WASIIINGTON, Deo, 13
Illokatan'a epee/Is, yesterday afternoon, wag a
great dais, and *sawed more sensation in the
}louse than any that has been delivered as yet
this exolting debate. " It WM powerful in ili
honesty, and received additional force from the
purity of diction, and elevated dignity which
oharaoterised lie manner as Well'ae its matter. It
was listened to with more determined agiention
by the Southern members than any speech on their
own side, with the exception, probably, of thete
made by Curry, of Alabama, and Lamar, of Mis
sissippi. Indeed, I am Inclined to nay that more
ittentionirks vouchsafed to Mr. ilioirman's speech,
hismite the South tirat too much excited, and an
tiolmited too numb of the sentiments spoken
hy' their, 'Southern colleagues. The ablest
men, and the oldest in the House, were well aware
that Hickman' would speak with emphasis and
fearleasnass and dearness; for they remembered
hie 'great 'exposition of the tariff question. New
raembersovho hat% taken their one from the Con•
ststutims, and: the Slaw and Union, expected,
probably; a turbulent denunciation of the Execu
tive; and lite South did not expect to be mot so
fairly and in sash a manly spirit of dismission. Mr
Iliokraan did 'argue from matters of policy, but
stated matters of truth so far as hp comprehended
them, and no one who heard him had a doubt of
the speaker's most solemn conviotions in every
;word he uttered. He treated the South, as be Said
be wettid wish himself to be treated, with respect,
and where true meet understand eaoh other on this
basis, they always listen with attention, and con
sider with at least an attempt at. fairness.
The galleries were not less entranced than the
'deer. You odd hear a pin drop, as the saying is,
save now and then, when Leake, of Virginia, a
gentleman wbb is very easily exoited, vvonld pttob
himself uneasily about, and demanded the kind at
tentions of his colleague, Mr. Garnett, to pacify
him.
As Mr. Bloke= went over the compromises and
stated the dirges wbieh the North would make to
the South, and hoes answered by the latter, there
wu • vivid and almost breathless Intensity of
earnestness ell mend. Then again, u he--die.
claiming any opposition to the rights of the South
—,deolared he would treat It as a younger sister;
would give her more than her , rights, as ohs was
the weaker—the leading gentlemen, to whom be
teas speaking, opened their eyes very wide and
moved uneasily. Again, replying to Gartrell's (of
Georgia) Impetnone query as to bow the North
eonld prevent a dissolution 'of the Union, Rick-
Man'eanswer was 'deltvered with nob a decorous
conviction of its truth, That it took away half the
etingeohreyed by actual fasts.
It really was a most remarkable speech, and one
which ought to be read in its entirety. It le M
oult to give a proper idea of its power. One may
differ with acme of lts conclusions, or probably to
some extent deplore the exigencies unto which
.thei c conclusions may drive a man of Mr. Mink•
man's temperament but all must admit its ox•
Goading power,isnil feel the oonvietiou that snob a
speech must damage the Administration, even
more effectually then the speeches and artiste/ of
the apologists and followers of Mr. Buchanan.
Mr. Sickles has occupied two hours this morning
in a reply to Mr. Rickman, denying that the South
Violated the compromises; and informing us that
the Missouri "Compromise" was not a compro•
miss, but an experiment. Me predicted the fall
of the Republican party, and defended the State
of New York from the charge of disloyalty ineen-
Solent.
It was expeoted that Mr, Clark, of Missouri,
who declared yesterday afternoon that he would
oppose taViwything until ft vote was had on his re
solution, introduced on the drat day of meeting,
would carry out his throat this morning. Ile did
not, however, make any move towards "smoking
out those who would not vote with him, and lir.
Sickles took the floor.
Mr. Garnett B. Adrain followed In denunciation
of the article in the Conniention of Saturday,
which he characterised as Insolent and impudent.
Beheld btr. Buchanan responsible for that article ;
mid—addressing the Administration side—how
can I vote with you who endorse the sentiments of
snob an article? If they endorsed that paper, and
the °barges which it had made against the anti-
Lecompton Democrats, how could he join with
them in electing Mr. Boaook, the Administration
oandidatel 80, for himself, dtd not ask the Con-
Jititution or the Administration to endorse his De.
nal:essay. Ilia constituents bad endorsed him. That
paper and the power behind it bad read him out of
the potty forhts autton in oppootttoo to the Leoomp•
ton fraud, but his own people had sustained him.
Be quoted with offset from Mr. Buohanan's letter
of acceptance touching the rights of the people in
a Territory, and also from a speech by Alexander
11:121tenbena, in support of the, dearth* advanced
by Mr. Buchanan, but afterwards forsaken by him.
He paid a high tribute to Senator Douglas, and
showed how that statesman drew a distinct
line between squatter and popular sovereignty ,
The former was the exercise of natural rights
without • law—the latter the exeroise of rights un
der law.
In reply to an interrogatory by Mr. Barnett, of
Kentucky, Mr. ,Adrala said that he would not vote
for the nominee of the Charleston Convention if be
did not hold the views on popular sovereignty (m
-ins/04 by hint today—the views held by Mr. Ba.
chanan in 1856, and the Southern statesmen who
spoke on the 'Kantous-Nebreeka bill. In reply to
another member, ho said he had been read out of
the .Democratie party by the Administration, and
he wattot to be read Into it at the bock of Mr.
Brahman. He, therefore, could not support the
Administration candidate for Spoiker. He do
fended himself for not going into the Democratic
caucus. Be could not do it without debasing him
self. - He made a very strong Douglas speech.
Mr. Clark interrupted Wale say that he bad
reason to know that Douglas would have been gru
dged If his friends In the House had gone Into the
Demooratte.caucus, to which Mr. Adrain very per.
tinently replied by another query. Knowing that
desire of Judge Douglas, as Mr. Clark did, why
did he not go into the canons? No reply worth
noting.
There is great colonel manifested both on the
floor and in the galleries in Mr. Adrain, whole en•
gaged in klively passage with Burnett, of Ken
' tasty, as I sin about to close.

Verdi's opera of Rigotetto" was played last
night, for the Scat time this season—we say played,
because Madame Colson and Signore Stilton! and
Ferri really ',Lave great dramatio aa well as groat
vocal 'power. They rang admirably also, and
Madame Strakosob was fully up to the mark in all
respects. In the third sot, the quartet, which
•heeofoar singers executed, won the heartiest and
best•deserved encore given for a long time within
these walls. In particular, Madame Colson's exe.
Sutton was extremely good. She Is by far the
best prima donna we have heard for years.

ad. At the close of the first Act, Colson & Ferri
were <tailed out; and again after Aot IL The ex
quisito'solo Can, tome," which Cohen sang in
Aot I, was nearly drowned by the music, though
her exquisite rendition drew down the house ; but
Verdi's besetting eta is brassy loudness. On the
whole, the performance was a decided fume's, so
far as depended on the artists. -
- *When " Rigoletto" was first produced, at
Venice; in 1851, it exalted a great deal of admira
tion, and Verdi considered it his chef d'cruvre,
until he subsequently composed the Trovatoro and
the Blellter, Vespers. ' It was fiat performed in
this otty, in January, 1858, at the Academy of
Music, under the management of Mr. E. A. Mar
shall. ' The prinolpal characters were oast time:
Gtilieta i by Madame P. Lagrange; The Duki, by
Blgnor Dignardi; Rismittro, the bacon, by Sig.
nor Tatanelli; 21fagetaten, by Madame D'Angri
and Syarafuesto, by Signor ROOOO. It will be ed.
milted, we think, that the oast last night was very
greatly snierior.
In fact, the present company is, , heyond all
doubt, the most complete, in all respoots, that has
ever visited this oily. The operas which they
bring out aro better sang, better noted, and bettor

night's performance, solely and unmistakably be
cam Philadelphia, with all its boasted taste and
feeling for Italian opera, will not support it? Tho
prices of admission are from a third to a half less
than the London and Paris prises. We do exproar
a hope that Mr. Strakoech will find, in the receipts
of this, his second week, sterling reasons for ex.
tending hie season until Christmas, as he originally
intended.
This evening, we ebell once again—and It is said
for the laat tline—have the gratification °nearing
that wonderfully gifted young lady, Signorina Ade-
Ilna,Battl. She Is a safe object to prophecy about,
and we predict that, should she visit Europe, so to
likely, she will make a sensation them not Inferior
to that Which Malibran awakened. We 'ball bear
her in" ,, La Sonnambula," Bellint's moat felieitons

and the fine quality of her votes exactly suite the

they will preserve and maintain theip. If that

oowardice, weakness, and impotence of the South,
in suffering a handful of men to seise the arsenal at
Harper's Ferry, in the face of fifteen hundred in
habitants. Another entertains us with newly-dia.

the same things.
He then quoted from the remarks of Republi•

would rise and say that ho condemned each a

Mr. CLAY panned ford id t'. None being given
he proceeded ttf bay that the enema of Senators
showed that all would encourage these deproda.

that the Republican principles, logically, carried
out, 'would lead them to seek the abolition of
slavery in the District of Cohnibit, and alluded to
,the refusal of that party re, rote for the Amisted

Mr. Gime, of California, that the Sena
tor from Alabama had expressed t o Vigra of a vast
majority of the Southern people n saying what
would-be the ineVitable notion of the elaveholdbmg
States in the °Vent of the election of a Republican
President. Entertaining these views, be would be
faithless to his trust, if he did not add his voice of
warning at this particular junoturo. There was a
great mistake existing in the bait-slaveholding
States in regard tq the hettite of the public senti
ment &nth, and the throats of secession, were re.
garded as unmeaning. He was convinced that
there was real danger, and urged the Republicans
I no limier to maintain principles which, if success

He believed that the slaveholding fita i tee Vrerb able
to establish a separate and indill B incloitt Govern -

of any foreign Poirot. They have all the elements
of sttength in themselves, The geography of the
Southern country has not been looked at.
While theAtlantle seaboard of the Northern States
' is only about nine thousand miles, by the Coast
Survey report, it would be seen that the Southern
States have twenty-three thousand miles, giving
' them an opportunity fur an irnmenso commerce.
Properly fortified, they can defend themselves
against All enemies. He spoke of the affection bo.
tween the slaves and masters, which, at the North,
' was not appreciated and understood. It was mei
nently demonstrated at the recent invasion of Ilar
per's Ferry, where the slaves were seen fighting
for their mestere, or running home for protection,
This sentiment is universal throughout all the
Southern States. Not only do the slaves not seek
their freedom, but it is a curse to thorn when they
get it. The free negroes • either in Hayti or the
Northern States have never been so happy, enjoyed
so many privileges, or so nearly approached civili
zation, as the slaves do in the slaveholding States.

Mr. Eine, of New Ilainpshire, said that if what
the Senator from California uttered be true, we
are not in- Union now. That Senator had urged
the majority at the North (for none but a majority
I could eleot a President) to forego their convictions,
their sense of duty, and public policy, and, like
the French Parliament of old, which merely
registered the decrees of tho Monarch—so the
majority at the North were asked to register the
decrees of their Southern masters. If the free ex

Mr. Witsou, of Massachusetts, thought there
I was some mistake about Governor Chase having
said he bated slavehoiders. Ife had known Clover
' nor Chase long and well, and ho was the last man
to use such language. For himself, he repudiated
I the charge that the RePublionns of Massachusetts
hate alavehoiders. Yet, what are we to think of
'Om feelings in the South towards the North, when
advertisements appear in the Richmond papers of

I ballot Congress? The declarations that the Union
is to be, dissolved if the people of this country
l etteees to sleet a Republican President are received
I Mhz, froe States as they should be received, with
the sternest condemnation. And such declarations
here, and in the Rouse of Representatives, have
aroused not a poor, miserable, cowardly spirit of
servility but a manly spiritist freemen determined
to exercise - their own constitutional rights and
express their opinions publicly and at the ballot-box.

Notwithstanding these throats on the floor of the

Mr. CLAY. lie could go further than he bad

Mr. ADBAIN said be would not, nor would his

declare that the people of a Territory,Jike those of
a State, have the right to decide the question of
slavery for themselves.
Mr. ITICKMAN said the North, in conetrulog the
Cincinnati platform, hold that the people, in a
Territorial condition, have the right to mind°
slavery. The South construe it differently, that
the people can exclude it only when they come to
form a State Constitution. This Is the issue be
tween the North and the South. I Be, as a Demo
oral, would vote for no man, not even for Douglas,
without an explanation.
Mr. Merton Inquired what party he would co
operate with in the election of Speaker?
hir. Biome» replied, With any political senti
ment against the Administration party; for he
considered the sentiments of that party the most
obnoxious.
Mr. Mcßae remarked that the inference was
that Mr. Rickman would co-operate with the Re
publicans. Re then analysed the rotes which had
been taken, to show that the responsibility of elect•
leg the Speaker rested on the Southern Opposition
end- the anti•Lecosuptonitee.
Mr. Ernentnoe, of Tennessee, suggested whether
if thirty-five or forty votes could be polled fee Mr.
Gilmer, of North Carolina, the Demoorate would
join their forces to his support lie said the South
ern members could have no objection to Mr. Gil•
mar, who holds a hundred sines.
Mr. Molten asked whether it was fair that
eighty-eight or ninety men should go over to twen
ty-three? lied it been shown that Gilmer could
got thirty votes, why did not the gentleman unite
hie twenty-three with the Democrats, putting the
responsibility on the anti-Lecomptonites to deter•
mine the result?
Mr. ETIIRRIDDI said they could toot the fact
when it could ho theme that Mr. Boma can re
oeive ninety-three voice. It would then be no dlr.
fieult task to show how he meld be elected. Sotre
of the Den:erste, howevor,'had refused to vote for
Mr. &wick and ignored his Democracy.
Mr. Ilitessoit, of Tennessee, said he could not

who endorsed the pottiest of Mr. Douglas, as the

rights. wished to ask Mr. Booock whether be

that a Territory eau exclude slavery t h erefrom by

Mr. Mcßae replied that Mr. Becock had not

Mr. kmartit, of niew York, said that be would
never vote for any patron DU' Speaker who was
not hostile to legislation, by Congress, for the pro
teotion of slave property in the Torritories—wha
was not thoroughly inimical to the abrogation of
the laws against the Afrioan slave trade. And he
must not be a man who would deem the election of
a Republican as sufficient cause to attem pt a dissolu
tioh of the Union. Ile would not say that Mr. Bo
cook did sot stand on this platform.
Mr. Mcßae replied that the Demooratio party
did not make the reopening of the slave trade a

Mr. Mcßae. Would you support a nominee of

The following comMunieattons were red el ted and
appropriately referred:
One from the First section, asking for en increase
in the salaries of certain housekeepers.
One asking for a division of the Pollock seconda

One from Sarno, It Doege,,eaking for the Intro
duction of a certain arithuietie.
One from the Nineteenth section, asking for the
establishment of a secondary school in the vicinity
of Frankford,road an 4 Cumberland street.
The Committee on Adeennte reported bills to the
amount of $113,308 , 10, which were referred,
The Committee on Girls' High School reported
that the school has been organized, as nearly as
possible In accordance with the pre-arranged plan.
It was formed of the pupils of the J.ate Normal
School with 206 candidates front the grammar
wheels, examined by a epeeist committee. The
committee having determined to employ a female
teacher of musts, and two months elapsed before a
selection was made, during which time musts was
not taught. No French teacher has yet been em
ployedl no appropriation having yet been made for
the vutgose. The Board of Directors, having
charge of the docticine designed by the Board of
Control for Cie establishinent of actin:And Practice,
bale boen addressed in relation to the matter, but
none of them hails offered their schools for this pur
pose except the Poiirteenth section. Three pupils
of section A and B have been ant to the Ilaneook
Secondary School, It is evident that this depart
snout must fail If more extended facilities cannot

The High School, under the present organize.
tion, Is operating as well as it possibly can without
having the furniture of the assembly TOM eo al
tered as to provide seats for the whole mimed,
which has pot been together shoe its opening.
The report wee adopted.
The committee appointed at a special meeting
to take into ecesiderition the subject of removing
the chamber of the Controllers to Eptitg Garden
Hall reported adversely. and submitted several
reasons for their action. The annual vent ef the
present room is only $9OO, which includes heating,
while the Spring Garden Hall is worth $30,000,
and would rent for $2,600 per annum. The Pro.
Sent re'oen is convenient to all the offices of the City
Government, and Spring Garden Hall is distant
from them. Councils, early after consolhiatiOn,
assembled there, and found it so inconvenient that
they fitted up Independence Hall for their use
The members of the School Board derive their
power from the people the same as the City Coun
cils, and therefore the former entertain the opinion
that the latter have no right to locate a place of
meeting for the Controllers. The report closes
with a resolution requesting the Commissioner of
City Property not to expend the eum of 53,600 for
alter:Wong of Spring Carden Hall, because it is a
useless expense„ the object thereof sot being asked
for nor desired by the Controllers.
Tho report was agreed to unanimously, also a
resolution directing that five hundred copies of it
be printed and served out to the members of the
City Council.
A. discussion then occupied the chamber for a
considerable length of time relative to the pay
ment of certain bills for furniture for certain
' school-houses, ka.
The Committee on Supplies recommend the in
troduction of oertain books, among which was

Several members expressed themselves in favor
of the adoption of Greenleers arithmetio, but were
not prepared to vote for the entire report of the
committee.
A motion to recommit the report of the com
mittee, and that the oominittce be instructed to
report, nil the several. works separately, 9 . 4 that
eaoh book may be received on Ito own merits, was
lost.
The debate was then resumed on the original re-

report was adopted.
A resolution was adopted that when this board

I DESTRUCTIVE VIRE YEEITERDAT
About six o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke
out in a three and a half storied building in the
rear of No. 220 North Second street, above Race.
The structure was occupied by different mechanics,
and the fire commencing upon the first floor. it
spread rapidly through the entire building. The
firemen were promptly in service, and powerful
streams wore thrown upon the flames from the
steamers. Before they °mild he übdued the build
ing and its contents were destroyed or badly da
maged. The fire also extended to an adjoining
building, need for manufacturing purposes, nod
the upperportion of It was destroyed. The build
ing last described was occupied by Mr. Bush, ve
neer cutter, and by Joseph Green, manufacturer
of hominy. The buildings occupied by Mr. Bush
and Mr. Green were owned by Mr. E. K. Tryon.
His loss is covered by insurance.
The building in which the flames originated was
occupied by the following tenants: Frank S. Gray,
refiners of gold and silver, and assayers; f. Jack
son, wood turner; E. Kallenberg. machinist. The
origin of the fire is Involved in mystery. An ac
cident happened to the steamer of the illiterate
Engine Company while she was on the rend to the
scene of the fire. She was erossing Third street
*hen the fore-axle snapped off, and the engine wan
overturned, damaging it badly and obstructing
the Third-street railway track for more than four
hotirs. The effect of this obetruotion was to com
pletely derange the business of the Second and
Third streets and Rees and Vivo streets linen, and
the care were crowded along Second. Dock, and
Third streets for hours. They were finally turned
off at Chestnut street, and taken along Chestnut,
Second, and Market streets to Third, where they
were again placed upon the track above the ob
struction. A similar accident happened to the
Washington steamer when she was proceeding
down Race street. It is singular that these two
groat rivals at the late fair should meet with the
same accident, at the same time, but at different
places.
The loss of all parties is about 55,000, excluding
the damage to the engines.
Manetrre Iw Tug towxn Wanbs.---Tho
workmen are busily engaged In erecting two
squares of new market-sheds in Eleventh street,
below Catharine. These improvements are much
needed in thatlocallty, and will be rented annually
to butchers, dealers, and others. There will be at
least 120 atolls, which will be rented without a re
sort to the premium system. The latter system Is
departed from on the theory that It ts often attend
ed by bail results from parties purchasing stalls on
speculation, and afterwards holding them lay far
an advance, during which time they frequently re
main idle. It is designed to place ten butchers'
stalls at each end of the two markets, and rent the
intervening stalls to farmers and dealers. Already
eight butchers' stalls at the corner of Catherine
street, and ton at tke corner of Christian etroet,
have been rented, and there are applications eufil
dent to occupy the whole number remaining un
sold. The names of thirty-five farmers have been
entered who wish to occupy stalls . , and as soon ae
this portion is arranged the market will be opened
Ate ITEM ABOUT Warm—Since the lower
section of the city has been supplied with water
through the new thirty-inch main, the capacity of
the works at Fairmount has been pretty fully test
ed.Pfilost of the wheels have to be kept in constant
motion, to keep the reservoir filled with its oust
quantity. Tho Spring Garden works have horn no
connected with the Fairmount and Kensington
worke, that water can be supplied to all portions
of the city while repairs era being made nt Fair
mount. The Spring Garden works are now in par
feet order, two new boilers having been put in the
engine house, and the ineehinery repaired, so that
their capacity is almost equal to the works at Fair
mount. The clerks at the Register's office are now
busily engaged in making out the duplicates for
1800, and the books will be ready in time to allow
our citizens to pay their water rent on the let of
January. The amount of assessment will be con
siderably Increased over that of the present year,
in consequence of the large number of new build
ings erected, end the extension of water mains and
pipes.

REMEMBER TUE Foon.—Tho great evil ttC•
companying the cold weather is the distress it in
variably brings en the poor. The last few days, to
inclement have they been, that this distress is felt
all over the city to a greater or lees degree. ma n y
who were hitherto able to support themselvell have
been obliged to call on our benevolent institutions
for relief. On Saturday and yesterday the office
of the Union Benevolent Association was crowded
with visitors seeking relief. A large number of
stoves were distributed; also, about twelve tons of
coal, each family being allowed a quarter of a ton.
If the weather should Continue as it is at the pre
sent time, we have no doubt but that our charita
ble institutions will be unable to meet all the large
demands made upon them.
