The resollitiona'whie are made the order of the
day for today " in our Legislature have Just been
postponed until this day three weeks," by a
strict party,voto.
The phstpo . nement was based upon the, fact that
the recent 'lnformation from Kansas rendered
their puke at this time, utinetenary, as it
would prebebiy lead to en amicable adjustment
by Canvass of the Kansas difficulty at an early
day. However, the resolutions hang like the
sword of Denloclea, ready to fall whenever the
necessity may'arise. Their morel effect remains
the same its if they bad been passed, and we only
hope that Congress, meanwhile, may harmonise
the party by harkening to the protest of Kans,ts,
end securing to the people those rights pleased
to them by the Democracy.
Yon ere perfectly safe to assuming that there
will be no difficulty in passing them, should the
necessity arrive.

in the exercises.
From the report of the principal, Mr. Wm. 11.
Minter, we learn that this school had been in
session fourteen weeks, commencing with 258
pupils,. and numbering in all 443 at the close.
The largest number of scholars present on any one
night was 282; average nightly attendance during
the term 206, and the weekly average 244.
The attainments of the scholars varied from en
tire ignorahoe of reading, writing, and arithmetic,
to that of a' tolerably fair English education.
Generally, however, the mass were very imperfect
ly educated. The rapid improvement and generally
correct demeanor of the pupils during the term Was
such as to warrant the assertion that the evening
echools ate gradually working 'a reformation in
the minds and morals of the young men who at
tend them. The report closes with some sugges
tions to parents and masters, that they should,
from time to time, examine tbo progress made by
their children and apprentices.
- At the conclusion of the reading of the report,
able and eloquent addressee were delivered by the
Rev. George Chandler, and Morton AfeMichael,
Esq. The termer gentleman made a warm appeal
in behalf of the public, school system of our city,
and the latter briefly but forcibly spoke of the in
calculable benefits which have resulted hitherto,
and still promise tb result, from the cause of free
- public education. -Ilia remarks had a very per
eeptible effect, and at their olOse were greeted
With cordial and prolonged applause.
-Prosentatione of handsome books were then
made to the following, teachers: Atlas R. Bar

Fanny Cramer, Miss Rebecca Sharpless, Ales Ellen
Watts, and. Mira Emily Miller. Neat spoeohes
from the pupils accompanied these presentations.
Seene al, the Pennsylvania Pank.—Tho
old Pennsylvania Bank building was yesterday
morning the' soone of a'very interesting, auction
gale of the desks, furniture, Icy., of this somewhat
notorious institution. A large number of persons
were 'attracted by the announcement of the sale.
Tho throng was divided Into two classes; first,

and, - secondly, the vanillin hucksters, who were
More bent upon getting bargains than they were
upon seeing or moralizing over the retie of the in

Most of the property offered for sale was mere
rubbish—old dilapidated desks and racks, used-up
tables, discarded looks, antiquated Iron chests,

having been retained for the use of the institu

'Wholesome provisions of our municipal statutes has
been one to prevent the sale of game in our sear
kets and thoroughfares out of slump. There are
se many exoolleot reasons for this, that no need
.hardly dwell, upon the • benefits arising. . But of
late there has sprung up a lucrative business of
.selling western game hero, and the profit made
'by selling game in seaeon has bred up an intense
desire on the part of the vendors to sell out of
Houton. 1n order to • aooomplish this, a modifies
tion of the statute Is, demanded, so that It shall
specifically exempt western game from the opera,

,that it will all be Western game in order to escape

who were affected by the notion of the Retiring
Board, to apply within one year, to have their
cases examined, the action by the Navel (karts of

might nominate for restoration. It was net knowm

Mr. Jo:ins, of Tennessee, would prefer that the

Mr, Mous?" of Alabama, from the Committee
of the Judiciary, reported a resolution wbjch nine adopted, authorising the committee to lend for
persona and papers in relation to the charge against
Judge Watrous, of Texas.
Mr. STANTON, of Ohio, offered a preamble set
ting forth that as it appears by the published
report of the committee appointed ro intestinal°
the affairs of the Middlesex litanufact ariasCo ,that
$87,000 were paid to secure the passaged - the tariff
net of 1837, and as no satisfactory explanation hoe
been given relative to the application of, I, but
$B,OOO. there should be an investigation, the ' o
tending very seriously to prejudice the on
and character of the members of the
who voted for the Melina.
Therefore, he proposed the appointment 614
ae
leot committee of five to investigate the eharges,
and inquire whether any member or officer of the
, House received any part of the money, witttemwer
to send for persona and papers. If the committee
tied that any part of the money was paid tor the
use or benefit, directly or indirectly, or any
om
oar or member of the Lionse, the oommittee i g ono.

another committee of fire ehall be appointed to
investigate such charges. The accused to be in

to be present for their defence, and the exittaina

Mr. STANTON said he had delayed offering the
resolution till now, in the hope that some gentle+

whether money had been used to influence the so

it seemed that the entry of money used in pap

Massachusetts, in widish the manufacturitia

matter probed to the bottom. lie took occasion tq
say that he did not believe that the handout WW4tI

which rested on it because of the honored dead who

-senior member of that firm had been unfortunate,'
rather than involved in the intention of orino4 4 .
Whatever may have boon his motives, he prefer
to esteem him m a friend, but he would not ehteld

When obarges are made in the prase, he deem* '
them unworthy of investigation. De regarded his
reputation tied the reputation of every gentleman
bore more than enough to look in the face the
whole combined prom of the country; but this Was
a different case. It involved one of the merchant
princes, in the booke of whose firm the entry ap
peared of 887,000 paid for procuring time passage of
tbo tariff act. This is a statement based one re
sponsible name,. and is an adequate foundation
for an investigaion. The record did not say hew
the money was distributed, It may have been'
spent legitimately to pay the expenses of agents.'
If it had got into the hands of any member of
Co:gross lot him dio the death. lie was for fol
lowing the precedent of the last Congress in eon
dueling this proposed investigation. The seleelo
committee appointed to Inquire into the ehargval
against certain members charged with corruption
eppressed no man in his rights and character. All
were treated Justly, carefully and tenderly. Be
opposed at length Mr. Stanton's proposition, whisk
charged the committee with the powers of a grend
jury, and in the absence of the record left the ohne
motor of the aroused open to suspielon.
Mr. STANTON, in rep?, said ho proposed Mud.
tho committee should keep a full record of the
proceedings, to be produced whenever occasion
required. -
Mr. Davis, of Maryland, said the gentians*
proposed to take everything of advantage to tie
moused, and tine would embarrass the prom*
logs with difficulties.
Mr. KUNKEL, of Pennsylvania remarked that
all such investigations involved time, trouble, and
expense, but he was in favor of the one now pro
posed. The charges were extensively made ovir
the whole country, and if they wore nothing mote
than newspaper charges, ho would bo still for An
investigation. lie could not oonour with the oil
nioneof the gentleman from Maryland, reletive to
the newspaper press, which had not failed to aerie
Its function. You may put corrupt ,men in tie
Rouse and the Senate, and corruption may reek
all along the avenue, yet with nll Its Maumee a foe
press may save the liberties of the people. Tits
charge, however, was not raado in the neivspater
press alone, but on the authority of a committeohf
the stockholders of the Middlesex atanutlieturitg
Company. Ile knew nothing about Lawrence,
Stone, .4 - Company. It Is said they were the "mil'

those " merchant princes' had atm* hands wth

Mr. Buttertomun replied that the gontle4n

added, If the gentleman moans that that was

Members were assailed with regard to corruption
in connection with the tariff pellet. It had been
charged over and over again that members hod
combined for Mercenary considerations to gip

Mr. Denim, of Illinois, thought It was Farr
that some investigation should take place, thoegh
it did not :afoot hint, and those with whotn,fie

Mr. Moricon, of New York, wished to knovi'hy
what authority the gentleman made that asssr

Mr. liannis replied that he had before him the
names of those who voted for a moditleation of the
tariff. Nothing had transpired to Mow in Went
direction the money had gone, but from what true
piled at the last session, the Democratic side had
very little to fear from the present investigatign.
It' might be well enough to go to Boston, but they
had better turn to the t. envoy' soul Globe, where
Would bo found a 0005 worthy of *consideration.
lie meant that of Mr. Matteson, who, fortunately,
was not a member of the Democratic minty. lie
then offered an ittnendment, setting forth the ,pro.
mailings of the last House relative to Mr. Matte

•to take all the feels into consideration, and report
what action was necessary in vindicating the:eha-, ,

objeett of the manufacturers was tog et rid of the

Congress should not be held in lon esteem than
that of a petty thief, who entitled to a. fair

Mr. STANTON Mild the clerk of the House was
the person monad. The Fort Snelling did not
involve the rights of any member, or the character
of the Mouse. Tho solo of the property was an ant
of the lixeoutivc. and as the House had no power

Mr Larciinn. „Your explanation amounts to

Mr. Sitannaw, of Ohio, with the record before
him called attention to the foot that only thirty
Republicans voted for the tariff bill on the pas
sage, with ninety-eight who opposed the Republi
can party. Among the nays only two Democrats
voted against it, while seventy Republicans voted
against it. Therefore, ho thought the chances of
being involved in the charges would be against
his friend from Illinois.
Mr. Le:rant:ft replickthat one good turn deserves
another. He did not consider the charges fie rest
ing against the Democratic party, because with
the, practical illustration of the last Congress, to
~mane the Republican party stand guilty.
Mr. Sitannis responded. If there was any
thing wrong, or fraud, or bribery engrafted in the
legislation of the tariff bill it was net done by the
Republican party, for thirty Republicans only
,voted for and seventy against it, While only two
Democrats voted against It.
, Several votes were taken on amendments to Mr.
Stanton's proposition, when the House adopted the
substitute offered by Mr. Leteher, that a select
committee of five members be appointed to three

and officers of the last House, growing out of the
disbursement of any sums of money by Lawrence,
Stone, its Co., or other persons, and report the Gets
to the House, with such recommendations as they
may deem proper, with power to send for persons
and papers.
Mr. Sraxvox withdrew his preamble, as the
Rouse had seen fit to throw the subject in the

on Monday week unless good reasons were shown
for its further postponement.
Mr. BLAIR, of Missouri, wished to offer an amend

for the testimony suppressed by the Corruption In

THE MONEY MARKET.
Pumsnexrnts, January 15th, 1858,
The European news shoves a steady amelioration
in the London money market, a rapid accumula
tion of gold, and easier rates both at the bank and
in the discount houses Every indication is pre
sented of a plethora of unemployed capital, the
Brat effect of which is found in the increasing
prices of stooks. T 1 e ewe features are prevalent
here, and the stock market shows a fair business
at prices which ere not difficult to understand when
compared with the prices of six months ago, and
the great decline in all other artioles purchased or
told. This state of things is alone indicative of a
future in which high rates of discount will be rarely
deutanded. unless where the risk of loss is propor
tionably great.
English Consols hate advanced from the lowest
point in October 71 per cent. The price was then
901, and It has now ranched 94 for accoent. This
advance is about the name as after the panic of
1847, when the lowest point reached was 791, and
the recovery at the close of the year was to 851,
el-dividend. The rate of bank of England dis-
counts, which on the 25th October was fiend at 8
per cent., was reduced at intervals to 7, 0 and 5
per cont. before the end of the year, and by the
15th June following it was 31 per cent.
The decline in all kinde of merchandise and
produce will be apt to occasion additional fail
ures. and capitalists who have succeeded in with
drawing their money from commerce and com
mercial paper, will, for a time, prefer to invest it
Into stocks.
While all kinds of inmtment securities are
appreciating In price, no paper can be eold unless
known to be, beyond a doubt, at rates below one
and a half per cent. a month, and but little
passes at even Qrese high figures. Favorite piper
can be mold at from B to 10 per cent., but the sup
ply of it is very limited.

principal railroads fur last month, compared with
those for December, 1850.

llre notice by the latest California papa re that
money has grown ensler during the fortnight ow
ing to a falling off in the demand, and within a
few days loans upon merchandise security have
been readily negotiable at two per cent. per month.
As we write more funds are offering than there are
I borrowers for.
An agreed case has been made up and submitted
to the Supreme Court for testing the right of the
people to legalize the payment of the California
State debt by vote as they did at the late election;
a decision is looked for speedily, and it is not
doubted will be affirmative.
Owing ton conflict going on in the courts of San
Francisco, between the Commissioners of the City
Funded Debt and the hoard of Supervisors about
some legal technioalities, the City Treasurer is not
empowered to remit funds to Now York to provide
for the coupons falling duo, but will pay them on
presentation at hie office in this city. This lad'.
really a violation of the terms upon which the loan
was contracted, and will injure the emelt of the
oily abroad.

era or the county prison. ought not to kart been allows
ed to he given in evidence against him. The siotat,efter
argument ant deliteeraM considendion, *et aside the
verdict end Granted a new trial Tide judgment ins
rested upon the ground, that it was eontruy to public
policy, and not consistent with a lair sdroudetration
of the criminal law. to allow confessloni or statements
made under notch eireumntancee, to be given in evidence
against A defendant, when on trial. Thiel:ls going very
far, and we do not desire to be et:den:toad. as endors
ing the entire correctness of that „deelsion. Pat
the principle holds with munch greater force kgalnet
the present offer, which is, that an officer connected
with the pelvis department of this city glean be
al
lowed to read to the jury notes or memoranda made by
:din of what the prisoner said when under 014111104-

he to be allowed to refresh kin memory by readies his,
memoranda, and from a memory thus refrashed to tea.

not allow him to any anything more; seemed

before 0 o'clock some time I sew him in toe-office; ant

the reply wag, our business wan mostly North and East,
and we did not with to ailvertde ; he did not mention
whet paper; can't remember hls preelee words, hot be
made a reply; he said, then I can do nothing with you,

Rene: B. rimming, rocalled.—l went to the alder
man's oiliee and sow the prisoner there; observed his
manner there; after I had been seers Mihail given
my teetimony, the alderman fished him whethei he had
nay questions to oak me; lee said " not any;" be
said it very quietly, bet he was laboring under
great excitement , more so than be had at the
hotel ; 1 observed hie eye the time ho tired the last
two gusts, ant I thee had a fair opportunity of 'sh
innying any unusual glare, or net; I was somewhat
agitated, but cool enough to observe with accuracy
what eves going on; didn't see any unusual glare Omit
his ale; if there Ina been I think I would have observed'
it; I observed his eves hen I got to the Mayor's office;
I observed it when he was caked to mst question.; to the
10h:tames; ho looked me in the face; said ho had no
questions to nek—he had shot the man' his manner
eves not very agitated ; he talked low. not as loud as I
I talk now ; it wasn't necessary ; he was right in front of
the alderman • he was restless, but he couldn't move
I about much. therei wasn't room ; my_ opinion is he was
rime a t that time.
Crone-examined —I have stated, I think, all the fact'
on which my judgment is founded ; had navel seer , his
till that evening; I thought be was very cool for the
circumstances.
Re-examined —I form my opinion on everything I
have said in this case.
James MeCendlese, retailed—haw the prisoner et th e
hotel probably half an hour; I hare described that he
was conversing with Mr. Carter; I did not observe any
thing anti that in Res Ohneter Cr department; didn't
phitrva nay wildness of manner; didn't particularly
look at his enuntennore While he was cOnTOrling; I did I
not see him when ho first came in; eaw bin countenance
et the time of the shooting; observed something pecu
liar about his eye; do not know that I could call it a I
glare; I SAW hint when he walked not; saw him during
the time he wee going eat, end after ho was out;
I ease him in the police allies ; I observed his counte
nance then; there was nothing nominal a out it, than
that he appeared much excited, and as I stated before,
something peculiar about his eye; I observed - his con
duct at the Mayor's office,• there was nothing peculiar
in it; I heard whathe said at the Mayor's office ; when
the examination of the witnesses was gone Through
with, be wished to stand tip before the alderman and
make a statement; be said, I'm an honest men," end
requested to atelto a statement; the alderman sug
gested he'd better. not; made one or twix efforts, and
was then taken out of the naive; my opinion is he was
sane and had full knowledge or what he was doing—
first, because of his composed manner of sitting while
conversing with Mr. Carter; steamily, the manner in
'which he used his weapon; and thirdly, his manner'
idtee shooting, warning those to ;tend off, stating be
would submit to the alder of the law; again, when
out ice the street turning bit head around, to, °Mere* if
he was followed, I suppose; end hie manner to the
officer in asking hint for protection as if he leered he
weskit be mobbed, and his manner in the alderman's l i i
office; this I base my opinion upon.

him al the time at the firing.
