Mr. Editor Please publish the follow in' extract taken from an editorial in the London Times of the 20th January last, eulogizing Sir Robert J. Walker's Free Trade Treasury Report, together with the above heading, and let the people judge between the love cf the Locofocos and that of the Whigs for British princi- pies, and which party in this country bet ter deserves the name of the "British par- ty" and which ihe "American party." The Times savs: "Nothing can surpass the lucid clear 44 ness with which it'' (Walker's Report) ' describes the true commercial policy of ' the Union. It is most gratifying, not to our national pride, but to our fraternal , 44 yearnings, to find that in the universe " of intelligence a people so long and ab- j ruptly alienated can still feel the at- j " traction of oi r goodness and re- j " rixcT the splendor of oer example, 44 The more enlh;mted tarty in the i "Union now clings for siptort to a 44 notle and successful Britism prece- dent.

Mr. Bigham introduced the following preamble and resolutions. - 4 AYherens, Recent intelligence has ap prised us that the people of Ireland, Scot land AVulcs, are now overwhelmed with a calamity unprecedented in mordern times, arising from the failure of their staple crops, resulting in famine and the disea ses induced by famine: And whereas, It behoves the people of these United States, blessed by a kind providence with abun dant harvest to contribute ireeiy to re lieve the destitution of the aforesaid, countries from which of our citizens de rive'their origin, and to which we are uni ted by the numberless tics incident to a common language and kindred laws : And Whereas, A bill has been introduced into Congress proposing to appropriats five hundred thousand dollars to relieve the . destitute of Ireland, Scotland and AValcs. Therefore Resolved, By the Senate &c., that in behalf of th3 people of this Common wealth we cordially approve of an appri alion from the common Treasury worthy of the nation, and hereby cxpaess our ap probation of a National Donation by Con gress, of half a million of dollars to relieve the destitution of Ireland Scotland and AV ales. The resolution was adopted in Com mittee of the AA'holc, and called up on second reading. Mr. Fox proposed to amend by adding Scotland and AVales. Agreed to. After some debate, Mr. Kline propos ed to amend the motion by addin? that fiva 'dollars of the n?r diem Dayofthe mem bersof the" Honse bV added' to tiiesarae I object. An interesting debate sprung up on this amendment. Mr. Kline supported iti . Mr. Bigham replied to Mr. K. against the amendment. Mr. Evans spoke against the resolution and the amendment.: Mr. Knox opposed the amendment warmly, and ably supported the original resolution. ' Mr Blair took the same side, and made an interesting speech. Mr Piollet supported the amendment, and the resolution. Mr Kerr made some remark? in favor of the original resolution, a&d against the amendment. A message was received from the Gov ernor and read. It was on the subject before the. House, to wit, the suffering of I Ireland. After adverting in very feeling terms to the wretchedness of this people, he recommends the immediate passage of a law authorizing the Canal Commission ers to transmit free of toll, all grain, pro duce, clothing, &.c. &c, intended for the relief of Ireland. y ' : ;. The debate was further continued ' on the resolution and the amendment, which was participated in by Messrs. Allison, Pomeroy of Mercer, Piollet, Evans and Leyburn. Mr. Fox. moved to amend the amend ment, by adding that "two hundred dol lars of the Governor's salary, and one hundred dollars of that of the head of each of the departments, be deducted and ap proprated to the same object," After some further debate, Mr. Kline withdrew his amendment. - The resolution in its original shape then passed by a vote of 80 yeas to 0 nays. , TWEXTY-NIXTfl CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION. From the Pittsburgh Gazette. SENATE. AYfcshington, Feb. 247 P. M. After the reading of the Journal, peti tions were in order, and a number pre sented were referred to Committees. The Civil and Diplomitic Appropria tion Bill was taken up, and after the con sideration of various amendments ofi'ercd, was laid aside for the present. Mr. Crittenden gave notice that he would call up his series of resolutions to morrow, (Thursday.) Mr. Webster also gave notice that he would call his resolutions up for consid eration on Friday next. The Three Million Bill was then taken up for consideration. In expectation that Mr Benton would make a speech, a very large number of persons assembled in the galleries and lobby of the Chamber. Ma ny members of the other House were pre sent on the floor. Mr Benton did take the, floor, and pro ceeded to make a lengthy and able speech, and touched upon the most important top ics which had been enforced by various members on both sides of the House, the war, policy of the administration, state of the country, fcc. In general he defended the administration, and did not forget Mr Calhoun. After Mr Benton had concluded, Mr. It TV iainoun rose in reply, lie was more than usually moved, and spoke in an ani mated but solemn manner. His replica tion was verv severe on the Missourian. Mr Benton aain took the floor and re joined in his pompous manner. He sus tained what he had before advanced. The debate ended here, and an exci ting one it was to the spectators. Mr Dix, from the Committee of Conr merce, reported the AVisconsin Harbor Bill, so called, but really the River and Harbor bill, as passed by the House,with- out amendment. Mr Dix also presented a petition setting forth the destitute and distressing condi tion of Ireland, and askinff that Congress would authorize the use of such public vessels as were not otherwise employed, to convay food to that Island. Nothing else of interest occurred previ ous to adjournment. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The first business transacted by the House of any interest, was the adoption oi a JCesoiution lor me purchase oi a copy wright of a map of Mexico. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and took up the Bill reported from the Committee on Post Offices authorizing additional Post-routes in various parts of the country. The Post Route Bill was passed alter some debate. A bill was also passed extending the franking privilege to Postmasters under certain restrictions and limitations. Mr. Charles J. Ingersoll offered a res olution, which, after reciting the distress ed condition of I. eland, authorized the President to send the ship Pennsylvania, and such other national vessels as were unemployed, to that country, to convey provisions free of charge. A motion was made to suspend the rules to receive it. The House refused. The Bill regulating the Immigration of Foreigners was then taken up, debated, and passed. The House then adjourned. STEAMBOAT COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE. On Friday morning about half-past 4 o'clock, the steamer California, Captain R. M. Hunter descending, and the Isaac Newton, Capt. A. G. Mason, ascending, came in contact about one mile below Guyandottc. The forces of the collision was tremendous. The C. was heavily laden, mainly with Pittsburgh manufac tured articles. The I. N. cut her way to the bottom, running into her boilers, and causing her to fill with water immediate ly. The wheels of4he Newton were in- the wreck-she was run on again, and made fast to.' to '"the Ladies' .Cabin, when all hands exerted themselves to the' utmost to save those on tne C. Six persons' were picked up out of the river, and all the rest saved with the exception of six, viz: The first Engineer, Augustus Coop er, four hands on the boat, and one deck passenger, names not known, who were drowned or killed. The C. sunk in five ; minutes in very deep water, and is a to- j tal loss, boat and cargo, with the excep- tion of a few mattrescs, ploughs, fcc., ta- ken off ly the Newton. There were no Lady passengers on her. Captain Hunter, of the C. was slightly injured in the face. The C. was owned by the Capt, and AVallingfore, &. Co. and was not insured. The cargo was mostly Nashville freight, and is supposed to have been insured there. . AVe cannot, from any information in our possession, give any account of the manner iu which it occurred. AVe knew both Captains to be experi enced and exceedingly carrful. It occur red at an hour when but few persons on either boat, except those immediately in charge of the them, would b9 np. A statement will probably soon be made, when the facts m the case will appear. The California was a second cbss boat, worth, probably S7 or $8,000. The Is aac Newton is one of the best line pack ets, and one of the most powerful boats on the Ohio. Capt. Mason and officers are deeply distressed on account of the loss of life attending this unfortunate oc currence. Pitts. Gaz. FROM TAMPICO. Accounts from Tampico to the Gih in stant have been received at New Orleans. There does not appear to be any thing of interest in these accounts unless it be the following from the correspondence of the Delta : Tampico, January 28, 1847. I learned last night that Lieut. Ritchie, of the 4th Infantry, was assassinated at Villa Grande by a Mexican. He was on his way to Arictoria, escorted by a com pany of Kentucky cavalry. Gen. Tay lor encamped there for the night, and the Lieutenant was sauntering about the town I t . 1 rr.i wnen u nappeneu. i ne next morning the General had arrested the alcalde, but I have not learned whether the perpetra tor of the outrage had been taken. One of the officers of Gen. Quitman's division stated to me yesterday that the Mexican cavalry were in sight of them for more than half the march from Victo ria. On some clear place on the moun tain side thev would arrange themselves for a charge, and then start pell mell in the direction of the column. But I need not say to you that they never came within musket-shot. Several of the men who lagged behind were killed by them. One, a member of the Baltimore battal lion, was killed close to the rear guard being first shot, and then lanced in the breast. I have not, as yet, ascertained to what corps the other missing ones be longed. AVe hear nothing of an early movement from this place, and, from the prepara tion that are being made, it would be difficult to say when one would be made. At the encampment of Gen. Twiggs they are clearing off ground and building wharves, as though they contemplated a six weeks rest, and I understand Gen. Pillow will move nearer to the town than he now is. At twenty dollars per month there are at least one hundred Mexicans werkinir on the fortifications here, and from the manner in which they are being construc ted, one would think they had not the least intention of ever surrendering the place again.
