Clingman.—lt is my opinion that thev arc not true. Mr. Campbell -‘‘ln you opiuion.” 1 suppose it is universally admitted that this occurrence lias taken place, and that these parties were concerned tn it. I modify the resolution, however, so as to insert these words. ‘‘Whereas it r<pir*r„te,i that on the 22d ot May,” Ac. He wished to do no wrong to either of the par uas; his purpose was simply to have a true state- Ji*nt of the facts presented to the House He un i derstood that the Senate had, without a dissenting voice, raised a committee to investigate the mat i A member—W ell, it is their business, and not l ours. j H r ‘ Campbell hoped that no objection would be made to the resolution as modified. Mr. Clingman said that a week ago, when a res olution was introduced as a question of privilege charging a member with having assaulted and committed a crime against another person, that the House decided that it was not a question of ' P nvl e « e > f t] *us .. mak ' n K « distinction between a j member of the House and any other person The Speaker now decided that because in this case the ! J? erso , n in J' ,n ,- d was ? Senator, that the case was dll i jvreut and the resolution of inquiry was a ones- i non of privilege. He held that thw made no dif ft-rence; that the Senate had the right to protect 1 ! ul ' Pnvileges but that the House had no I j £"****»«■ If ’ i ! 1 thi * a Senator had j I eT '. Vor(Ls s P° ken in debate contra- j , \ to the Constitution, which provided that no ! ; Senator or member of the House shall be called to I account for words spoken in debate, the Senate ! w-as competent to protect its own rights, and had 1 already taken steps to do so, and the House had i no right to look upon a Senator in any other light loan as a private individual, so far as concerned in j | a matter of this kind. There \A-as nothiug in the 1 j rules or in the Constitution which authorized the : I House to take anv official steps to protect the I rights of Senators. They were protected, as was] i every citizen, by the laws of the country, and had i ; the right to protect themselves, and he'saw no rea- i son whatever for the distinction which the Speak- i , er made between this case and the one recently de ; cided bv the House. «He regretted that the gentleman from Ohio [Mr ; I Campbell liad introduced the resolution. He had { i tiik( ‘ii pains to inquire of persons who had seen ; die aif.tr, atid thought it due to state that the lire- ! j amble to the resolution was a gross falsehood, and ! , most infamous and libellous, as far as one, perhaps ‘ l both, ot the gentlemen named in it were concerned. J He thought it due to sav this because the resole i tiou went to the country, and somebody might j suppose that it contained the truth. He wished to j stamp it as false. Mr. Campbell rose. Mr. Clingman did not charge it upon the .'en tleinan. He did not charge the gentleman with having made the statement with the intention of falsehood or the desire to do wrong. He could refer to several cases in support of the point of or i j der he had made, lie had taken occasion to look [ into the decision of the House in the case of i Graves and Cillev. When that case was brought I up, Mr. Adams, of Massachusetts, took ground t in tavor of Graves, and the House ultimately came to the conclusion that they would not inves- ' tigate it. Mr. Campbell desired simply to state that in his I action m this matter he had not been actuated by any spirit of unkindness towards either of the j parties. His personal relations with the "-entle- 1 men named in the resolution had always been i those of friendship. He deemed that a proceed- j ingof this kind, was demanded by the dignity of the '' ' House and demanded in order that they might have i anther, tie unit correct information in reference to this : ; unfortunate occurrence in the Senate. Ten thou- i sand rumors had gone out. and this was the only i tva\ by which the House anil the country could he informed as to the character of the difficulty. Mr. Caine, of North Carolina, inquired of the 1 gentleman whether this resolution was the result j ot an v concert of action bet ween members of the ! ■ House outside ot the hall and in caucus? j 1 Mr. Campbell replied that there had been no ! caucus acting upon this subject. Not one word : had he heard lisped from the members of any par- \ 1 tv in regard to holding a caucus in reference to it. i 1 He was influenced by the dictates of his own judo-- 1 merit in regard to the cr e. The original draught- ' 1 ed resolutions might, perhaps, have been a little ' too strong in asserting facts positively as to the a<- j ’ sault; but he knew one thing from his own per- ! ' sonal observation- and that was, that he saw Sen- 1 a tor Scanner lving in a room adjoining the Senate 1 chamber with gashes cut into his head clear to the t bene, and blood flowing all over him. Who per- ! , petrated the outrage he did not know, except what he had heard from members. 1 •' The Speaker stated, in reply to the suggestion of ! the gentleman from North Carolina, thai this was ! a similar case to that decided in the House a week ] or tivo since, that the Chair made this distinction; i { that in that case a member Avas charged Avith hav ! ing assaulted a citizen away from the Capitol, and ! for wliat cause was not known by the Chair, and i 1 not represented to the House. In this case ii was ! charged in the preamble to the resolution that a . 1 member of the House has assaulted a member of j ) the Senate ivhile in his scat. Mr. Craige, of North Carolina. —Not while the 1 Senate was in session. The Speaker The language of the resolution ’ was that the assault occurred while the member ' of the Senate Was in his seat. The ('hair under- : stood that, as a matter of privilege, the Senate j 1 had no cognizance over a member of the House j c for any violation of its privileges. The House * was the protector of its oath privileges, and the 1 Chair trould not recognise the right of the Sen- ‘ I ate, as a matter of privilege, to interfere with any j : member of the House either in the House or else- ’ where; but it belonged to the House, if a mem- 1 her of the House had in any wav violated the pri- 1 vileges of the Senate, or of any Senator, to make inquiry into that violation as the only tribunal that has poAV.'r under the Constitution to luvesti gate the question of privilege. Therefore, the * Senate being a co-ordinate branch of the govern- * inent, the Chair was of opinion that the facts 1 stated, and the resolution presented, involved * such a question of privilege that it was not author- ' * ized to refuse, if the Chair had no cognizance of ■ the facts, and they did not involve the privileges ' of am member of the House, executive depart- . ’ incut or Semite, it would refuse to decide, and re- ' fer the question to the House ; but if there was a j statement of fa- ts presented, and a resolution ha-- ! ed upon those facts, that there had been an assault ■!' committed upon one of the members while in his s seat, or upon the Executive ot the I'liited States 11 while in the performance of his duties, the Chair j 11 would coin ’.••nti'Hiidy decide it as a question of privilege. The Chair cited as a precedent the ac tion of the House of Representatives in the case of an assault committed by a member upon the private secretary of the President of the United States, which fact was transmitted to the House of Representatives by the President in a special , message, and upon which subject a committee of inquiry and investigation was appointed. Sub sequently, the Speaker stated that he had not been a party to any deliberation or consultation in this matter, and that he knew nothing of it until the resolution had been read from the Clerk’s ■ desk. I Mr. Campbell moved to lay the appeal of Mr. 1 Clingman from the decision of the ('hair on the table. After some discussion, the question was taken, and it was agreed to yeas 85, nays 71. Mr. Campbell moved the previous question on the passage of the resolution. Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, appealed to the gentleman to withdraw the eall for the previous question, and allow the resolution to he discussed. Mr. Campbell declined. Mr. Orr, ot South Carolina, said that, if the ques tion was not to be debated, he thought it ought not to be voted upon, and therefore moved a call of the House; which motion was disagreed to veas tit, nays 95. Mr. Brook-, of South Carolina, asked leave to make a personal explanation. Mr. Trafion, of Massachusetts, objected ; but, after some solicitation, withdrew the objection. Mr. Brooks simply intended to remark that when he arose before, not one word of violence would have escaped him in violation of the order of the House. He only desired then, and desired now, to take the responsibility upon himself; and he would state to the House in reply to the gentleman from 1 Ohio, that not a human being on this earth knew when or where the transaction intended would oc cur. Mr. McQueen, of South Carolina, inquired of the j gentleman from Ohio if he (lid not know that a| criminal prosecution had been commenced against his colleague . Mr. Brooks; in hot haste in this j District, and that he had_ been held to answer to : the country for any offence he had committed i against its laws, when he thus sought to arraign him before the bar of the House in what looked ; like a criminal proceeding. Mr. Campbell stated that he had no desire to i place any part*, certainly no member of the House, in a false position. He could see no force in the j allusion ot the gentleman from South Carolina, in reference to the judicial proceedings that had ta- \ i ken place. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, called the attention of Mr. Campbell to the declaration of Mr. Brooks, l and suggested a modification of his resolution ac- j cordingiy. Mr. Tlaveu, of New York, desired to sav that lie i was with the gentleman from Ohio as to the pro- i prietv of an investigation, but thought it unjust to include both the names of Mr. Brooks aud Mr. Keilt in the resolution. He appealed to him as to ihe proprietv of taking out the name of Mr. Keilt. Mr. Campbell said that, having heard the repre eination of the gentleman from South Carolina, Mr. Brooks, i and his assurance, and having no desire to be instrumental in doing personal injus tice, directly or indirectly, to any one, he would j modify his resolution so as to leave out the name .if Mr! Keitt, but retain the others. After some further discussion, the demand for the previous question was seconded—ayes 64, noes C6—and the main question ordered to be put— veas 93, noes 6S. * The question was then taken on the resolution , as modified by inserting the words “« t is c*r><’t l after the words “whereas, ’ in the pream , ble, and by striking out Mr. Keitt’s name, and it r was adopted—yeas 93, nays 68 —a* follows: Yms —Messrs.

Keitt, Avhen hisname was called, said that he wished to state to the House that, as his name was withdrawn from the resolution he would vote ; but if it had been retained in it he would not have voted. As, however, it was introduced in the res olution in connection «-ith the matter, he wished to say, in voting, that he did not know the time or the place when this act would he committed. He was behind the chair of the President at the time with a gentleman from his own State, who had just arrived, and he did not see the beginning of it. Therefore, he had not the slighest concert witli his colleague, nor did he know where it would occur. He voted “no.” Mr. Campbell moved to reconsider the vote bv which the resolution was adopted, and that that motion lie upon the table; which aa-us agreed to— yeas --7, nays tit. The Speaker immediately appointed Messrs. Campbell, of Ohio, Allison, of Pennsylvania, Cobb, of Georgia, Greenwood, of Arkansas, and Spin ner, of New \ork, to act as the committee of in vestigation. Subsequently, Mr. Allison was excused from ser vice on the committee, and Mr. Pennington, of New Jersey, appointed in his stead. From the New Tori Journal of Commerce , Jr. The Royal Literary Fund. On Wednesday evening the anniversary dinner j of the Royal Literary Fund was held at the Free I Masons’ Tavern, his Royal Highness, the Duke of Cambridge, in the chair. After the health of Her Majesty and (he Royal Family had been duly hon ored, and the other loyal and patriotic toasts drank, hi- Royal Highness then gave “The Liter ature and Science of the United States and his Excellency the American Minister,” dwelling with much force on the union that ought to aud must exist between the two nations, and expressed his belief that nothing was so calculated to promote the sympathy and friendship of the two coun tries as a common literature in the same lan guage. The toast was received with repeated cheering. Mr. Dallas, the American Minister, then rose, and was received with most emphatic and long continued applause. He said after thanking, as now I do, his Royal Highness for recognizing bv this toast the literature and science of mv country, and alter thanking this company for having re ceived this toast with impressive cordiality, it would perhaps be most prudent for me to re sume my seat and to avoid the risks necessarily incident to tin* handling of a subject which I can not pretend to be master of— A little learning is a dangerous tiling, Drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring.

The Palmerston Administration. lhe result of Mr. VV liiteskle’s motion, attributing the capitulation ol Kars to “ihe want of foresight ami energy on the part of Her Majesty’s Adminis tration,” does not materially alter' the position of Lord Palmerston’s Cabinet in the House of Com mons ; nor does it necessarily follow, because a majority of that House refused to affirm the ill- ill-judged and perhaps unjust censure of Mr. \\ hiteside, that it was intended by so doing to express confidence m or approval of the Premier and his government. The House refused to attri bute the fall of Kars to the neglect of the Minis try. because they believed that that disaster was really attributable to the apathy or disobedience of the British Vinbassador at Constantinople, Lord Stratford de Redelille. The House abstained from (•ensuring the government for retaining Lord Strat ford in that embassy, because, from his long resi dence at Constantinople, his great influence with Porte, his intimate knowledge of Turkish affairs, and the necessity of maintaining the predomi nance of England over French and other influ ences, in that capital, his recall, merited though it was a personal rebuke, might have been produc tive of very disastrous results at the time, hi the debate on the Whiteside motion, the majority of the votes were certainly for the Government, for the reasons alleged; but the speech... those especially of Sir dames Graham and Mr. Lavard were against tin ni. The relations of parties in the House of Com mons still continue the same, and the Minister to day borne proudly on the wave of popularity is exposed to the danger of finding liiiuself to-mor row left powerless and stranded by the receding tide. \\ itbin the last three weeks of the month ol April, the Government were defeated upon eight separate occasions. On tiie Scotch Militia Hill, mi the Shipping Dues Hill, on Lord John Russell’s Education project, three times im Mr. Spooner’s motion to repeal the grant to the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth Ireland ,on Lord Goderich’s motion to enlarge the competition for candidates for appointments in the civil service, and in the House ot Lords on the Cham-Ttor’s Church Discipline Hill, the Ministry found them selves in a considerable minority. These are said, by Ministerialists, to open questions, as distinct from “Government questions,” to wlneli the Min istry are not committed, and upon which, to be in a minority . is no proof of their unpopularity, or of their inability to carry on the administration with u.sefujiiess arid honor ; and though defeat on those questions may not amount to absolute censure or au expression of want of confidence, it must be admitted that majorities in both Houses voting so repeatedly within so short a time in opposition to the occupants of the Treasury Benches, betokens a dislocation of parties and an absence of that con solidated confidence on the part of the Legislature, which is peculiarly dangerous at the present mo ment, if not directly indicative »f definite defeat. It must be remembered that Lord Palmerston was called to office at a time when Lord Aberdeen bad forfeited the confidence of the nation, and was forced to abandon the helm of affairs, and after Lord Derby bad refused whether from unwilling ness or inability— to undertake the onerous task. Invested with ministerial power because no other combination was possible. Lord Palmerston has certainly received the support of the people as their instrument for the conduct of the struggle to which they had committed themselves, but he has never been their leader; lie has been their servant ranter than their ehiei, the acceptor rather than the dicta tor of a policy, hi Parliament his Cabinet has only been recognized as a political necessity, it has never been a parliamentary power. Majorities pronounc ed in its favor, rather to shelter the Government at a time of great danger and difficulty from the schemes of ambitious discontent and the machina tions of faction, than to express an unqualified confidence in, and approval of those to whom the direction of affairs had been entrusted. Clothed with tli.- limited functions of a government of ne cessity, afflicted with all the infirmities of a gov ernment of sufferance, bis ministry have been continually exposed to the danger wfiieh necessa rily atieuds a maiont y, by means of which j an administration may to-dax carry its measures ; with triumph, and to-morrow be compelled to suf- j fer the most galling defeat, lending a precarious support at the same time that it threatens proxi- * mate opposition. Such was the lot to which Lord Palmerston’s i ministry were predestined by the conditions of their formation ami the circumstances attending their call to office : and while none but the factious or the disloyal would have opposed his measures for the management of the war and his negoti ations for peace, or have added to the inherent weakness ol his position, the time is now ap proaching when this forbearance will cease, the cause which called into being no longer operating, j and when the Cabinet will he called upon to ren der an account of their stewardship, upon other i subjects of vital interest and importance to (he people of England, than the conduct of the war. ; It is suggested that Lord Palmerston will en deavor to strengthen his party bv forming a coali tion with some of those who" are now ranked ' amongst his opponents. The names of Sir Janies ; Graham, Hon. Sidney Herbert, and even Mr. Glad stone are mentioned as among those of the Peel- j ; ites to whom offers of alliance have been made. Should lie fail in this attempt to remodel his gov ernment, and rally round himself a party acting | on principle and community of action, he will be j compelled to re.-ign the reins of office into other 1 hands, or else dissolve Parliament and appeal to \ • the people. All parties agree that the Ministry, ! as at.present constituted, cannot exist much Inn- ; ger without loss of honor and self-respect. A j government to conduct the destinies of a nation i successfully, -lionld he enabled to walk boldly in ! j the light of its own honest convictions, and not to j be compelled to grope for a policy, deeming itself i fortunate if it can escape disaster or defeat by su pitteness or sacrifice ot principle. Such a power, the Palmerston Ministry have never possessed, i and never can possess so tongas the relations of parties in the House ol Commons remain in their present disorganized aud anomalous condition. ■ ■■■in'll |l AY.—Jo hales Eastern II \V, a choice se ll B lectod lot, for sale In LEWIS k ALLEN, my2o No. 1 Warren Block, ON CONSIGNMENT A few half tierces RICE, a choice article. —ALBO - FLOUR, OATS, BACON and COW PEAS, M No. 7, Warren Block, by a»y9S K.
