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 As tho measure will certainly obtain the appro val of the President, the Treasury Circular may be regarded as repealed.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 rigid Amos Kendall!! all humbug! got up 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 erett. and others—and the Committee were sail sitting, when this was closed. M. From the N. Y, Whin, May 30. 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. Byway of Nashville, Tennessee, we icarn that the U S Bank of Pennsylvania, or rather (ho President thereof, has taken tho Michigan loan of five millions of dollars, to he paid in instal ments of $500,000, whenever called for. A proposition is afloat in the State of Missis sippi, to create a great Southern Bank for the regulation of the exchanges and dealings therein, for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama. Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and tho Carolina*—Foe mo. thcr institution to ho placed in New Orleans. If it he true that dispersion of wealth is the true key to tho preservation of our liberties and tho full dcvclopement of our resources, this semi-nation al bank ought at onco to ho created. But we opine that a republic in money matters will ho found another Utopia. Have we not tried the democratic principle in banking, and have we not tasted i s sweets till they have surfeited us! Stocks to-day were flat compared with yester day’s doing.;. Closing prices of U. S. Bank was 118—of Mohawk (ii—of Stoning ton liOj—of Harlem C 3J —and of Uelcwaro 791.

J. R. TOINSKTT. 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. —lb. [From the Jiultimore American, TJaij 30. J I lull I {{cibbcrs'. A daring robbery of tie: Dank of tho Motro* . polis, at Washington, was perpetrated on Hallir I day night or Sunday last, tin: particulars of which I are thus stated in tho National Intelligencer of yesterday: 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 i big op u the finch safe, in which wero deposited »wo ma'v-iny cases of valuable jewels, silver spoon-', & the property of a gentleman new r,h -ot born th - city, who had left tlii-rn in the bank far Tim valuable contents ! of Iheao tw< ca.ts tin; thieves look a wav.

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. , / 'nm the Acre York Omen i . i likctou hktckkv.—Hector, under the sentence of death for a homicide at Albany, and who es . capcd from prison in this oity some days since, lias been retaken and was safely lodged in Bride i well at about six o’clock last evening.

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.

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.
