American in* dnatry, and Fifty or sixty other memorials presented by Mr. Oahbron, of Pennsylvania, from nearly all the cons* ties of Pennsylvania, making the same request.

Mr; Seward also presented a memorial of the gold and itilve?-leaf manufacturers In the city of New York and elsewhere. „ Also, three-petitions of the citizens of Oneida and Jefferson conuties, New York, praying for tho erection of a breakwater .at the port of Cape Vincent. All of these'petitions were appropriated to the proper com mittees. Mr. Glat. of Alabama, submitted a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the President for copies of the correspondence between the Mexican Govern ments Minister ForsHh, and the Btate Department, and such other information as will elucidate the compllca* tiona which resulted in the suspension of diplomacy be tween the.two Governments. Mr, Hunter, of Virginia, submitted a resolution, which was adopted, requesting the Postmaster General to inform the Senate what changes in .the postal law. are necessary io render the Department self-sustaining. On motion of Mri Mallory. of Florida, a joint reso lution was adopted, permitting certain' officers of tho navy to accept from , the Bntnh Government medals and snuffboxes. Mr. Witß-m* of Massachusetts, introduced a bill, which war referred to the Committee on the District of Oolntnbia, to appropriate a million aoros of public lands for the benefit of the free public schools in the Dis trict. : - Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, reported from the Com mittee on Military Affairs, a substitute for the bill re lating to military affairs Several messages, the contents of which aTe unknown, were received from the President, whereupon the Senate went into executive session for several hours, aftorwhich the Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Heuse passed the •oldiers of 1812 pension bill, by a vote of 180 yeas to 78 nays. Onmotion of Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, the House resolved itself into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, on the bill for the payment of invalid and other pensions, appropriating $62,000. The Military Academy bill, appropriating nearly $lBl,- 000 for its support, was also considered. Mr Giddivcui of Ohio, said that while some gentle men were scrupulous about voting for soldiers’'pension bill, paying those who had' fought, the bill before the House proposed paying men to learn to fight. He com plained of appropriations for purposes of war, our mis sion being peace, and a standing army not having been contemplated by the fonnders of onr Government. They would soon he called upon to vote large sums for fortifications, which in a quarter of a century would be as useless as the old settlers of the Rhine. . Mr. Lovbjov, of Illinois, asked the speaker whether he believed the soldiers pension bill to be right, Mr Giddinos was glad that his reverend friend had asked him that question. As the pension system had been adopted, he would deal out even-handed justice. Congress had squandered money on Lieutenant General Scott, while there were men living in his district not .worth one hnndred dollars who had fought as gallantly. Mr. Lovejot said that his theology was that two wrongs did not make a right. General Scott and Gene ral Cass were pensioners by the bill just passed as well as the venerable gentleman from Ohio. It was like Oli ver Twist presenting his howl and asking for mote soap. , [Laughter.] A new pension system was in augurated to-day. opening a sluiceway to the bottom less ocean of corruption. If the vote had been by bal lot there would not have been fifty votes in its favor, [Laughter.] But the “ old soldiers” afforded occasion tor highfalutin and humbug, and vm made a hobby, like boys riding on b*oomsticks [Laughter.] He would vote against , the Military Academy and all military bills. That was good theology as well as Christianity. Mr. Gidpibgs replied that the House bss not inau gurated anew system of pensions. It woe inaugurated In 1818, aod has been maintained np to the present &r. LovSjov responded that it was a new system to pension well men. After a while. Congress will be cailid upon to pension those who wero enraged In.the Mexican, the Florida, and every other petty war.' The Military Academy bill was laid aside, to be re ported to tbeHonse. Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, offered a series of resolu tions, referring the various brarohes of the President’s message to the appropriate standing committees. Mr. OoMiKfl. of Massachusetts remarked that there was much in the message to approve and much to con demn. While tho President was anxious toeoforceipea snres agaiost Spain and other eonntries for the ratiefac tion of claims, even to war, he had nothing to say of the delinquency of onr own Government, and the negleot of Congress to do justice to tho olalme of its own citi zens, which were founded on justice. He then ex fdained and advocated the bill for the relief of Nathan el and Benjamin Goddard, the claim growing out of.the seizure of the ship Adriano daring the.war of 1812 • GkobghTaylor, of New' York, reviewed the oorre*- pondence on the t abjvct of our Central American reia tioas, showing inconsistency and a contradictory course pursued by England, and exposing her object, which be believed to be to defeat our polloy, and to seenre a firmer footing on the Isthmus. He doubted the good faith of England in seeking to avoid a direct issue on the Olayton-Bulwer treaty, by negotiating with the weak States of Central America, and not directly with the Government of the United SUtce. He advocated the abrogation of the Olayton-Bulwer treaty, and a more decided polloy on onr part, as dne to tho Interest and honor of this nation. He reviewed the history of the Mooroe doctrine, explained the circumstances un der which It was announced, and the necessity of it at the time, as well as its importance now. He sustained the President’s me*B»ge throughout. . Mr. Morris, of Illinois, explained bis bill, giving the people of the organised Territories authority to eieettheir judges, governors, and all other officers, aod providing for the formation of State Constitutions when they have sufficient population to eleot one Rep resentative to Congress. He bad hoped that the old issue on the Lecomptoa Constitution would have been allowed to sleep, but it had been revived by the Presi dent in his message. The Democracy of Illinois have always been brave and faithful yet a hostile policy has been pursued towards them by the Administration. The guillotine has bees et work, and good men have been displaced, and their places supplied by miserable scoundrels and sycophants. This he boldly asserted and con’d prove. Mr, Wibhdursb, of Illinois, asked t Do I under stand that such persons have been appointed by the present Administration ? Mr. Mobxts replied that he did not assert that the character of those individuals wa* known to the heads of Departments, hut it is afaotihat they were appointed to office. The passage of his bill would quiet the slave ry agitation in Congress. Mr. Ritchie, of Pennsylvania, characterized the election of judges and governors of Territories as ab surd, and referred to Utah to show what would be its unfavorable operation there. Mr. Mobrib said that Mr. Ritchie could insert an amendment exempting the Territory of Utah from the operation of the bill. - Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, asked and obtained per mission to print his speech. The subject was not men tioned. Mr Alh.l&on, of Virginia, gave some reasons why be was opposed to the renewal of specifle duties. The committee then rose. The invatidpension and the West Point appropriation bills were psssod. Mr. Morris, of Pennsylvania, gave notice of his in tention to introduce.a bill providing for specifle duties on a certain class of imports, and so amendatory of the present tariff as to furnish an increase of revenue to the Treasury, and proper protection to the labor and industry of the country. Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, asked leave, but objection was made, to offer a resolution instructing the Com mittee on foreign Affairs to report a bill authorizing the President to take possession of Onba, until satis faction was given for the insults offered, to the persons and property of our oltlzens. The House then adjonrned. Indiana Legislature* ELECTION OF 3IESSRS. LANE AND U'CAUTT TO TnE UNITED SPATES SENATE IN PLACE OF MESSRS. BBiant and men.

Meeting, of tee Sons op New England. —Yesterday being the two hundred and thirty-eighth anniversary of the laoding bf the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rook, it was celebrated by the “ Society of the Sons of New'England in Pennsylvania,” by a ,festival given, yesterday evening, in Hansom-street Hall. The room was filled by a v *ry large company of lanes and gentle men. The greatest good humor prevailed, the assem blage having more the appearance of a reunion of old acquaintances than a promiscuous gathering of New Englanders. Many were the greetings, many the remi niscences of the olden time. The banquet was composed mainly of Yankee dishes—the pumpkin pies, the “ ap ploßwa,” the oranberry tarts the brown b end, and the other appetising characteristics of Easterndom, be ing iu a cornucopian profusion. Professor Allen pre sided, and after proposing, in a few profatory and pa triots remarks, the routine sentiments, complimentary to oar rulers, national. State, and municipal, the me mory of the Pilgrim Fathers was tofst-d enthusias tically. Emerson Bennett, Esq., responded by read ing a few descriptive stansas, detailing In rhyme the voyage of the Pilgrims—the sea, the storms, the perils, the safe arrival, and the other incidents which are sup posed-to have attended that memorable expedition. Mr. Bennett was applauded lustily. The fifth senti ment—(l Plymouth—the homo and grave of the PU grlms+-the nursery of an Empire wea responded to by Professor Stevens in a very eloquent and pertinent address, fraught with many recollections, personal and historical, of the toasted town. A Yankee song to a Scottish tune, written for the oc casion by a “ daughter of New England,” was then sung by the company, standing. This song was the feature of the evening, and wtß applauded beyond moacore. ■ Other sentiments were proposed, other speeches were made, and other songs were sung, ac companied with the usual modicum of enthusiasm and applause, when the company adjourned at an hour both seasonable and Puritanic. Fire at the Blogklby Almshouse.—A fire broke out, at half-past two o’clock yesterday morning, atlhe-Almshouse, which, had it cot been discovered In time, would have caused agreat loss of life and valuable property. The fire broke out iu the south wing of the mam building, in a room on the first floor, which is used for stowing away the clothing or the paupers. When they are admitted to this institution they are divested of their olothing, which la deposited in th : a room, and they are provided with clothing to wear while they re main Immediately under this room are the bake-ovens, and in this room about twenty barrels of flour are baked every day, which operation, of coarse, requires a con siderable amount of heat. The floor of this room is laid on Bleepers, Immediately over the ovens of the bake-room underneath, and a charring process has doubtless been gol?g on for a long time. There Is an area window in the bake room, which was blown open by the high winds of Tuesday night, which draft had the eff.ct of rekindling the smouldering fires in tee ovens, the flames of which came in contact with the floor. The clothing of seventeen hundred paupers was entirely destroyed, or so muoh damaged as t> be entirely use less The fire was discovered by one of the watchmen who, with the assistance of the officers, and a lot of hose, succeeded in extinguishing the flames before an alarm of fire was given. A few articles of furniture were destroyed in the room used by the board as a meeting room, and the floors of two rooms partially de stroyed. The propriety of removing the bake ovens from their present location, and constructing bake hooses ln the yards, has been frequently discussed, and we trust that alter this warning it will be promptly carried out. The amount of damage is estimated at $1,600, there being no insurance on the clothing. Petty Theft.—lt ia singular bow some people are led to steal, for the sako of stealing, and not beoause their necessities lead them to adopt this means for obtaining articles which they oonsider necessary for their individual support. We have known several in* stances where ladies have become so habituated to pur loining articles from stores and dwelling, whether valu able oroiherwlse, that their frailties have become well known to shop-keepers and others, who Invariably send In the bills to the ladies 1 husbands, which are promptly paid without theirwivea 1 cognizance, they remaining iu happy ignorance, and firmly believing that their ward robes hate been supplied with some little extravagance without having cost them anything. A esse in point was tried before Alderman Beitl«r, of the Ninth ward, on Tuesday morning. A fine-looking young man, the son of wealthy parents, who reside in Charleston, 8. G., was charged with the larceny of a bundle of cigars. He is represented as being very flush of change, and doubt’eas could have paid for a doaen cigar Bhopa if necessary } yet by some uncontrollable impulse, he was led In a fatal hour to commit the larceny of this trifling bundle of cigars. -He'was held to bail fora further hear ing. Truly we should pray to t( be not led into temp tation. » . Frightful Accident.— The paper ware house of Afagarge Sc Co., In Sixth street, below Mar ket, was yesterday afternoon the scene of a frightful casaalty. A heavy mass of paper wag upon the hoist way, being palled upward by ateam-apparatus, and two meo who were in the employ of the firm, to save the trouble of ascending the stairs, were riding upon the platform with the paper. When the platform had reached the fourth story of the building, by some unfortunate circumstance, the chain supporting the platform gave way. precipitating the platform down into the cellar underneath. Notwithstanding the sudden fait and the violent shock, both m*n remained on the platform. That they were not killed at once Is almost miraculous. When they were tskon up, one of them was found to have his head cut and bruised very muoh, but was able to speak; the other was insensible jot still alive. They received severe injaries by coming la contact whh the hatchways In their perilous descent. The unfortunate men were conveyed to their residences, and but little hopes are entertained of thoir recovery. Wife Beaten.— A man, Darned Lawrence Barey, had a hearing before Alderman Conrow, yes ter day morning, on the charge of committing an assault and battery on his wife, with intent fo kill. This hardened wretch had some little difficulty wtth bin wife on some trifling subject, when, it is alleged, be knocked the poor woman down and abused her shame fully. She is said to have been injured to suoh an ex tent that she was unable to speak yesterday morning. The Inhuman wretch of a husband was sent to prison by the alderman. The parties reside at Twenty-roorth and Spring Garden streets.. Assaulted his Sister.—On Tuesday night, a man named George Emery, residing lu ttao Eleventh ward, committed a violent assault upon his sistor. Offi cer Xukens repaired to the promises and attempted to arrest the offender, when he drew a knifr and made a thrust at the officer, but failed in inflicting a blow. Emery then seized a cleaver, which be attempted to use on the officer, but was secured before he hid ac complished his design. lie h&d a hearing before Al derman Butler,' yestordsy morning, acd was held to answer. Hospital Oases.—A man named Frederick Kubler, aged thirty-five years recoived a compound fracture of his right arm, yesterday, while attempting to jump on a train of cars on the North Pennsylvania road. He fell on the track, receiving the above-named iojnry. A man named William Sifflcke, aged twenty-ono years, was stabbed on Tuesday night, by a man named John Ritter. His face and head were badly cat, but his wounds are not of a dangerous character. Leotuke op Me. P. A.

The necessity for a new Government loan continues to exert a depressing influence npon the stock market, and it Is not likely that aoy improvement will be sus tained until the loan is taken, the specie handed over, and bank losns adjusted to correspond with the new state of affairs. It is very doubtful whother the Secre tary of the Tressury will be able to get as good terms for this Joan as he did for the last. The highest takers of the first ten millions have realized little or ne profit; the foreign market failed to meet tbelr expectations, and the loan now can be freely purchased'at 104#. New York olty six per cents are heavy &t par, and at a recent sale by auction, Boston five per cont. stocks, al ways in high favor, aeld at only 1 to 1# por cent, pre mium. 'With suoh feelings and views prevalent in the minds of moneyed men,"and in the face of the expec tations ,of active business and a-demand for money in tho spring, even Government credit will hardly com mand as high a premium as before. The Bucks county Intelligencer says that the North Pennsylvania Railroad seems to be getting along very well, aad the future prospects of the rosd are quite cheering- We see it stated that the amount of the first'mortgage bonds of this company is $2,600,000, all of which have been disposed of by the company, so that none at present remain on hand unsold. Tho amount of .the chattel loan is $600,000 yet for disposal. The floating debt, as near as can be ascertained, is inside of $200,000. This year the company will come within a small amount of earning the interest on their funded debt. The future prospects of the road may, therefore, be regarded as highly favorable, taklrg Into considera tion the great prostration of business affairs during the past season, and the financial difficulties which nearly all our railroads experienced in a greater or less degree. The North Pennsylvania Railroad penetrates a wealthy region of country, teeming with the riohe6t mineral and agricultural products, all of whioh must be de veloped in thecourso of time, and add immensely to the receipts and resources of the company. The road is now In complete running order, with an ample number of first'Class locomotives, lenders, and cars. Its busi ness is increasing, and as the company’s a flails are now being managed with efficiency and eoonomy, there oan be but little doubt of ultimate success. The Westmoreland Goal Company lave declared a dividend of 8 cent, payable on the fid. of January next at the office of the company. The proprietors of Imiay Sc Biokoell’s Bank-Note Reporter have purchased V&ocourt’a Detector, and consolidated it with their own; so that now the talent of the three formerly issued is merged into ene.

' CITY ITEMSi Garland’s Conpeotionbut Establishment and Dininq Saloons —As the holidays are sow at hand, wo can probably Bud no more appropriate time to giv®, the elegant new establishment o' Messrs. Joseph Garland & Bhothbh, No. 020 Chestnut street-, the notice it deserves, than the present. Many of our readers are, doubtless, already acquainted with this new public convenience—for such it is—hut those -who are not we mean now to plsoe under obligations by giving them information concerning it, which we hro quite snre they will find of service in future. In the first place, this olegantly-fitted-up establish- < ment has supplied a long-felt public need in affording a , suitable restaurant for ladies, where those who may not find it convenient at all times to dine at home, can : be accommodated with a comfortable meal at all hours j of the day, in comparative privacy, and where the ob served proprieties are such as to' make them perfectly < at ease in doing so. Bat, as we are glad to testify from experience, their facilities for dining gentlemen ate no lean worthy of the most liberal patronage. In fact, we know of no place, in this or any other city, whole so delicious a meal in furnished at so moderate a cost as at the Messrs.. Ga rland’s. This' fact, by the scores of merchants, pro fessional gentlomep, clerks in. stores, and, in short, business men generally, who are unable always to be at their homes or lodging places at dining hours, we feel assured will he gladly acted upon, and we may if ay, moreover, tbAt a single visit on such au errand will ho sure to induce frequent repetitions iri the future. As to the Internal attraction ss of their saloons, they are unrivalled 1q this oity for taste and neatness; and In point of cleanliness—a most important desideratum— the most sensitive in such matters express themselves not only satisfied but delighted. In the lower saloon, in the rear of the confectionery department, shielded from view, are >lines of marble-top metallic tables, at which one or more may be accommodated, at remark ably nhort notice; while the immense saloon overhead,, which Is similarly furnished and supplied with A long row of chandeliers, is, without any oxception, one of the moßt complete dining rooms In this country. Their facilities in this room alone enable them to dine acom pany of two hundred persons at a single sitting. The simplicity of style in Which this.saloon is furnished Is at once pleasing and inviting, although the ornate ! columns acd graceful mirrors which surround it give to it an air bordering on the magnificent. In the rear of this saloon and entirely separate from it, is a smaller one, handsomely furnished, intended for private par ties, and which, wo learn from the proprietors, is fre quently occupied by bridal and other parties from the count'/j who may be visiting the city Tor a day, with out wishing for hotel accommodations for so nhort an interval. The confectionery and fruit departments are on a scale which the reader will bettor understand by making a personal visit than by any description we c)uld give. Both sides of the main room, on the first Door, are sap plied with glass-enclosed cases, extendldg nearly the entire length of the room, which are literally filled with all the most exquisite delicacies for the palate that the arts confectionery and preservative can sup ply. The orders they are dally receiving in this depart ment alone are almost incredible. We may notioe cn passant that one of their chief facilities is, to supply dinner, supper, and wedding parties promptly, at the shortest notice, with all the requisites in the culinary, fruit, or confect.onery line. Their trnamental confectionery Is especially worthy of notice. Borne of the handsomest specimens in this line we have ever seen were executed at this establish ment Indeed, so important in this branch, that they omploy constantly a skilled Parisian in getting up cakes to order, some of whioh are sent to distant parts of the Union. From one of the proprietors we learn that an order for wedding cake has just been filled and shipped to central Virginia, and their orders for similar articles from the city of New York, and elsewhere, are of fre quont occurrence. Their ice creams, jellies, water-ices, charlotte russe, and that class of confections, are deservedly popular with the publio, aod we may say as mush of their can dles also, of which they keep an elegant assortment, as well as or plain and faocy pastry of every descrip tion. We may say, moreover, that their “ oysters, in every style,” means something more than labaualJy implied by the phrase; and U*t, bat not least, that their charges for all that we have named, including meals, coufeetionory, preserved fruit, every variety of cakoi &o , are exceedingly m'derato. to Merchants and Lawyers.— In another column, to-day, will bo found the announce ment of a course of lectures on mercantile law, at Bry ant A Stratton’s Mercantile College, S.
