As the trial may continue some time, we are consequently unable to say when fie will return. 077~0n the first page of the Gazette of to-day will be found a part of the President's Mpssage. Owing To its great length, and not having room for it entire, we concluded to divide it. The conclusion will lol low next week. We lay it before our readers with out comment, feeling assured ttiat every unprejudiced man will read it and at once admit its a document of | great merit. l'o*t master ortatioii of a daily mail between Cairo and New Orleans. (Since the Report was written a daily mail has been put on this route.) Extended and favorable notice is made of the mail service in the Termors, across the Isthmus of Pana ma, and on the Pacific coast. The Postmaster General states that he has receiv ed abundant proof- of the usefulness of the re-istra tion system, and of the necessity of perfecting it bv such means as experience may suggest. The total expenditures of the department for the last year amounted to $9,368,342 29. Total re ceipts, $7,342,136 13. Boring the year there was received from letters, Mamps sold, newspapers, pamphlets. \.c., &c., the sum ol $0,472,698. The compensation to postmas ters, clerk heir, &c. amounted to $2,476,451 20. '1 he expenditures for transportation have much in erased during the last year, owing to the very great extension of railroad service. The business of the year 185.7 shows an increase of 7 3-5 percent, over the business of the preceding year. The onerons burden imposed iqion the Department by the franking privilege is dwelt upon at considera ble length. Huriiig one month 77,727 letters and 693,508 pounds of public documents were sent thro' the Washington post-office alone. If postage had been paid on this matter, it would have been at the rate ol $1,468,386 per annum. ihe present rates ol postage on periodicals and newspaper- are not deemedadequaie. Recommends making compulsory the payment by po-tag.* stamps on hooks, pbamphlets, circulars, fee. tfndei the piesent system great abuse exists. In the estimates of the receipts and expenditure* for The current ficoal year, the sum of sl, 188,151 is given as the deficiency to be provided for by act of Congress. The report states that several mail steamship lines during the past year has generally been performed with regularity and in an acceptable manner. The increase of postage, as compared with the provions year, on mails conveyed by the Collins line of steamships, was $196,770. The pay to and receipts from the Atlantic steam ships are thus given, alter deducting the inland post age : Contract pay Mail receipts. Collins line, $841,500 $371,3*26 Bremen line, 200,000 76,037 Havre line, 150,000 72,789 | Attention is again called to the large sums paid to I the Collins line of steamships for the transportation ofmails. The Postmaster General sees no reason to change the views as expressed by hirn in his last re port . Mention is made of a new line of Belgian steam ships between New York and Antwerp, and the pen ding convention to fix the rates ol postage between the two ports. The rates of postage oil pamphlets and magazines between the United States and Great Britain, on | either side, are. for works not weighing over 2 oz. i two cents; over two and no! over sixteen ounces, four i cents an ounce. No pamphlet weighing over eight, nor periodical over sixteen ounces, can be sent ex cept at the letter rate. Books are likewise subject to letter rate. The report closes with the following excellent ad vice : "The postal establisement is one in which every citizen isinost deeply interested, and all should aid in rendering it as perfect as po-sible. Instead of denunciation, in trie event of mistake, carelessne-s, or accident, as a general rule, certainly the wiser course would be to advise the Department of the wrong committed and leave it to apply the remedy." ------ Dlcrting i' the fount) Committee. At the call of the President, on the 7th of January, i 1856, the Committee met at John I'. Reed's office. : All present except Jobt: Sill. On motion of Wit. )'. Schell, Wm. M.

On motion, Resolved, That the proceedings of this Meeting be published in the "Gazette." JOHN P. REED, Pres't. Wm. M. Hail, Sec'y. The Protracted Session. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 HOUSE. —At 1 o'clock, this morning, Mr. Paine made ineffectual motions for Mr. Orr, and then for Mr. Smith, of Alabama, to tem porarily occupy the chair till a Speaker is elec- I ted. These were followed by incidental discussions involving the merits ol Know-.\othingisrn, | Catholicism, and other subjects. Two ballots were then taken, the las*, of ; which stood—Banks, SS ; Richardson, 62 ; Ful , ler, 27 ; Pennington, 6 ; scattering, 4-. .Necessa ry to a choice, 9F. Much time was consutn*d in calling the roll on various questions, and frequent motions to adjourn. Around the hall the members were sleeping or dozing in their chairs, or on the so las, others remainingon guard and rousing them tip when their votes were required. Several members stigmatized the scenes enac ted as most disgraceful, and thought they would | he willing to stay for hours longer, if they | thought any good could be effected. They 1 thought it would be better, under the circum stances, to go home and end the farce. Mr. Winslow mowed that the House adjourn until Friday. The Democrals, on giving reasons for voting in the affirmative, notwithstanding the resolu | tion adopted in caucus not to adjourn or take a recess till the election of a Speaker, said that they thus resolved in good faith in order to give the majority an opportunity to organize. Hav ing had a latiguing test, th u y were now satisfied 1 of the impracticability of the experiment. Mr. Letcher said he was perfectly satisfied of the prospect of some colored Republicans for I the Kingdom of Heaven, better now, than of the election of a Speaker, of which there was no earthly probability. Alt*. Etheridge remarked that the Democrats had defeated the organization by taking the responsibility of holding 1 f0 other men in chains. Mr. Bowie replied by saying that the Amer icans have the power to organize bv uniting on the Democratic candidate for Speaker. Let them come up and thus save the country. Mr. Washburn, of Maine, defended the Re publicans from the charge that they are respon sible for the failure in the organization. Mr. Lindiey said he had seen no disgraceful acts, hut merely exhibitions of good humor on the part of gentlemen engaged in debate. , Mr. Giddings remarked, that so far as relates fo the conduct ot gentlemen on this floor, it w as equal to his expectations. (Laughter.) He tendered to his friends—the Republicans—his j thanks for their kind and decorous behavior, and said to the Democrats that their conduct was better than he expected. (Laughter.) As no good could he effected by prolonging the con test, lie voted with the other Republicans lo ad ijourn. The House then, at half-past 8 o'clock, ad journed till Friday, by 10 majority. "Lnvn AT FIRST Smirr."—As a VERY inter esting young lady was passing down Main street yesterday morning, she was somewhat startled upon hearing some one behind her in earnest entreaty that she would stop ; looking around, she beheld a man, apparently well dressed, but with a wild look, rapidly approaching her.— With admirable coolness, the lady waited his approach, and upon his resting his hand upon her shoulder, said: "Well, sir, can Ido any thing lor you?" "Yes, inadame, you can," re plied the maniac. "I am in search of a partner and a bosom friend." "Well," answered the lady, "almost any one who behaves himself in a proper manner could, I should think easily find one." 'Do you really think so?" was the rejoinder ; "then, madame," laying his hand im pressively upon his breast, "allow ine to make you a formal offer of my heart and hand," The lady, not at all taken aback by so astounding a declaration, quietly replied,"thai the street was hardly a proper place for so important a decla ration—that a more private one would be better suited for so delicate a communication." Th maniac, soothed and delighted, with visions perhaps, of a cosy tete-a-tete with his fair in terlocutor at some future time, said, "1 thank you for vour good advice—good morning," am departed with a graceful bow, leaving tfie young lady to pursue her walk without further moles tation.—Buffalo Jldv. liuti. James Buchanan. (Reason's Pictorial , published at Boston, Ma.-*., in presenting its readers with a likeness of the present distinguished Minister to the Court of St. James, together with a view of his resi dence—"Wheatland," Lancaster county, Pa., gives the follow ing brief synopsis ol his services to the country since the commencement of his political career, in ISI 4-. "Asa statesman, he has long been prominent ly before the country, which he has served in various important capacities. He was born in Franklin county. Pennsylvania, April 12, 17- 91, and is therefore in Ins sixty-fourth year. He early studied for the law, and at the out set of life evinced a desire for a public career, and was actively engaged while quite young in politics. In 'l4, he was nominated for member ship in the house ol Representatives of the State Legislature, and was duly elected. He was re elected the succeeding year. As the position was one which was not highly promotive of financial and professional interests, he declined another re-election He was chosen to repre sent his district in Congress in 1820, and look his seat in that body in the following year.— He continued a member ol the House of Rep resentatives until the Fourth of March, 1 S3l. Soon after his fifth election, he declined render ing further services, and withdrew to private life, in 1831, Gen. Jackson proffered him the mission to Russia, which he was induced to ac cept. Immediately alter his return in 1834, he was chosen to fill an unexpired term in the Senate of the United States. Jn 1839 he was elected lor a full term, and m 1843, was re-elec ted to the same post. He was selected by Pres ident Polk, in 184f>, to till the office of Secre tary of State, the duties ol which he discharged till the close of Mr. Polk's administration. On Mr. Lawrence's return from England, Mr. Buch anan became his successor. The sketch below, of the home residence of Mr. Buchanan, is sit uated in the "Eden of Pennsylvania," as Lan caster county is called, it is within twenty minutes walk of Lancaster, and about two arid a ball hours ride of Philadelphia. The grounds— though small in extent—ariout thirty acres—ate beautiful laid out in groves and lawns, and shrubbery of every description. At the foot of the lawn is a very large spring of cool, refresh ing water, which, singular to say, contains in so lution little or no carbonate ol lime : while all the springs lor miles around are more or less impregnated with it. It is rendered a lovely little spot lor meditation or revery, by its dra pery of giact-ful weeping willows. Back of the building is a pretty piece of woodland, un der whose ample shade we could take a delight ful alteruoon snooze, or in w hose walks a moon light stroll would be charming. To the left is an extensive garden, laid out in parterres. A former resident ol VY heatland, in speaking of the salubrity of its air, remarked, "For twelve years we never once required the sei vices of a physi cian, except," continued he, "on certain occa* sions." The house itself is over a hundred feet in length, and, tbo' large and substantial, is ia perfect accordance with the strictest republican simplicity. In conformity to the tastes and character of its eminent proprietor, th - " uiv' l in all its details, though comfortable anil neat, is thoroughly Democratic. Wheatland former ly belonged to Mr. Thomas Potior, of Princeton, ami subsequently to Ex-Secretary Meredith, ol Philadelphia. After the dissolution of Presi dent Polk's administration in 1848, Mr. Buch anan, then Secretary of State, desiring to aban don the turmoil and fatigue of public life for the quiet and genial repose of private citizen ship, purchased Wheatland, ami, in company with his family, consisting of his niece, neph ew, a lady acting as housekeeper, and domes tics, he has made it his home ever since. Here, then, in his native State, and on the field of his former triumphs, lie has led a life of tranquility, occupied, when not engaged in study, either in the exercise of a generous hospitality towards his inends, or in social intercourse with his family. Here he remained until called upon by ttie President to the responsible station of envoy to Great Britain. The peaceful look that "Wheatland" bears about it is most inviting to our eye ; and we should think that its illustrious owner would sigh for a time when he may s.t down beneath his own vine and (D tree." Tiie Alislake of a NigtH—An Incident of Life in Paris. The special correspondent of" the Now Or leans Picayune, writing from Paris in Novem ber last, relates the following amusing occur rence, which, be says is stictly true : A wealthy family havethtir country seat a bout a hundred miles south ol Bordeaux, where they usually pass away five months of the year, tfie period between April and October. All their servants followed them thither. The porter of the house in which they reside—it belongs to them, but they only occupy ihe first floor* the rest is let—keeps tfie keys to their suit of rooms, and has orders to air the rooms every fine day and to have the chimneys swept the first week in September. The husband remained in Paris,a month longer .than the lady, he said, that lie might see tfie exhibition : but alter that month had expired, fie seemed to have been bitten by a tarantula, for lie could not keep quiet at his estate a day, but was continually running up to Paris, or to Bordeaux, or somewhere else. His wife became suspicious; at last she de termined to come up to Paris unexpectedly, and see if he had not come to the capital, aHtiowli he said when they parted that he was going to Nantes. It was late at night when she reached her house ; light was streaming from her draw ing room and bed chamber ! Listening to noth ing but her passions, she ran past the porter's lodge, and in a moment (Ibr she 100 had a key to her suit of rooms) she was in her apartment. The dining table was covered with the rem nants of a dainty supper, and the delicately ta pered bottles vouched that no ordinary wine I had lubricated the late repast. Her boudoir was covered with ladies'dresses. Her shame and her husband's guilt were but too apparent. I She burst into the bed-chamber. The light had been extinguished while she was mounting ! the staircase and examining the staircase and boudoir. "Come, my dear fellow, come to bed at once ; I have been expecting you above an half hour," said a woman, while gropinc for the matches. They were soon found and the candle ii-rht- Ed : the wile found a woman in her own bed ! "Whoare yon ?" exclaimed the latter, at the sight ol this lury, this Thisbe in G'atarina's chamber ; and she pulled the hell with might and main. "Who am ], abandoned wretch that you are! I ant the mistress of this house: the wife of hint who calls you mistress !" "Oh, heavens! the woman is crazy," shrieked the tenant of the bed, trying to arrange as best she might the pillows of the bed into a breastwork, capable of resisting the charge which evident ly was impending. The wife had, however, bv this time, lost he anger in surprise, as the can dle showed the lady in her bed was above sixty years old, wrinkled and gray, "What's the mutter, mother !" exclaimed a beautiful girl of twenty, who suddenly appeared, scarcely attir ed in a piegnon hastily thrown over her shoul ders. "Amelia, where is your father ? That crazy woman has burst in here and insulted me grossly. Run for vour lather : call every body." Rut the tone and attitude of the wife had changed : she began to understand that this was no tragedy, but a comedy of errors. "Madame," said she, "dont he so much alarmed. lam not an escaped boarder from a luneticasvium. Al low me to sit down in my own house ; for 1 am indeed in my own house," added she, glancing around the room and recognizing Iter lurmture. "Let us explain our positions." '1 hey entered into explanations. The lady in bed was Ihe Countess tie , who, with her husband and daughter, had come to see the exhibition. Desiring, an apartment more comfortable and less noisy than ttiose of a hotel, an agency had given them their present quarters. The [>orter had let it out ! lie had rented it for S2OO a month to strangers in quest ol quiet and comfort Excuses w< ; e made on both sides. The next day the porter was kick ed out ol his lodge, and as the countess and the wile found they had a great many common friends, the latter engaged the loniier to remain her guests during their stay in Paris. The hus band had gone to Nantes to purchase, as it al terwards turned out a neighboring piece of pro perty, which his wile was anxious he should acquire. A Barbarous Murder. The \ew Haven papers bring us full partic ulars of one of the most singular murders that has occurred |ir many years. It is a curious and revolting story of ignorance, superstition, and fanatacism worthy of the darkest period of Salem \\ itchcralt. Ihe substance ol the histo ry is tli is : A certain widow Wakeman, a woman of 70 years, pretends to be a Prophetess, possessed of miraculous powers, capable of raising the dead, and as having been sent from Heaven a 'Mes senger" to the wicked in this world. At her house in New Haven has been living a some what notorious fanatical old man named Elder Sly ;. and the house had been the place of meet ing id a company of persons—male and female, husbands and wives—who had come to believe the old woman as all that she professed to be; and that at her nod, the world would be destroy ed. 1 his pretence had been strengthened bv the fact that not long since one of her followers, it is said, gave her a dose of arsenic in a cake, believing it would have no efUct, except to il lustrate her divine mission ; and nothing but the fact that it was an over-dose ami soon ejected from her stomach, saved her life. From that time all cavil among Iter followers respecting her power has been hushed, and her presence has been considered by them as that of a mes tseqger from Heaven. Among these devotees, \dsbustus Mathews, a small farmer living in tile western part of Hamdeti, and who has lat terly been accused by the old woman of jwsses sing a devil—and the incantations of the whole party had been applied f>r its removal, at va rious times, and in various ways. (If late, it had been the burden oft he obi woman's mum meries, that he was her evil genius—that he was bewitching her—that she should die it he was not removed—and that, in such an event, the world would be destroyed. On Sunday night last, these spasms were repeated, and SJ worked upon the feais of the party assembled, that during the night he was bv some one or more of them murdered, in the belief that, by so doing, the life of the old woman would tie sav ed. and the destruction of the world prevented ! Sly has since confessed the murder, and thus the bloody work of superstition ends. AN AFFECTING INCIDENT. — Maj. John jVL Gilmore, the gentleman who destroyed our identity last summer by disguising us in a new suit, a few days since, in company with Map Thomas A. Maguire and John Heudrick, Esq., sent a thrill of joy to the (marts of some half-a dozen young Smiths, the children of a poor but worthy citizen of our borough. The above na med gentleman, whose hands are ever open and ready to relieve the wants of the suffering with their characteristic benevolence, ordered three line turkeys to be taken to the home of the above mentioned young Smiths. We shall not at tempt to describe the rapturous delight of the children on the reception ol tiie turkeys. Most fortunately the turkeys were not received sim ultaneously, so great a cause of jov, breaking in so suddenly upon their vouiig hearts might have resulted in something serious ; but arriving, one by one, they were sufficiently prepared for the exigency. The happy smiles that lit up their young faces, ar.d the shouts ol' jov "long pent up," that escaped Iroin their empty stomachs, made the incident one of most thrilling interest. The scene can only be imagined ; to describe it would be impossible.— Johnstown, Echo. GENE. WALKER. —The situation of this re doubtable filibuster is represented to be exceed ingly critical. He cannot trust a native beyond the reach of his rifles. His military chest is empty. The $12,000 brought over by Minister French to raise recruits was everv dollar that (Jen. Walki-r could raise in Nicaragua, and if the New York and New Orleans recruits, or emigrants as they prefer to be called, should fail to elude the vigilance of our government and reach their destination in time to succour him, it will require all his sagacity and valor to save himself and his troops from immolation.
