Boston. —An express from Halifax to this place, to meet a steamer for Portland, is also talked of.” P, S. —The rain on Saturday afternoon caus ed a suspension of telegraphic operations, which were not resumed throughout the day yesterday, so that we have no tidings from Boston later than 3 o’clock, on Saturday af ternoon. Should the cars this morning, bring us the news, an “Extra Sun,” with full ue tails, Avill be issued at an early hour. — Balti more Sun, 14 th inst. Important prom Havana. —We learn from what we know is creditable authority, that the rumors recently prevalent in this city con cerning an insurrection in Cuba, were not al together destitute of foundation. The Ha vana papers are silent upon the subject, on account of the strict censorship of the press exorcised by the authorities ; but we are in formed that much disturbance has existed up on the island, and numerous arrests have been and continue to be made daily. Among those already arrested we may mention several of the Sanchez family, and also several of the name of Yznaga—influential families of the Island. The information comes to us from such a source that we feel compelled to place reliance upon it.— N. O. Crescent, 11 th inst. IN ADVANCE OF THE MAIL.. CONGRESSIONAL. Saturday, August 12, 1848. In the Senate, the chief subject of delibe ration was the Oregon bill; and a debate was commenced on that subject at 11 o’clock, A. M., and with slight intermission, was contin ued, with great spirit, till 10 o’clock, P; M., at which time Mr. Johnson of Georgia was speaking. The motion pending was Mr. Ben ton’s, the Senate recede from the Senate amendments to the Oregon bill. The Senate Chamber and lobbies were thronged, and there was no prospect of a speedy termination of the discussion. In the House, Mr. C. J. Ingersoll offered the following joint resolution ; which was re ferred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, with the understanding that it will be report ed on at the next session : Whereas, it is as much the right as it is the interest of the people of this, the oldest and freest of confederated republican common wealths, to sympathise and rejoice with all others following oui example, and, above all, that great German n on from whom not only we, but most of our I aglish ancestors and in stitutions are descends i ; therefore — Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Re presentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That their congratulations are tendered to the United Germanic Confe deration lately founded onth° great principles of the sovereignty of the peop e, in sovereign States, to govern themselves vithout heredi tary rulers, whereby forty millions of Ger mans may be peaceably restored to the first rank among great nations ; and that the Pre sident of the United States is hereby request ed to transmit a copy of this resolution through the American ministers accredited to the Ger manic Confederation. The House concurred in the report of the •ommittee of conference touching the disa greeing vote between the two houses upon amendments to the civil and diplomatic bill. The Senate amendments to the post-route bill were disagreed to, excepting such as per tain strictly to the carrying service. The Senate bill granting the right of way and a do nation of land to the State of Illinois, for the construction of a railroad to connect the waters of the Upper and Lower Mississip pi with Lake Michigan at Chicago, was re jected—yeas 74, nays 78. Pending Mr. McLane’s motion to reconsi der, the House, at 3£ o’clock, took a recess till 54 o’clock. [Correspondence of the Baltimore Swn.] SENATE. Saturday Night, Aug. 12, The Senate was in session all night. Various motions were made, immediately after the recess, to get up the Report of the committee of Conference, on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the Army Ap propriation bill, and for that purpose to post pone the consideration of the Oregon Territo rial bill, which the presiding officer (Mr. Niles) had declared to be first in order. From this decision of the chair Mr. Yulee finally appeal ed, and the decision was reversed, 19 to 39. — The report of the committee of Conference was accordingly taken up, and after debate was finally concurred in. The consideration of the Oregon bill was then resumed—Mr. Johnson, of Ga., having the floor—but he gave way to Mr. Webster, who desired to make a few remarks before the question was taken on the motion of the Sen ator f*f &ni Missouri, to recede from their amend ments. Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, replied briefly to the remarks of both Mr. Benton and Mr. Web ster. The debate was continued by Messrs. Hous ton and Foote. A motion was then made to adjourn, and j the yeas and nays were ordered, and the Sen ate refused to adjourn—lß to 32. Mr. Butler rose to a question of privilege, i and wished that certain resolutions published : in the New York Herald of to-day, [in refer- I dice to Gen. Kearney,] which had been offer- I rd in executive session, and, by the publica- 1 tion of which, he said, the rules of the Senate had been violated by the Senator from Mis souri, (Mr. Benton.) He moved to go into ex ecutive session, with a view to consider the subject. Messrs. Mason and Berrien seconded the motion. Mr. Breesc denied the right of the Senator to make ihe motion, while the Oregon bill was pending. Mr. Benton was in favor of having it pro- j cecded with, and with open doors. He was, ; for one, determined to sit here, during the Sabbath, rather than the efforts of those who were talking about a dissolution of the Union should succeed. Mr. Berrien insisted that the action was in order, and should be decided. Mr. Benton thought it not proper that the business of the Senate could be interrupted to settle a quarrel between two members. For if the Senator from South Carolina, or any other, said that he j ad done anything dishon orable, he would ge. the lie in his throat—yes; he would get the lie in his throat —the lie in his throat, [cries of order, order,] and he would have to meet L.m elsewhere, yes, else where, elsewhere. Mr. Butler was ready to meet him there or anywhere else. [Order, order, order.] Mr. Benton repeated what he had before said —“ the lie in the throatand much con fusion and excitement prevafied, with cries of order, order, order, from all parts of the cham ber. The presiding officer desired Mr. Benton to take his seat, and he did, so accordingly, Mr. Bell obtained the floor, and argued at some length the question of privilege, con tending that the motion was not in order, and intimating that it was an effort to defeat the great measure before them. Whether he dis agreed with his Southern brethren or not, he was disposed to do his duty fairly and without flinching. Mr. Benton said that under a pretext for a secret session, a public motion had been made here, by the Senator from South Carolina, di > reeled at him, with a view' to attract atten -1 tion throughout the country. He quarrelled with no man—he had sought —he fought once “to the funeral” —“ to the death”—but he never quarrelled. The presiding officer declared the motion of Mr. Butler to be out of order. Mr. Butler explained the reasons which had induced him to make the motion. He had considered the publication a violation of the rules of the Senate to w’hich he had felt bound to call their attention. He had intended no violation of the order or decorum of the Sen ate, and was alone responsible for what he had done. Mr. Benton considered the remarks of the Senator from South Carolina no satisfaction for the attack which had been made upon him by that Senator and his two seconds —[alluding to the two Senators who had seconded his mo tion.) lie required indemnity. Mr. Mason felt bound to appeal from the decision of the Chair, and the question on sustaining that decision, w'as decided, in the affirmative —38 to 11. The consideration of the Oregon bill was then resumed, and The debate was continued by Messrs. Hous ton, Foote, Butler, Breese, Benton, Bell, Bad ger, Metcalfe, Atchison, Westcott and others. Mr. Westcott, was speaking when this report was sent to the post-office. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. McLane moved to reconsider the vote by which Senate bill was rejected, granting the right of way and donations of land to the State of Illinois for a railroad from Cairo to Chicago. Mr. McL. supported this motion in ! a series of remarks. The motion was reject ed. The bill from the Senate, acted upon last ' night, to carry into effect certain stipulations 1 of the treaty with Mexico, (those in relation to I American citizens,) was taken up, and after several motions.was referred to the committee I on foreign relations. Mr. Cobb moved an adjournment, as so j much confusion prevailed, that it was impos- j sible to do any business. Lost. On motion, of Mr. Rockwell, of Connecti cut, the House went into committee of the whole, and took up Senate bills on the pri vate calender, a number of which were con- | sidered, reported to the House, and passed 1 among them the bill to pay Richard M. John son for the buildings erected for the Choctaw I Academy. A resolution was introduced to make with the “Union” and “Intelligencer” the same arrangement in regard to reporting, which has | already been agreed to by the Senate—but the House refused to suspend the rules to consid er the same. The report of the conference committee on the army appropriation bill was concurred in, and then the House, at about 9 o’clock, A. M., adjourned to 10, A. M., on Monday morning. SENATE. Sunday, Aug. 13th, 6 A. M. Mr. Westcott proceeded, and gave way to a motion by Mr. Lewis to adjourn. Lost, 6 to 27. Mr. W estcott therefore continued his re marks. If this bill were passed to-day, with the restriction of slavery in it, he said, it would I not be met with the executive veto Mr. Foote moved an adjournment, (20 minutes past G,) but the motion was decided in the negative, 10 to 26. Mr. Yulee suggested that they might now j as well proceed to a vote on the subject. Mr. Underwood concurred in the suggestion. f They had done all in their power. He had sat up some eignt or ten nights during the time he was a member of the House, but never had he seen such a scene as he had witnessed j here during the past night. He hoped the practice would be abandoned, as no good had j ever come from it, and that they would amend their rules so as to put it out of the power of any member to defeat or delay the wishes of j the majority. The debate was further contined by Messrs. Atchison, Dickinson, Fitzgerald, Calhoun, Mangum, Douglas, Downs, Butler, Jefferson Divis. Niles, Foote, Westcott and Walker, [A full sketch of the remarks of each of the speakers, has been furnished us by our repor- j ter, but the crowded state of our columns compels us to omit them.] The question was then taken on receding from the several amendments, and it was de cided in the affirmative. So the bill has passed both Houses, without the “ Missouri Compro mise,” and with the “Wilmot Proviso.” The test vote was on receding from the amendment by which the Missouri compro mise had been inserted, and was as follows : Ayes.—Messrs. Allen, Baldwin, Benton, i Bradbury, Breese, Bright, Cameron, Clarke, Corwin, Davis, of Massauhusetts, Dayton, Dickinson, Dix, Douglass, Dodge, Felch, Fitz gerald, Green, Kale, Hamlin, Ilanncgau,Hous ton, Miller, Niles, Phelps, Spruance, Upham, ; Walker, Webster —29.

On moti n of Mr. Dickinson, a bill grant- i ing a pension to Richard Reynolds, a poor j blind man, who had lost his eyes in the ser | vice of his country, was taken up, as Mr. D. ! said, to give Senators an opportunity to do j some good on the Sabbath day, and passed j j unanimously. Then, at 20 minutes to 10, the Senate ad i journed to 9 o’clock to-morrow morning. MARRIED. On Tuesday, loth inst., by the Ilev. Mr. Evan*, Mr. WM. B.
