nOn moU of Mr. Brkeb, the Vice
President was authorized to fill the vacan
cy in the Hoard of Regents of the Sm.di
sonian lusutution, occasioned by the death
of Senator Pcnnybaekcr.
Mr. Uknton introduced his bill, on
ieaWernnting bounty lands to all non
commissioned officers and privates of the
army serving in Mexico. Ihe!,i;l was
read twice bv its title, when a desuhory
liscussion ensued, as to whether a hill
would have its second reading on the day
of its introduction, - Mr. Benton desiring
that action might be had on his bill at
once.
Mr. J M Clayton moved to postpone
the further consideration of the bill, for
the purpose of taking up the army bill.
Mr. Berriex said that this motion as
sumed that the land bill was now before
the Senate, which he could not admit.
The debate upon the point of order was
renewed, and continued at soma length,
in the course of. which, Mr. Bextox, with
.much warmth, declared, that the whole
country should see the ground upon,
which he stood the whole world should
see what he was about,
Mr. C.uicnox said, that when the
vholc world was seeing- what the Sena
tor from Missouri was about, they would
at the same time be seeing what the rest
of the Senate were doing.
After further debate, the motion of Mr.
Clayton prevailed yeas 23, nays 23, the
vice" President giving the casting vote in
the affirmative
The Army Bill was accordingly taken
up, the question being upon agreeing to
the substitute offered by Mr. Badger for
Mr. Cameron's amendment.
A debate ensued, which was finally er
minatedby a motion of Mr Benton to re
commit the bill with instructions t; report
a section granting ICO acres of land lo
every non-commissioned officer and sol
dier serving during the war.
The Senate, then, after a short execu
tive session, adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
A bill was reported, read twice, and re
ferred to the Committee on Post-offices
and Post Roaus, to establish additional
Post routes in Texas.
The Oregon Territory Bill was
then taken up, and Mr. Hamlin, of Maine,
addressed the House in delcncc of the
constitutional right of Congress to pro
hibit slavery in new territories. The
sentiment of the North, he said was op
posed to any further extension of the area
of slavery. No solitary interest of any
State would be affected by a prohibition
" onis mirocrucnon rnxo new territories.
This wa3 no Missouri compromise, no
anexalion of Texas question, ard the free
States would never consent to the intro
duction of slavery into free territory, ac
quired or to be acquired.
Mr. Bowdex, of Alabama, the succes
sor of Mr. McConnell, followed Mr.
Hamlin in a discussion of the constitu
tional question involved, contending that
the general government possesses n j in
herent, no independent and distinct sove
reignty whatever. They possessed no
powers not derived from the State as
grantees.
Mr. Brodhead inquired, if this were
true, where then the General Government
obtained the power lo acquire territories
alall!
. Mr. James Thompson, of Pennsylva
nia followed Mr. Bowden, in opposition
to the views taken by that gentleman.
Mr. McDaxikl of Missouri, obtained
the floor, when Mr. Thompson had con
cluded, and moved the previous question.
They were wasting the time of the nation
in quarreling about territory which thcy
tid not possess. It reminded him of the
story of the old man and old woman who
quarreled about milking the cow which
they did not own, and neither had mon?y
enough to buy!
The demand for the previous question
was sustained; the yeas and nay3 were
ordered, and the bill was passed, loo to
35.
Sundry communications from the Pre
sident, War, Treasury and Post Odieo
Departments, were laid on the Clerk's
table, and ordered to be printed, and then
the House adjourned,

! expedition would sail in a i'a-je days. for
;i:s dest'matioa. By. this arrival we have
j the . particulars of an unforiunate misuu
1 dc-rsuniiliag between the U, S. minister
jr.t Rio and the BrrziUan Government,
which threatens to disturb our -amicable
rvila;io:is v. iih that power. The difficulty
jorigiua-ed in t!a arrest of two men from
the U. S. shi;. Coiumhus, who vers on
j shore while the vessel was at anchor in
I the harbor ol Rio. The men ;ot ir.ioxi-
eatod, and while proceeding through' the
ttrect-3 tr go on board, were pkiccd. under
m-rrst, and conveyed to rmson. -Lieut.

The guards t'icn beckoned to him to
come in, and 'snpposhig them desirous of
having an interview' with him in relation
to the mfcn, i o did so, but' immediately
found himslf an.1, his men prisoners.
j l ir. Wise, the United States Minister, bc
j "pprisod of the occurrence by tlcra
rniodore Ros-scau, of slic Colnrnhns, open
jed a correspondence with the: Brazilian
; government, demanding their release.
j The reply being deemed unsatisfactory,
j was answered by another communication

Farther correspondence ensued, the men
still remained in custody. A day or two '
after this occurrence, the Emperor's
youngest child, the inf.mta Isabella, va3 j,
christened, the ceremonies being honored
by salutes from vessels of Avar,- and die
i

The tete lasted a whole
'w
eek. l Rut Commodore Rosseau and
Mr. Wise declined to join in any ceremo
nies of this character, until full reparation
had been made for the insult - offered to
their country. The authorities; Requested,
the Commodore lo fire a salute, which he
declined doing." ' Mr. Wriso and the other
Americans did not illuminate their dwel
lings, and have consequently been subject
to repeated insults. ' The son of the Con
sul was assaulted in the streets,, and se
riously woundod. The subject was ta
ken up in the national Parliament, then
in session. .'."
The House of Commons passed a bill
requesting the withdrawal of Mr. Wise,
but the upper House rejected- it, and the
Commons tendered their resignation in a
body'. Thus, the affair rested at last ?d
vices, the men being still in prison. Du
ring the excitement at Rio, the California
boys arrived and resolved to have an op
position christening of one of our Ameri
can sovereigns, two of whom were born
on the passage. A splendid - silver cup
was provided as a present for" the young
volunteer, whom the Chaplain duly chris
tened Alto California. Colonel Ste
venson stood God-father on the occasion.
All the officers of the ships and many of
the Americans were present. It was a
snlendid affair, aud operated as a hint to
the - Brazilians,- who were somewhat as
tonished at the American volunteers leav
ing their homes in- such numbers to sro
half round the .world.' The volunteers
were allowed full privileges on shore, but
there had not been a single desertion.
Col. Stevenson made a speech to them in
relation to the diliiculties, and every man
expressed his readiness to join in storm
ing the city of Rio, if necessary to sus
tain the honor of their country's flag.
Captain James M. Turner, of the Cali
fornia volunteers, arrived last night in the
Reindeer, as bearer of despatches - from
the United States Minister at Brazil, and
will proceed this morning to Washington.
The oilier passengers were, Mrs. S. G.
Steele, of Athens, New .York; 'lady of
Capt. G. StoeK of the volunteers; Robt.
P. Noah, -of New York, Secretary to
Col. Stevenson; and Lieut. George 1).
Brewster, of the volunteers, from West
Point. -' '
War had not yet broken out between
Brazil and the Argentine Republic, hut
was daily expected. Brazil had ordered
a large force to the Argentine frontier.
The passengers in the Reindeer were
brought up to the city by the pilot boat
Robert Mitchell, which greatly facilitated
the transmission' to Washington of the
important advices brought by'Capt. Tur
ner for the Government. N. Y. Sun,
A DREADFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
EIGHT MEN KILLED. .
A truly shocking event eccurred on
Thursday evening, on the Reading, Rail
road, by which eight human beings were
in a moment launched into . eternity. It
appears that in the afternoon of that day,
the engine "Neversink" started from the
depot at Richmond for Pottsville, with a
train of empty cars. Five men formed
the crew of the engine, and there were
besides, a conductor of another engine,
end a stranger who had probably been ta
ken up on ill'? road. The train arrived
at Mill Creek Bridge at about half-past
eight o'clock, and it is presumed that at
that time,, all the persona we have
alluded to, were on the platform or galle
ries connected with or near the engine,
On reaching the Bridge, the boiler explo
ded and in a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye there remained not one of the
seven men alive to tell the tragic tale! -All
were instantly killed. So violent
was the explosion, so immense its power,
that one corpse wa3 found at a distance of
400 yards from the train, while another
was blown through the boughs of a large
and lofty tree. BickncIC s Hep. . -
.J INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.
A letter from Bent's Fort, ' Nov. 9th,
says: "The Pawnees are playing the
deuce with the provision wagons on the
road. They have killed several men,
burned several . wagons, and supplied
themselves with just what they wanted
out of the trains; and I am glad of this,
because, p;:uiiArs, Uncle Sam, the old
fool, will punish these Indians, who have
so long committed outrages upon the tra
ders with impunity. It is said that the
Quartermaster at Fort Leavenworth des
patched these provision wagons without
giving the men more than two rounds of
ammunition. If so, he ought to be cash
iered." A DREADFUL DISASTER. .
rORTY-SIX I.IVES LOST. ,

Dillingham, of the brig RufusSoulc, from
Neuvitas, that the ship Creole, Capt. Ky
