On Tuesday Mr. DickinBon having

0.-fot questi.a from A lo Z, and suc-
in sending sundry S(nvtori in the
1 i;d"of Nodbcfo.c t!ic hour for rdourn'ng

and tcr this end he wov.M vote for tf;a no

through the Senate weel into Executive
In die Houe, after the transaction of
come morning business, n motion was
mds to 50 iato committee of the Whole,
and take up the river and harbor appro
priation bill which wa? agreed to.
. Mr. McConncll of Alabama moved to
lay aside the harbor b;ll, and take up the
bill, introduced by Mr. Wcnlworth, of
icr ick, some time ago, relative to the
appointment and classification cf clerks,
but it was not agreed to. Failing in th'13
way, he attnrk-cd the bill in another form
aad made one of his remarkable speeches
in support of his motion, which kept the
house ia s continuous roar of laughter.
He denounced the bill ns most iniquilous
y corrupt, end the part of making oppro
p.iaticns to Lake Michigan, ( Wentworlh's
district,) he said that Lake had crown
very King cf late "long, quit; long, long
tslong JoliXi Wentwordu" lie said he
was unnoted to the bill on sectional
I'YiMtiidi, bullie did hate log roiling. He
would ns soon vote appropriations for
V'ie part cf the country as the other. He
htj a Southern man, but he felt interest
ed in all parts of the Union. We have
not 'die choice of our birth place;; if he
had this choice, instead f being born in
LcJand, and raised a basket maker, he
fchould have been born the oldest child of
Oo'rge III. -
. Jle spoke four cr five times on ihcsame
subject, and was tolerated only on the
j.i'C-und thai the members wanted some
thing to relax their gravity. Before any
thing delluite was done the Housa ad

Mr.-Dickenson concluded his remarks
ia the Senate yesterday morning. .After
had said his say, Mr. Dayton rose, and
reived the'- postyouement of the subject
for two weeks, in order to let members
jndge of the late news, and to get through
t!:s press of other business which is
crowding upon them.
.Mr. Allen was opposed lo the post
ponement, lie thought now was the
time to act upun the subject. He did
not, he could not regard the late news as
pacific, although it appeared so on the sur
face. He stated when he rose, that he
did not intend to make a war speech, but
Lis remarks savored most wonderfully of
gunpowder before he got through.
Mr. Cass followed. He said that he
? k! not regard the news as pacific at all
and as lo the queen's spcech.it is a stereo
typed one,huudcd down front one reign to
ajother. He was in favor of continu
ing the debate at present, and although
Lc regarded war as inevitable if the notice
he given yet we ought to give it.
Mr. Calhoun was opposed to the post
ponement, but hoped the Senate would
Yci.upon one of the amendments before
Vt so that Senalorj could speak directly
l j the purpose.
Mr. Colquit offered a substitute far
Mr. Crittenden's amendment authori
ze the President to give the notice if he
liiiks necessary which was ordered to
he printed. ri tia vote was finally taken
en ihe motion to postpone, and it wa3 not
rgreed to.
. la the House, after the reception of re
ports from committees, and some unim
portant matters disposed of, the House in
oimmitiee of the Whole, resumed the
consideration of the harbor bill, and the
tic-bate upon its merits kept up until the
iJiiise adjourned.
I t tlic House this morning Mr. Doo
r's gars notice that he would to-morrow
c v?p ths New Jersey contested elec
tion case. The majority report gives
I.! r. liunk, the sitting Member, the right
ii i:J report la his scat. Hamlin, the

the House, in a minority report favors the i
I.t ofoco ccntestor. We will see to-mor

Mr.' M'Conncll offered a resolution
rut no Member shall speak longer than
ten minutes oa private bills. Objected
10.
The House, in committee, then rc
tnmad the discussion of the harbor bill.
Khrhe very animated speeches were made
r.pon die subject. Mr. Rhett of South
Carolina.took occasion to define his ro-
eition and the position of his colleagues.
H said Tiie Democratic party for policy, '
1 v.sht go with the Whics on the tarilT;
Vj. lotion, butfor himscli ?nd his colleagues
I.: would say, they would stand cr fall by
t"i Constitution if the repeal of the tar
id" of 1812 would bring about such an
ovr-rt. The discussion was continued
ii:itd the House adjourned.
j In the Senate a warm d'sctissioa ensu
t i on the amendments ofTered by Sena
upon the original Oregon resolutions,
which Messrs. Benton. Webstar, Col
V.'i'.t, Hannegan, Cas Cii.tenlen, and
o be-s, t )ok p rt.
Mr. Colquitt's amendment came In for
the greatest sliare of notice. Mr.Calboun
f lid the question had settled down to this:
't'.it we must cither assert our rights
" peaceably or forcibly, that' if, if we do
Tit r.rgociate, and that ?ocn, tiiat tn ap

M. Wcbtr wu in favor of Mr. Col
q:iu amendment, Mesir. Cass, Alien,
IlannCgnn and Bre?e, againn it.
. Mr.' Johnson akcd Mr. Allen, ae chair
man of the committee of Foreign Aflaira,
if Mr. Polk hid given his views upon this
subject, except in his message? Mr, Al
len said the President still maintained the
sam views now that he did then.
Mr. Cass rose, and said he wanted to
act, no nutter whst the resolution may
!V act now. He give Mr. Pakenham
some very hard hints, Mr. P. being in
the Senate at the time, which I thought
in bad ta:e.
Af'er he had conrlt; Jed the Senate ad
journed over to Moridcy.
Yesterday morning Mr. Pleasants, con
nected with the Richmond S:ar, and Mr.
Ritchie, Jr, of the Richmond Enquirer,
met 2t the cotton press near that city, for
the purpose cf adjusting a difficulty
which had sprung out of a newspaper
controversy . Having no particular plan
of lighting they commenced firing when
about two hundred yards apart. Mr.
Rite: de wan armed with two common du
elling pistols, a six barrelled revolver, and
a small artillery sword, Mr. Pleasants
had four pistols and a sword cane. They
continued firing as thry approached each
other, Dr. Dicliie's last fire taking slight
cfltct v Mr. P.'s right breast. Both
having fired their last charges dropped
their pistols, and closed Mr. P. struck
Mr. It. over the head with his sword
cane, and then unsheathing it, cut him
severely about the face, and made one or
two incisions in his body one of Mr.
R.'s seconds then cried out to him to
draw his sword, which he did, and plun
ged it into Mr. P.'s side, who instantly
l'cll. The second and surgeon then inter
fared and Mr Rirhic left the ground.
After a little time Mr. Pleasants recover
ed sufficiency to walk to his carriage.
The above are the only particulars which
have reached this city, and are in the
main correct. There was a rumor thot
Mr. Pleasants was dead but it is contra
dicted, Mr. Ritchie arrived it this city last
night nnd is staying with his fa titer.
On Tuesday, two gentlemen from Mary
land, one of them a member of the Legis
lature, came to this city for the purpose of
shooting each other but thc-ir friends
were fortunate to eflect a reconciliation,
and they returned to Annapolis friends.
On Monday afternoon, a young raan
named Young, was attacked by some
desperadoc:, in an eaiing house on Penn-.
svlvania Avenue, and was slabbed with a
large knife in four places. He now lives
in most critical situation. I will give you
a little gossip, and I will here observe that
I never give you any rumors but what
are well founded. I have it now from a
good source, that within the last two days,
Mr. Packenham, has sent unto this gov
emmcnt his ultimatum in regard to the
adjustment of the Oregon question,
Last night at 8 o'clock, a Cabinet
Council was called, and although secrecy
was enjoined as to the fact, it leaked out.
The object of the meeting was no doubt
the consideration of Mr. P.'s proposition.
It is further said, that instead of Mr.
P. acting contrary to the wishes of his
government in refusing the 49th paratlel,
HE ACTED TO THE VERY LETTER, not
withstanding the remarks of the English
Parliament.
Yours truly. S.

A bill to incorporate the- Pennsylvania
Rail Road Company passed finally in
the Senate on Tuesday. It is very
lengthy, and is said to name about five
hundred commissioners, from all quarters
of the State men of standing and influ
ence to open the books for subscriptions
to the capital stock of the company at
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Erie and other
intermediate, places. umber of shares
to be sold, 150,000, of $50 each, with
power to the Company to increase the
number of shares to 200,000 hereafter,
: should the same be necessary to enable
them to complete the work; which would
make a capital of $10,000,000. As soon
as 50,000 shares have been subscribed,
?.nd 63 per share actually paid in, the
Governor is authorized lo issue letters
patent to the Company.
The route is left to the discretion of
the President and Managers of the Com
pany, being restricted only to commenco
at Harrisburg by uniting with tho Lan
caster Railroad and proceeding thence by
some direct and practicable route with
moderate gradients, which in the opinion
of the Company will be most advanta
geous, and terminating at such point at,
in or near, the city of Pittsburg or other
place in the county of Allegheny,1 or at
the harbor of Erie, as may be deemed
most advisable by the President and
Managers. '
The work to be commenced within
two years, and a single "track the entire
distance to be completed within ten years
or the charter to be void alike forfeiture
to be incurred, if, after its completion,
the road should be suffered to go into
disuse, for two years, froni delapidationor
decay. A mode is also prescribed by
which the charter may be forfeited for
violation of any of its provisions, by
means of a scire facias to be issued from
the Supreme Court upon a report of a
committee of the Legislature, who arc at
all times to be allowed to have free access
to the books of the Company; disputed
facis to be tried by a jury.
The motive power is to be under the
control of the Company, being restricted
however in charging tolls, to not more
thanli cents per mile for passengers,
and 2 cents per ton for merchandise, and
1 cent per mile per car four wheels to
be computed as one car. It is also pro
vided that in case of war, invasion, or do
mestic insurrection, the company are to
transport troops, &c, munitions of war,
nd provisions for tne same, at one half
the usual rats of toil.
The right is reserved to the Common
wealth to purchase the Road with its
apurtenances at the original cost, current
expenses, and costs ol repair paid by the
Company, with interest the reon at 8 per
cent, per annum from the time of the ex
penditures after deducting the amount
of tolls and other revenue realized by the
Company. This to be after 15 years
from the completion of the Road, and
within thirty years from the time of.it3
completion.
Its principal amendment is one offered
by Mr. Biglcr, taxing all tonnage which
may be transported on said Road (when
made) at the discretion of future Legis
latures, not exceeding 5 mills per mile
per ton, which is designed lo secure the
heavy transportations to the State im
provements during the Canal season.
An amendment was also added in the na
ture af a general law allowing the execu
tors or administrators of any person
killed through thecarelesncss or ignorance
of this or any other company's agents,
or through any defect in the road belongs
ing to such company, to bring an action
for damages against the said company, :
lor the kilnagas alorcsaid. The amend
ment also provides thr.t no suit brought!
by any person who may be injured as!
plaintiff, but the action shall survive to
the personal representatives.
