Washington, May 30, 1838.
Immediately after tho J mrnal of tho House of
Representatives was read this morning, Mr. Gad
land, of Louisiana, rose, and said ho had the
pleasure of announcing what would be Highly
gratifying to a large portion of tho members to
hoar—that the people ot Mississippi had ro.atlirm,
cd the election of Messrs. Prentiss and Word
as their representatives in the 251 h Congress, and
that those gentlemen arc are now present and
ready to ho qualified.
The Speaker then requested (hem to come for
ward and lake tho oaths. When Mr. Prentiss
placed his hand on Iho bn’y book, ho said, in a
distinct voice, that he and bis colleague, in con
science, believed tbo late April election illegal,
and iu taking the oaths and being qualified, they i
did bo as representatives of the state of Missiasip- i
pi, under Hie November election.
The Speaker then administered the oaths in
tho usual form.
Mr. Boon, of Indiana moved that (he rules of
tho House bo suspended (or one hour, in order to
take up and consider the Joint Resolution from
the Senate, annulling tho Treasury Specie Cir
cular, and prohibiting tho issue of any similar
order hereafter.
Mr. Pickens, of South Carolina,objected, and
was going on to remonstrate against the measure,
when he was preromptohly called to order.
The House determined to suspend tho rules —
Ayes 113, Nays 34.
The resolution was then road a first and second
time, and the question being on ordering it to a
third reading, Mr. Boon, of Indiana, demanded
the previous question Tho call was seconded
by a large majority, and the resolution was order
ed to bo read a third time—Ayes 151, Nays 27.
Mr. Duncan, of Ohio, endeavored to have it
recommitted; but tho previous question was
again applied, and Duncan’s motion was cut off
Tho resolution was then passed—Ayes 154,
Noes 89.
As tho measure will certainly obtain the appro
val of the President, the Treasury Circular may
be regarded as repealed.
On. motion of Mr. Cambrelino, the House
thou resolved itself into a Oomrnitte of the
Whole, and took up the bill making appropria
tions for the suppression of Indian hostilities.
Mr. Hulsey, of Georgia, addressed the Houso
at length in support of tho measure. Ho was
followed by Mr. Naylor, of Pa,, and tho debate
was still going on when this pmkago was closed.
In the Senate, a message was received from
tho House, announcing that the joint resolution
annulling the Specie Circular, &c., had passed
that body.
After the presentation of a few unimporlant
petitions,
Mr Webster offered the following'impor
tant resolution:
•‘Resolved, That tho Committee on Finance
be instructed to take info consideration tbo act i
of June 23J, 1836, entitled “An act to regulate
the Deposites of the Public Moneys,” and to ,
inquire whether, according to the provisions of
that act, it is now compclent for the Secretary of |
tho Treasury to employ any bank, which has ;
heretofore been selected as a Public Depository, t
and which, since the passage of that act, has i
suspended specie payments, and also to inquire I
into the expediency of repealing or modifying
those provisions of tho said act, which prohibit
the receipt in payment of debts and dues to the
United States, of the bills of all Banks, which
issue bills of less denomination than five dollars;
and to report their opinion thereon.”
Morris of Ohio objected, and it was ncccsi
sary, therefore, that it should lie over till to-mor«
row.
Tho Senate then proceeded to the considera
tion of private bills, and was occupied with bu.
siness of that character until tho of tho
silting. M.
From our Correspondent.
Washington, May 31, 1838.
In the Senate to day, Mr. Clay, of Ky., pro
Bontcd two memorials, raking for the cstob*
lishmont of a National Bank, one (iom Hartford
Conn, numerously signed, and purporting to be
by persons of all political parties—the other from
Jamaica, Long Island, from persons formerly
attached to tha Administration,
.Mr. Clay took occasion to nay that tho indi
cations on all sides showed that the People want a
national Ban , ami as be saw no !.-; of such au
institution being established while Congress rc- j
mains in the. talc it now is, as respects parties, I
he thought the beet thing w.mid be to s< •urn, 1
go borne, and get i:-iraction from the Pcopl !
, He wished Mr. Kink ol Ala. would callup lib
resolution to adjourn on an early day.
Mr. Kino replied dial it had been taken out of
1 his hands,
Mr. Webster suggested that it would ho well
to fix on the time soon, and ho thought the Ses
sion might ho closed hy the 2d of July.
Hr. Vf uu:trr wished to look into the charac
ler of tho petition, and see what those who signed
them wanted—whether they wore (or a now hank
or for the old bank.
1 he (tolition from Hartford was read.
, Mr. Niles, of Conn, made some remarks on
the slate of public opinion in Connecticut, and
declared that tho petition Item tho stamp of
falsehood on its face, when it purported to come
Irom persons ol all panics. Ho then assailed tho
, frigs as Imnkmcn, monopolists, and cracked a
dull Joke about a mulatto fellow, who, ho said,
could only play one tune. The Whigs, ho said,
had hut one tunc, iVational Bank! National
Bank!”
Hr. Clav commented in proper terms on lids
assault by Hie Connecticut Senator on his slate ;
and retorted upon him that the Administration
jiarty and their friends had mt one song, “ Sul)
1 reasury! Sub Treasury.—That was the sever*
etgn panacea lor all the woes of tho country.
Alter some further debate, the petitions wore
ordered to he printed and laid on tho table for the
present.
Ihe Senate then proceeded to the considera.
lion of private hills.
During the morning hour, a petition was pre
sented from Francis I’bkston Beaus praying
the interposition of Congress to relievo him from
an obligation under which ho stands to the Post
Oliicc Department as security for a defaulting
Postmaster. Death asking relief from the 100

for effect, hy this precious couple.
Mr. Webster's resolution of inquiry into
tho powers of the Secretary under (lie Deposile
Aetol 183d—ol which f spoke particularly yes
terday, was taken up and adopted.
in the House of Ucpresontauvcs, Mr. Whittle*
•ey, from tho Committee on claims, reported the
Senate Bill for compensating Missouri volunteers
who sii lib red losses in tho voyage to Tampa Bay.
It was. laid on the table for the present, end the
accompanying report ordcicdto he printed.,
Mr. Worth i noton, (rom the Committee on
Commerce, reported a hill to extend the limits of
the port of New Orleans. It was road twice, and
referred to a Committee of tho Whole.
Also a resolution from tho same, directing the
Secretary of War to furnish, at the commence
ment of next session of Congress, a copy of all
the surveys which have been made of Lakes Erie
and Michigan. An amendment was offered, to
include Lake Huron; and tho further consideration
postponed till to morrow,
A resolution was adopted instructing the Com
mittee on Commerce, to report a Bill to prohibit
tho master of any vessel from discharging ballast
at the mouth ofany harbor or bay of the United
Slates so as to obstruct tho navigation thereof.
On motion of Mr. Jones, the Committee on
Territories, to whom had been retorted, the Sen
ate Bill for ascertaining ami running the bound
ary line between the Stale of Michigan and the
Territory of Wisconsin, were discharged from
further consideration of tho same, and it was re
ferred to Committee of the Whole on the Stale
of the Union-
The House then, on motion of Mr Camhroling.
resolved itsolfinto Committee of the Whole, mid j
took up the Bill making appropriation for the
suppression of Indian Hostilities.
The debate was continued by Messrs. Bell, Ev

Money Market.
Southern funds are chiefly held up hy specu
lators. The moment they make a show of het
tcrncss, the holders eagerly grasp at the advant
age, and immediately a fall hack to the old chan
nel is experienced. This is tho reason why the
improvement in those moneys docs not go for
ward more rapidly. There is no fear of any loss
in tho acquisition of them, hut it takes such a
length of time to realise their value that quick
dealers arc loth to touch them in any quantity.
Mississippi notes are scarce at IB per cent, while
Alabama arc quoted at 13 discount. Tho State
Bank of Alabama is in our market for the nngos
tiation of one of her loans, and this chcumstancc
tends to create a feeling in favor of her money.
There cannot, however, ho any decided improve
ment in Southern funds, till the specie circular
be repealed, and the general resumption lake
place. The approximation to these events is be
coming daily more rapid.

Vy c copy the following from tiro St. Augus
tine, Herald of tho 19th instant:
“In the early part of tire week, we understand
a letter was received from Tampa, staling that
Alligator had returned to J’caso Creek, with about
300 more Indians, and it was expected that tin:
number would he increased 100 more in a short
time. ’l'he war was considered “pretty well on.
ded at Tampa, and hut few more Indiana remain
out.”
“In relation to tho above, there are two or
three facts which present themselves.
"First, —lt is said that a temporary peace lias
been negotiated with tho Indians, and they have
kindly consented lo suffer our troops to retire int
‘summer quarters,’ and have magnanimously
promised lo remain peaceable and quiet soutlr of
a certain lino. In view of this temporary ar
rangement, huvo not Alligator and his 300 Indi«
ans come in —to dra-w rations ?
"Next. —By the estimate of Id. Harris, the
Satninolo nation consisted of about 3000 indivi
duals, One half oi those wero considered hos
: tile, and could not possibly furnish a force of more
than 300 warriors. But time lias proved that they
wore all hostile, and alter more Ilian two years
lighting, we cannot learn of more titan about
1000 Indians having been captured, and slipped
out ol the Territory. How near is the war cn>
ded, when there yet remains 2000 Indians in the
Territory ?
“•Again, —The idea circulating at the present
time that the war is ended, is injurious--
“I he people receive false impressions from er
roneous official statements. A large force is as
necessary as ever for the protection and security
of the country ; and under the idea that the
‘war is pretty well ended,’ they will return to
their plantations at tho risk of their lives. This
is no time to bo harping upon tho oftstruck string,
‘the war is ended.’ Is there no sinister design
in thus setting afloat tills dangerous idea.”
From tin; Charleston Patriot, June 1.
Another Attempt lo set fire.
Another attempt was last night made to involve
our city in conflagration, by placing a parcel of
combustible materials within the weather board
ing of a small wooden tenement on the West side
of King street between Clifford street and Dottle
Alloy, in tho occupation of Mr. Duller, folder and
Picture Frame Maker. One of the weather
boards nearest tho sircet pavement was forced off
and a paper parcel, carefully enveloping the com
bustibles with a match attached, was placed so as
to have ignited, in case tho attempt had been
successful. A neighbor having risen about 6
o’clock and perceiving something unusual at the
rqiot was induced to examine tlio opening made
and discovered the combustible materialwhich
had fortunately not token fire. The preparation
of these combustibles evinced great an in the di
aboiical contriver. Tim attempt, must have been
made between J 2 and 1 o’clock, as about that
hour a neighbor heard a noise in tho street re
sembling that of forcing a hoard from it -; position,
hut on rising did not discover any person.
Axn still a.v other. —Since the above was
written we learn that on Wednesday night an
attempt was made to set fire to a house hack in a
yard, in tho occupation of colored persons, situat
ed on tho West of .Mozyck between Queen and
Broad-sts. Tho combustibles wero discovered
before (hey had been ignited by tho perpetrator.

A daring robbery of tie: Dank of tho Motro* .

day night or Sunday last, tin: particulars of which I
are thus stated in tho National Intelligencer of

By moans of a light painter's ladder, tho
thieves reached the top of the hank portion, which
fronts on Fifteen street. Drawing tho ladder af
ter them, lh"y placed it on the portico, and as
cended the roof of tin; hank, crossing tho balus
trade. Descending by the sky light, and forcing
two trap doors, the thieves arrived at the bottom
of the stairs, when they cut or forced their way
through a panel of a door, which communicates
with tiro bank, and which door was lined witli
sheet iron. The aperture in the door through
which the thieves f irgcd'themselves into the hank
is not more than eight or nine inches wide, ami
sixteen inches long; it is so very narrow that, in
forcing themselves through it one or more of the
thieves mm t have scratched themselves mid drawn i
hioed, as marks of it wero found on the office I
towel. With a piece of iron, which appears lo
have been part of an iron rail, (probably taken
from tho railroad,l the thieves succeeded in fnr

’’ stone work ot which it in constructor] (lulled all
11 attempts to force it, on the part of the most deter
'> "lined and resolute robbers. It is probable that
the thieves were at work during the whole ol
Sunday, when the watchmen of the bank wote
absent. It seems impossible tliat they could
c have succeeded in entering the bank if they bad
t carried on their operations, of forcing sky lights,
1 trap doors, and door pnnnols, while the watch
j man were on duty. Wo nnderslmid that the
value of the jewelry and plate stolen from the
hank is very considerable. A reward of $5OO is
oflered by the bank Directors for tbe approhen
sien of the daring villains who have committed
, the robbery.

of death for a homicide at Albany, and who es

lias been retaken and was safely lodged in Bride
i well at about six o’clock last evening. If. seems
i that ho left tho city on Saturday, wont to Von

horse and was taken at Poughkeepsie for tho theft
by two young men of that place, and being after
wards recognized as Hector, he was taken to this
city in a steamboat and again locked up—with
out much chance, probably, of again befooling

In a suit brought by the Union Dank of I,nu
island, against one of its debtors, tbe exception
was raised, that the Until, had forfeited its charter
by a suspension of specie payments, and was,
therefore iiiirompetenl to bring a suit. Tho point
has been lately argued before Judge Uuckanan,
and a decision given in favor of tho Bank, main
taining its charter and corporate rights. It will
be remembered, that a different decision was
1 given in tho case of tho Alchafulia Hank, which
the Bulletin says war. owing to some dilfetceco in
its charter. The decision of tho Court in tho
1 case of tho Union Dank, had not yet been pub
halted, and the grounds upon which it was made
' are not exactly known. —Mobile J!,lv.
"J wish I was a Pig.”—Among tho dry,
(plaint, and philosophical scenes with which Mr!
Neal’s recent volume of “Charcoal Sketches”
abounds, wo think this soliloquy of a loafer, who
had boon sleigh riding, and got “spilt,” is inimitn.
blc. “It’s man’s natur,” 1 believe, and we can’t
help it, nohow. As for me, I wish I was a pig;
there’s some sense in being a pig wet’s fat; pigs
don’t have to specilatn and bust; pigs never go n
sleighing, quarrel with their daddies in law wot
was to be, get into sprees, and make larnel fools
of themselves. Pigs is decent behaved people
and good citizens, though they ain’t got no wolc.
And then they hav’nt got no clothes to put on of
cold mornings when (buy gel up; they don’t have
to to darnin’ andpotchin* their own pants; they
1 don’t wear no old hats on their heads, nor have
1 to ask people for ’em; cold whiles is plenty for
I pigs. My eyes! if 1 was a jolly fat pig, belong
ing to respectable people, it would be tantamount
I to nothin’ with mo who was president. Who
■ over scc’d one pig a soilin’ on a cold curbstone a
• rubbin’ another pig’s head wot got chucked out
of a sleight—Pigs has too much hchro to go a
3 ridin’ if so he ns they can help it. I wish ! was
- one, and out of this scrape. It’s true, pigs has
■ their troubles like humans; constables ketches
5 'em. dogs bites ’em, and pigs is ns done over suck
' ers as men; but pigs never runs their own noses
( into scrapes, coaxin’ themselves to believe jt’ a lun,
■ as wo do. J never seen a pig go the whole hog
in my life, ’sept upon rum cherries.”
Wc lako tho following jeud’espril from tho
Boston “I’ust” as not inapt to (he times.
A fcjKßious Q,ukstion.—-Tho (Johnto on
tho Abolition Society, on Monday overling,
was very animated. The daring proposition
was made that the Ourang advertised to he
sold by Mr. Tyler, the Auctioneer, on the day
following, should ho rescued, na tho slaves
wore from under the nose of the honorable
Chief Justice, last summer. It was clearly
proved that the Ourang was an ornament to
human society—a being highly endowed with
intellectual powers, and es capable of appre
ciating and enjoying tho blessings of freedom
as Goorgo Thompson himself. The ladies
present appeared to take a deep interest in
■ several anecdotes, related by one of the spea
kers, of tho affectionate nature of this abused
portion of the “human family.”—One of them
(Henry Fitzgerald Augustus Outang) foil in
love with a white lady, and finding Ins advan
ces rejected, actually died of a broken heart,
Imt no word of complaint or reproach was
over hoard from his lips. A notiier, (Orlando
Montgomery Outang) seeing a pretty ..irl
standing at her lather’s door, seized her, and
bore her to “his lofty homo in a forest (roe ”
them he watched her, a;;;', led nor with coco,
nob, sos ice weeks, when his captive esca«
pod and returned to her lather’s house unhar
med. Several other interesting facts connec
ted with the history of this “dcnp'y injured
race” wore related in the course of the even
ing. The | ropoi itiori to re it no b fore the
sale, however, was finally rejected—it being
thought more consistent with the principles 'if
the Society in restore Mr. Outang to liberty
after the purchaser had paid his’money for
him and by that means a suffering fellow
creature would not only he relieved from the
hand of a hard-hearted master, but the master
punished for Ins sin in dealing in (Outang flesh,
by being robbed of his properly. What the
final result will ho, time only can determine.
