In executive session the Senate confirmed the appointment of Mr. Lamar as Minister to Nicaragua, and that of Gen. Denver as Gover nor of Kansas. A treaty with the Nether lands, for the extradition of criminals, fugi• tives fromjustice and deserting sailors, was ratified. The motion to reconsider the vote confirming the appointment of certain naval officers whose cases had been before the Courts of Inquiry was taken up, when Gen. Houston roundly denounced tho entire proceedings of the naval tribunals, and was particularly severe in condemnation of the conduct of the Retiring Board. The session ended without the question being taken. In the House the Special Committee to investigate the charges connected with the $87,000 tariff fund was announced. It consists of Messrs. Stanton, republican, of Ohio, chair man ;' Moor, democrat, of Alabama; Kunkle, republican, of Pennsylvania, Wright, democrat, of Georgia; and Russell, democrat, of New York.

The Judiciary Committee were directed to inquire into the expediency of a law restraining the introduction of foreign paupers and criminals into the United States. The House refused to consider a resolution proposing an amendmeL to the constitution providing that only native born citizens, and those naturalized under the general natu ralization laws, shall he deemed as electors.

A bill was introduced providing for the apportionment of the patronage of the executive department , : among the Sorrel- ;Ind T er rit.rries. Tyr:-amv, Jan. 19 The in,iqt important newer fruit Washington is the introdknition in the Semite to day by Mr. Gwin, the chairman of the special committee on the subject, of it bill authorizing the con struction of a railroad to the Pacific. It pro poses to locate the road at a point on the Missouri rive• between the Big Sioux and the Kansas rivers, them, running to San Francis co on the most eligiLle rotue. In ;Lid of the construction of the work alternate sections of land on each side of the road are to he grant ed, and $12,5(a) advanced on this completion of every twenty five miles of the track, until $25,000,000 ere expended, the amount 'Si be reimbursed in mail service and the transpor tation of troi.ps and munitions of war.

The joint resolution providing, or the distribution of the patronage of the execu tive departments equitably among the States and Territories was referred to a select com mittee of seven, the House having previously refused, by a vote of 43 against 143, to lay the subject on the table. WEDNESDAY, Jan. 20 Several important subjects were brought forward in Congress today. A bill was introduced in the Senate, and referred to the Military Committee, to increase the efficiency of the army and marine corps by retiring the disabled officers. It is to be hoped that in this business blunders like those which occur red with respect to the naval officers will he avoided. Notice was given of a bill changing the mode of appointing cadets to the West Point Military Academy and modifying the laws regulating that institution. Mr. Hale concluded his speech on the Kansas question. Mr. Harlan, of lowa, will continue the discus sion. In the House bills for the protection of life on board ocean steamers ; granting lands to aid in the construction - of railroads in Cali fornia, and for the payment of French spoila tion claims, were introduced and referred. Afte the announcement of the special commit tee on the distribution pro rata of the patron. age of the executive departments among the States and Territories, the House went into committee of the whole on the President's Message, and discussed the Pacific Railroad project. Filially the House, by a vote of 136 to 60, agreed to refer the subject to a select committee of fifteen. The Senate to-day, in executive session, after considerable debate, confirmed all the appointments of naval officers affected by the naval courts, which had been sent in by the President. The vote stood twenty-four to fourteen. THURSDAY, Jan. 21 In the Senate to-day a bill providing for an increase of the army was reported from the Military Committee, and made the special order for Monday next. The bill proposes to increase the number of men of the various regi ments, and not the organization of new regi ments as recommended by the War Depart ment. The Homestead bill was reported by the Committee on Public Lands, with a recom mendation that it be passed. It was made -the special order for the second IN] (many in February. The Secretary of War was called en for estimates of the deficiency in the appro• priations for the payment of the volunteers operating in Florida during the past year. Mr. Doolittle's resolution authorizing the presentation °c .a. medal to Com. Paulding, was then taken up, and a debate ensued on the filibuster question, in which Mr. Doolittle extolled the conduct of the Commodore in capturing Gen. Walker, and Messrs. Brown and Pugh condemned it. Mr Brown offered a substitute of Mr. Doolitlle's resolution, dis avowing and condemning the action of Pauld ing. Without taking the question, the Senate adjourned till Monday. In the House the civil, judicial, legislative, naval and fortifica tion appropriation bills were reported. A bill .was also reported appropriating $790,000 to supply deficieneeies for paper, printing, bind ing and engraving fur the last two Congresses. Bilis were reported to refund to certain parties duties collected on merchandise destroyed by fire in New York in July, 1845 ; also for a uniform code of maritime signals. The Senate resolution allowing the naval courts of inquiry to sit until the 17th of April to examine the cases of the retired naval officer.” was passed. A sal) AFFAIR A heart-rending calamity occurred in Brooklyn, N. Y., on Tuesday last. The public school, situated on the corner of Navy and Coneord streets, was utterly destroyed by fire, and as there were about seven hundred chil dren in it at the time, and tile fire was not discovered till it had made considerable pro gress, such confuSion and terror spread among them that the stairways leading from the male department were completely choked and ren dered impassable. The consequence was that several of the younger children got badly trampled, and as the windows were now the only means of escape, several of the boys who leaped from them were severely and some fatally injured, while others were suffocated by the volumes of smoke. In all, seven boys have died from one cause or the other, and three others are more or less injured. The fire broke out in the lower part of the build ing, and was first discovered in the female department, which was located on the second floor, and it is owing to this fact that nearly all the girls escaped uninjured.

Smith, indicted for the murder of Richard Carter, in Philadelphia, tho Jury came into Court, on Tuesday morning, with a verdict of acquittal on the ground of insanity. An application was thereupon made by the Counsel for the Commonwealth lo have him confined in the Insane Asylum, or at least to have bin: placed under bonds to keep the peace. The Court appointed Thursday for the hearing and disposition of the case, and we clip the following proceedings from the Evening Argue of that date: The Si. Lawrence Hotel Tragedy—The Applieation ef Miss Mary Smith disposed qt . — Prisoner Released on giving Security in the sum rf ssooo.—This morning, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, before Judges Allison and Ludlow, the application of Miss Mary Eliza. heth Smith, the sister of Thomas Washington Smith, who was acquitted on Tuesday:of the chartSe of homicide, in killing Richard Carter, was brought before the Court, who were asked to release the prisoner. Several witnesses were called to prove that Smith had got much better since the acquittal than before. They thought that by giving hint into the custody of his sister he would soon recover, and thought that if he was placed in. a lunatic asylum it would result in his death. Miss Smith -was called to the stand, and stated that she : desired to take him to New Castle county, Delaware, among his friends, and there she thought she would be able to divert his mind in such a manner that would be beneficial to his health. Mr. Townsend Ras called, and stated he had seen the wife of the defendant and her father, and it was their intention to remove to Wilkesbarre either to day or to-morrow. Both District Attorneys . consented to the prayer of the petition, thinking that was the hotter mode. The Court stated they would release the prisoner un his entering security in the sum of $5OOO. Hundreds upon hundreds 'congregated in and 'about the Court House,a carriage that had been procured fur ghe purpose of conveying him from the Court House, drove off around two or three squares, evidently for the purpose of misleading the people. The crowd followed it, and on going down Sixth street, a favorable though momentary opportunity offered itself, and Smith was seen to run across the street into the carriage, which was driven off in the most rapid manner, with the crowd still fol. lovving'after, and cheering as they run: Thus has ended one of the most important murder trials which has taken place in our city for many years, and the verdict rendered by the Jury has been universally approved. DEATH or Cut.. LEHALINOSKT.—A few days ago Col. Lemahnosky, the illustrious Pole, who served under Napoleon during the times of the republic and the empire, died near llamburg, Clark county, Indiana, aged 88 years. He was among the first to rally to the standard of the Little Corporal, and never betrayed his trust or his master from the siege of Toulon to his final overthrow and exile.— Many of us have listened to his lectures, and remember the thrilling incidents related by the old man. He was in Italy and in Egypt, land beheld the sanguinary conflicts that - took place beneath the shadows of the pyramids, cruised the Red Sea, and among the arid wastes of the desert beheld the ravages of the plague cut down the flower of the army; yet did he cling to the fortunes of tho great cap tain with that peculiar tenacity that marked the followers of the greatest general that ever trod the earth. For his devotedness he , suffered imprisonment in the loathsome•dun ,geons of Paris, and, at last, exile from the land of hie first adoption to the home of the free. Here he lived an exemplary Christian, and when he was called to fight the last battle he girded on the armor of faith, and fell beneath the scythe of death, to be welcomed victirious Yn eternity. He was buried with Masonic honors, and while he lived could boast of being one of the officers that initiated the great Napoleon into the mysteries of that ancient and honorable order.—Nets Albany, (Ind.)

The account of Premium , otes represents the rates charge. able an three fourths of the estimated value of property. The amount of losses to the Company for the year, is nine thousand. two hundred and seventy-one dollars and twenty cents, ($9,271.20.) which includes the recent losses of John Sigle on his Cabinetmaker Shop and Contents, Insured for $500.00, and Christian Overholtaer on his Barn and Con tents, insured for $326 00, and Wagon Shed and Contents insured for $175 00; a full account of other losses to the Company during the year. was published In the weekly Topers of the County. in the month of November. It Is cause for gratulation to the members of the Company that the losses for tills year are $5.500 lest than lost year, and when iL Is considered that the estimated value of prop erty insured in this Company is about eight millions of dollars. 1$8,000.000.) the losses to the Company have been comparatively small. It is. however. a source of regret and alarm. that nearly three fourths of the amount of losses for the year, are supposed to have heen occasioned by in cendiaries, and that in every instance without being able to discover the guilty ones. A few years airo. when a large amount of property had been unmistakably destroyed by incendiaries, a great deal of alarm and anxiety prevailed in the neighborhood, and nn ethics were called to devise some plan that would lead to their detection. Among other things done, it was recom mended to the Board of Directors to offer a large reward. equal In amount to one-half of the property destroyed, which was done, but filled In Ito purpose. The last assessment of per cent, mode in November. and the only one fur the year, will be sufficient to pay for all losses during the year. The Board availed themselves of the opportunity to borrow money from individuals, to pay for looses, as they occurred, in order to avoid the neces sity of making more than one assessment for the year; the interest of the money borrowed, being less than the expenses incurred in making an assessment. The Board would take this opportunity to again notify members of the Company, who may have neglected to pay their assessments, that the time for the payment of the same will ha extended until the 15th of February. after which time, delinquents will be called upon by a Collector. duly authorized to collect the same, and they will he subject to the payment of mileage as usual.
