The Difficulties of the Country.
It is an incontestable fact, that while public
opinion, at first startled and surprised at
the announcement that the Administration of
Mr. Locons would be compelled to direct the
evacuation of Fort Sumpter, the more the ne
cessities of the 0880 are examined and discus.
-sad the more inevitable the abandonment of
that fortress seems to be. This, however, will
be the removal of but one obstacle. Another
and far greater one must be shortly :unmount
ed, and that is, how shall the Federal Govern
ment collect the revenues at the ports of the
seceding States? We observe that in at least
two journals, one of them a highly accepted
Republican authority, the N.Y. Evening Post,
and the other a paper sincerely friendly to the
Administration, the New York. World, the
ground is taken that these revenues cannot I
be collected in any satisfactory manner. The
Post says : cg The Government has no longer
any warehouses in the seceding ports, and the
hold of an armed vessel would neither be a
proper nor a sufficiently spacious depository
for the goods. The duties in that ease can
not be collected, and the collector will be
puzzled to know whether to let the ship pro
ceed to her port or to detain her." The Post 1
(a free-trade paper) regards - the new tariff,
ge with its strange formalities and ingeniously
devised delays, a great obstacle to the collec
tion of our revenues at the seceding ports,"
and then adds :
d. What, then, is left foroUr Government? Shall
we let the receding States repeal the revenue
laws for the whole Union in this manner? Or
will the Government choose to consider all loreiga
commerce destined for those ports where we have
no custom houses and no collectors as contraband,
and 'Cop it, when offering to enter the collection
districts from which our authorities have been ex
pelled? Or will the Proeldent dal a epee's] au
*tort of Congress to do what the last unwisely
failed to do—to abolish all ports of entry in the
nestling States ?"
The World takes the following view of this
important question
" The revenue, then, emit be colleeted, or the
Goverument dies of atrophy. But collected—how ?
Plot by the methods provided for , by the existing
laws, for the authorities of the rebel States will
not permit it Custom-house officers would leave
to be sent to the ports of the rebel States from
abroad, and an army at each part would be neeea•
eery to protect them in the discharge of their du
lies It Mr. Lincoln lacks the means to reinforce
Fort Sumpter, be certainly lacks troops troMeient
to protect revenue efficers in all the Southern
ports of entry. Besides, it isoontrary to his poll
ov, as announced in the inaugural, to send atrenge
Motile into the rebel States. Tha revenrie, then,
cannot be collected in those States on lend It
must he collected onside the timbers, or nowhere.
* *
"If an extra torsion is called, it might seem
presumptuous to express a very confident opinion
so to the precise action Congress ought to adopt
when assembled. Mr Lincoln will, of coarse, lay
before them wellweighed recommendations, which
they will oarefulky ootwider. Ent, with our pre
seat lights. we cannot too that any metwero i 9 ode.
goats to the exigency but the abolition of the ports
of entry in all the seceded States. We had tt to be
;roam:Wu impossible to collect the revenue out
side Mar - harbors. Tne new tariff is so oomph
oated, and makes the assessment of the
duties ISO laborious —it requires so much
weighing, and measuring, and ealoulating,
and counting of throado to tho rivare inch—
that we do not see how all the operoso proceedings
it requires can well be performed on board ships,
amid the toning. of the mean. The only possible
way
. to manage this matter is for Congress to au
thorns the President to babe his proclamation de
claring all the porta of entry, in States where the
duties cannot be peaceably collected is the erdi
nayy manner, abolished, and thus compelling all
shipments of geode to this country to be made to
the ports of the loyal States."
If the Administration of Mr. Listentx found
itself without power, and almost without
means, to defend and recapture the public
property in the seceding States; and if, as now
seems to be certain, it will be driven to the
alternative of directing the evacuation of Fort
Sumpter, the embarrassments in its path in
reference to the collection of the revenues in
the seceding States will be found to be much
more tratueroue and insurmountable. May it
not be wise, then, to let time do the work—to
give over the conspirators to their own peo
pla---to allow them to be rebuked by those
they have deceived—and to let them try their
revolutionary experiment in their own way ?
The alternative of an extra cession le always
a hazardous one. We know of no case in
which it has not reacted upon the Adminis
tration resorting to it. In any case, should
the President deem it necessary to call one,
sixty days must elapse before such a Congress
can be.convened, and then what, with the Ms
cuasions and the conflict between those of the
Republicans who think the Union is better oft
without the Cotton States and those who are
In favor of enforcing the laws, and that other
doss which will array itself againat either or
both• these plane, so mach time will be con
sumed that the sequel may leave the Govern
ment. precisely where it is to-day. Here, now,
is the dilemma which requires the greatest
forethought on the part of the Executive and
his constitutional advisers, and the greatest
patience and patriotism on the part of the
people.
The 1 4 ew 'United States Senator.
Hon. DAVID WILMOT was yesterday elected
United States Senator, to fill the vacaney oc
casioned by the resignation of Hon. SIMON
CAMERON. His term will expire on the 4tb of
March, 1863. The public career of Mr. Wa
lser is so well known to our readers that it is
net necessary to recapitulate it here. His
ability and integrity are u s innestienable, and
the chief objection which was urged against
bun in the recent canvass was his radical Re
publicanism. It is but just to state, however,
that his action as a member of the Peace
Conference which was recently in session at
Washington, was of a much more conserva
tive and conciliatory character than those who
had been accustomed to regard him as a re
presentative of extreme Free Soil views an
ticipated; and hie friends confidently predict
that he will not only prove an able Senator
bat a ftlithfal exponent of the prevailing ser
timents of our State.

Victor Emmanuel, Bing of Italy.
Twenty.two months ago, Austria commenced
the Italian War, by pouring her legions Into
Piedmont. The world kn6ws In what a fel
racidously abort time the invader became the
defeated, and how the loss of the Battle of
Solferino compelled Austria eagerly to accept
the terms, hard as they were, which France
proffered, on stiverd 7 a point, at Villa Franca.
Since then, the Italian Duchies have annexed
themselves to Piedmont and Lombardy. Later
still, Sicily and Naples did the same. Last of
all, the fortress of Gaeta, so well defended by
Painels IL, ox .x log o f Naples, surrendered
to VICTOR Exuma's!, who is now Sovereign
of Italy, with the exception of the remnant of
the Estates of the Church, of which the popu
lation is less than two millions and a half.
Still there remained the anomaly 01 the inter
of Italy bearing the local and contracted title
of King of Sardinia. That island came into
possession of the Dukes of Savoy, in 1720, by
exchange—it being swapped for Sicily, and
erected into a kingdom.
The Senate of the Italian Parliament have 1
passed, by 129 to 2, the project of law grant
ing the proud title of King of Italy to Vzoroa
EmmAlli 3
nsL and Europe will recognize the
propriety of this new rank- It is what the
gallant sovereign has fairly won, and he de
=yes to wear it. The London Times, of Fe
bruary 26, thus comments on the fact :
"From the passing of this law the new Italian
era may be said to troussonee The despised,
Tided, and down-trodden race ore once more a pet,
ple. The geographical "expression has become a
mighty kingdom, and the ingrates of Dante and
Petrarolt is no longer destined to be the vehicle of
ceaseless and unavailing oomplaints, bat will
henceforth convey the thoughts of the statesman,
and record the history of free men determining
[ their own destiny by their awn will and energy
Italy has put away childish things, or rather she
has shaken off that senility which approaches so
nearly to the weakness of childhood. She stands
before us regenerated and disenthralled, and
feels every vein and nerve throbbing with
the masienenocra of a new and a glorious Wet ,
ewe. Henceforth it becomes a duty never io for
get the vastness of the change Which has taken
place, nor to suffer old habit to draw us into con
fusing the Italy of the past with the Italy of the
present. We have no longer to apologise for the
weakness of a rime whose hands were benumbed
by the fetters which they had worn so long; we
have no longer to discuss doubtful questions of In
ternational Jaw, ner to plead for actions of more
than questionable legality the excuse derived from
a revolutionary crisis The struggle between
Italian and Dalian has ended with the fall of
Gn6ta. Civil war ' at least, is at an end; and
Italy, consolidated to a single nation, may expect,
and even demand, the respectful regognitiOn of
mankind."
The only uncertainty, on the Italian goes
tion, is--What shall be done with the Pope?
Appearances lead to the conclusion that
Franco will soon withdraw the military pro
tection which has maintained him in the Vati-
can during the last eleven years. If so, his
Holiness would be left to arrange with the
King of Italy, who would doubtless allow him
to continue Head of the Church, at Rome, or
to establish the Papal Sovereignty in some
other Catholic country. At all events, the
sooner he agrees to treat with Vrcroa Emu,
aura, the larger and more liberal terms will
he gain from that prince. There is no reason
why the King and the Pope should not both
reside in Home—one as ruler of Italy, the
other as Head of the Catholic Church.
The Number of Buildings in Philadel
phis and Other Cities.
One of the meet gratifying characteristics
of Philadelphia is the ample number of
comfortable houses which are furnished
to her population. In this respect she can
proudly contrast her position with any
other large city in the world. The number of
families here is tmt a little greater than the
number of dwellings. In Paris, there are
nearly twenty-two people, on an average, to
each house, and in New York more than fif
teen, while we have but about seven and a
half. The following tablo gives the latest sta
tistical information on this subject

Philadelphia, fortunately, has an immense
area of level and healthy ground, admirably
adapted for building purposes, surrounding
her on every side, except the river front, and
there is no necessity, no matter how large our
population may become, for crowding it into
densely populated and unhealthy tenement
houses, filled with poisonous air; and which
are almost as fatal to the health and longevity
of adults as dungeons, and absolutely destrua
tire to small children. We have hut com
paratively few of these plagne-spots hi our
midst, and there is so little excuse, in view
of our superior natural position, for any of
them, that our legislators, and, municipal go.
vernment, as well as property owners, should
constantly bear in mind, in all the building
operations which directly or indirectly come
under their control or supervision, the import
ance of avoiding the unhealthy and dernorali.
ring concentration, of large numbers of poor
familiee in a circumscribed space.
The eztraordinarity high rate of mortality
in the city of New York., particularly among
infants, is easily explsined by the social life
and domestic arrangements of an immense
proportion of its citizens. A writer in the
Herald, who has carefully scrutinised the re
turns of the census ) eve that of Its whole
population there are:

Of the one hundred and eight housea above
enumerated, which each contains more than
twenty families, one contains one hundred

sixty-nine people. It was built for one bun.
dred and forty-tour families. Another house
contains slaty-four colored families, and two
hundred and twenty-seven people, and another
seventy families, and two hundred and enaty
nine people.
These are extreme cases, it is true, bat the
general rule is for more than one family to
occupy a house; and it is only about one
third of the dwelling homes of the whole city
that are not occupied by several families.
This state of affairs when contrasted with the
numerous comfortable and healthy homes
owned, in many instances, by those who oc
cupy them in Philadelphia—while in New
York it is supposed that but about ninety
seven hundred families out of the one hun
dred and fifty-five thousand own the houses
they occupy—goes far to, account for the
superior degree of domestic comfort, which
all who are familiar with the social life of our
city perceive in almost every portion of it.

- Letter from " Occasional."
ioorreeponamoe ot The Prestki
WAIIIIINIITON I Marob /4, 1861.
Of all the inanities of these exciting Buses,
that of Secession approaches closest to the !idiot'.
lone sublime. The engineer', of the Southern
Confederacy withdrew themselves from Congress
and from the Union, and in doing to left both
branches of that body in the hands of the Repub
licans. They next deprived themselves of all the
advantages that might result from future changes
and calamities in the Republican party. They
th en f orce d hundred. of men to out loose from well
paid positions in all brenohei of the public service;
they burdened their people pith taxation; they
improvised egpensive ' , tainting artistes; they
Created nee and exorbitant ; and now,
after they have succeeded in what they Satter
themselves is the overthrow of the Federal
Government, they discover there are few
meterialle with which to construct a Go
vernment of their own, and that the workmen
whom they expected to aid them are already be
ginning to quarrel among themselves. In proper
thin, too, as they have achieved all this Telly, they
have relieved the Administration of Mr. Lincoln
from many burdens, for, by the time the Southern
Confederacy, has been established as the grandest
failure of the age, most of the dim of the yid,
and regular, end Stable government, will have
been filled by Northern or by Union men; end
those lucrative and much-envied position. in the
army, the navy, and in the diplomatic and consu
lar service, which have been vacated by reluctant
resignatione, will be occupied by men patriotically
devoted to the preservation and proteetion of our
free institution..
No one can meet a Southern Seceder for
there are a fe* of them left among us
and watch the expression of his countenance,
and weigh the words that Fall from his dips,
without being convinced tbet be loss no heart
in the cause he advocates, and that he is looking
forward with anguish and fear to the speedy
collapse of the whole Seoession conspiracy. One
of them yesterday fixed the limit of endurance of
that meet temporary experiment at four years,
and another confessed that unless some coup d'itat
could ne effected there would be an outbreak on
the part of the Union men in the Cotton States
that would extinguish the whole rebellion, leadiers,
subordinates, organs, and all. Two omcere of the
navy, lately arrived from Florida, and one of them
some time located at one of our naval stations on
that ooast, give the most melancholy picture of
the manner in which the Diannioniets suppress
freedom of speech and the freedom of the
press. They declare that nothing like it has ever
been known in Or country ; that if all could be
told it would be !Mind as the ravings of a ma
niac ; and yet, in tilt fah tof this terrorism, there
'Write in the hearts of the people of Florida a warm
and vital affection for our whole country. A gentle
man who was sent forward on a secret mission by
Mr. Buchanan, told me day before yesterday, that
strong as was his attaohment for the Union before
he started upon his errand. what he saw and what
he realised, duriog his absence, triereased this at
taehment to such a degree as to make him mare
than ever devoted 'to his country. 't From my
soul," be said, it I pity the deceived and betrayed
people of the Cotton States. Proud, ;sensitive,
and brave, they are bearing up gallantly under
the loads that are piled upon them ; but if you
can get one of them alone, and hear him pour out
in agony of spirit his reproaches upon his leaders,
and his regrets at the course be has been forced
to pursue, yon meet have a heart of stone if you
do not sympathize with his forlorn eocdition."
The effect of this state of things, however deplore
ble under the regular Government, encroaches
most disadrously upon those who have been
chiefly inetrinnental is bringing it abotit. I have
alluded to the forded resignations of valuable
positions by men born in the Cotton States who
allowed themselves to be controlled by the Seces
sion delirium. These men have been accustomed
to the ease and luxury of high ad= ; many of
them have been connected with the Government
for a quarter of a - century; and many of them , '
have bad no profession bat that of plaoemen.
Where are these men to go? Where, indeed, but
to. Montgomery, where Jeffers= Davis, seated in
the very midst of revolution, the mock President
of a mock Republic, affeotti to dispense foyers
when he has none to bestow; to conduct a Go
vernment without authority or organization ; to
spend money which ham not yet been bor
rowed
rowed; and to contend against factions which
start up like the hosts of ioderick Dhu on
every hand ? Por years, ever since the begin
ning of the Reepriblio, Washington city has
boon the headquarters of Southern politiolans and
oflice-eeekers. Here, under all Administrations,
have they swarmed like the locusts of Bop; and
they have controlled Presidents, and cabinets, end
departments with a bold, high band. Eapetienced
in the manegement of men ; reared to what in
these days is called statesmanship, partisans and 1
party leaders from the fact that most of them had
no other oocupation but that of polities, they were
an overmatch for the men of the free North aid
Northwest, and look down with haughty scorn
'upon all who are not, like themselves, horn under
an ardent Southern can. This great army
is now wending its mournful way to Mont
gomery. I hear daily of new pilgrims to
that new Moo= of our new Mahomedanism.
Some,' bsfilid in all their sehernee at this
point, turn to the Southern Confederacy to
feed and clothe them; some propose to furnish the
standing army of General Davis and General
Baaaregard and Major General Jerry Clemens
with ammunition and arms; some propoae to sup
ply provisions to the troop' and to the servile
population ; some indulge bright dream of being
interested in a vast scheme of Southern internal
improvements; arid more than one looks forward
to an epaulet in the army or navy of this new
despotism, or to going abroad to represent it at
foreign Governments. But all these ealculationa
are constantly defeated and disappointed by exhi
bitions of *ant of funds, want of confidence, and
want of harmony in the councils of the Southern
conspirators, and again by the fact that the Union
party is the Cotton States is beginniog to gird on
its steau and prepare to leap from its ambuscade
upon tbe bold, bed men who have leilieted such
irremediable evils upon the whole American people'.
In proportion as the Southern Confederacy proves
its weakness and exposes its salient points, the
leaders become morgg and more desperate. Those
of them in the Rorar States who calculated that
Secession would oryetaltee into a great triumph,
Audios that they cannot be sustained, are getting
up meetings, in order to deceive still more the peo
ple of the Cotton States and to encourage the
desponding spirits of the conspirators, in which
they give utterance to the strongest expressions of
sympathy for secession ; but when Mr. Pryor, and
Mr. Botnek, and Geverner Mee, of Virginia, and,
General Ashe, of North Cerolina, and Robert lit.
McLane and Philip Frank Thomas, of Maryland,
are tried at the bar of public opinion, they will
receive such a rebuke as has never been adminis
tered to faithleits peddle men. The end will be,
that whether Mr. Linooin calls an extra session or
whether he watts until December, not a Seces
niontSt will 6e found tie the Rouse of Represent
atives, and those who have been prodawning
nnzonn doctrines in the Senate wall be anstructed

OPEOiAi SESSION OF THE OFNATE.
Weenerreemst, March 14, 1861.
Mr. Menu, of Virginia, offered a resolution
calling on el, Secretary of War to inform the
Senate whether any portion of the District of
Columbia militia, or Orly cabers thereof, abtoo the
of January, have helm mustered into the
service of the United States ; and whether any
duty has been imposed on them by the depart
ment. If eo, whether they have received any,
and what allowances;
the nature nt tie duties;
for abet time employed; and whether the Same
still continue to be performed, eta.
Mt ek tamers, of blassectrusettseobjeetlng, the re
solution lies over.
.Mr. Docreees, of Illinois, moved to take up his
resoloriee, offered yesterday , calling on the Seers
fury of w ar r e eieforrhation relatteo SS4 the South
ern forte and other pubilo preVrty.
111 r Vassateeite, of hisino,, said it woe quite
obvious that.this was a Matter on which the Se
nate Sould net net. It required legislation and
they wore here only aa an se:tenter° session. He
theretore demanded the yeas and nays.
Ida, neerest, of Virginia, hoped the resolution
word,' be taken up. It interested eery deeply
the people of the country, who want to knew
whether they are to have peace or war. He did
not agree with the Senator from Maine that the
resolution was legislative in its character.
Mr. Ceistesele. of North Carolina, said he bad
prepared a vesointlon advletng the President to
make a treaty alth tbeereeteled states rotative to
this very property. Whether this *el Proper or
not, overybedy admitted that the President and
Senate are the treaty-making power, and that
whatever they do in that capacity is final, without
reference to the other houae. lie repeated that
the true penny was, for the President, by and with
the advise and consent of the Senate, to make seek
a treaty.
Mr. DOIJOLAS thought the majority ought to per
mit the resocurion to be taken up, in order that he
might explain his object in offering it, which was
for the best of 'purposes.
Mr. MAIM - paid the e.t.a:dation sailed for infer•
motion of very great moment, and if the majority
reined to take it up, the inference would be that
they desired to siipprese inforMation erecting the
question of peace or
Mr Faessereare said he bad hie objections to the
resoletion e Mie opinion ties that it would be un
wile to pass it; hence be could not withdraw hie
objection. , •
The question was then, taken, and the Senate re
fused to proceed to the consideration of the resole
doe by a vote of sixteen yews to twenty-four naye,---
all the Republicans voting in the negative.
Mr Reaseeliett Moved to take up the resole
tiqn (Oared by him yeateedey. as follows
Scsolved, That Menem Benjamin. of Louisiana;
Boma and Dav,s. of Ai,aaieepvt ; • Clan, of Alabama;
le4llorT, of lortda.; and Toombs, of Georgia. having
announced that tney ate no banner members of the Se
nate, their Bees have Nieuwe vacant. and the See a
taxy of , he senate to direoted to strike their names
from the roll of members.
Mr. Douai Ali inquired what wee the test propo
sition en the calendar.
The Came. (Mr Poet) replied the resolution of
the Senator from Illinois.
• MreDOUGLAS remarked that, as his resolution
wee the brat in order on the calendar, and it was
the duty of the Chair to say what wee before the
Senate without the formality of a vote to take it
up, be submitted that its consideration Mold not
be dispensed with without the Senate agreeing on
the question of pnetponetnetit.
The eneln replied that the refusal to take it up
was equivalent is, a postponement.
Mr. lereackurninot, s of Kentucky, thought the
derision of the Chair. correct, although before the
motion wee made by Mr. Douglas it *as the duty
of the Chair to antiounda that the resolution Was
before the Senate.
Mr. DOUGLAS, by the request of several gentle
men, withdrew the appeal be had taken from the
declaim of the Chair, saying he could get at his
object in another way, and open the debate.
The Senate prooeeded to the consideration of
Mr Feasenden's resolution by a Tote ig 26 yeas to
13 nays.
Mr FESSEADEN said he deemed it his duty to
introduce the resolution, as exhibiting the position
of the gentlemen therein named The Constitution
provides that seats may become vaoaet by resigna
tion or otherwise. After the declarations made by
them, and their withdrawal, their seats bad be
-661116 Went There mot be some time NOP the
Senate meet not in this matter
Mr. BAYARD, of Delaware moved the following
as a substitute : That Albert Brown and Jeffer
son Davis .of ititssieeippi, Stephen it Mallory of
Florida, Cletheri.t, C. Clay of Alotiaina, :11 abort
Toombs of Georgia, and Judah P. Benjamin of
Ludeiana, having announel4 that, by the recession
of their respective States, they were no longer
members of the Senate, and having withdrawn
therefrom, the Secretary is directed to omit their
names in calling the roll of the Senate.
Mr. BAYARD denied that there bad been any re
eignations. Those gentlemen had avowed that, by
the eruestrion of their Stater, they were no longer
members of the Sonata; but the majority bete did
not recognize the act cf secession, but bold that
they have the right to omit calling their names.
Suppose they return to thin chamber. could it then
he said that they had resigned P There wee no
pretence of resignation on their part; on the
dente/try, this was disclaithed by all of them,
horce there was no neoeseity to pass the resolution
in this form.
Mr. MASON was perfectly 'rationed that the gen
tlemen named in the resolution were not members
of the Senate, and therefore was perfectly willing to
vote for the resolution endorsing the fact. Mr.
Fessenden meant no disoorirtesy by saying in the
pymouon that their names be strichen from the
roll. lie suggested the substitution of the word
" omitted." The reeoletion implied that Bents
were vacant from those States. For this he could
not vote.
bir.•ffeastnxit, of Maine, aceepted Mr. MiiWW2's
verbal modifinUon.
Mr. BAYMin further opposed -Mr. Resaendsn's
resolution, and advocated his own stabeiltlite.
hir, ffnsaronan, in reply, said a seat may be
vacated by a Senator himself. As io bow be may
do it, with or without assigning reasons, whether
these be good or inautßotent, is a matter of the Sa
natoria own mind, end of his own net. Ile agreed
With Mr. - Bayard in the remark that, after being
elected, the Senator bad power Over himeelf, and
might continue a member or not, according to his
will or pleasare, except so far as he might be ope
rated on by We body itself. It was not neeeleary
that the resignation should be in writing It de
pended on no form of worsts. With the reasons of
thase gentlemen who bad withdrawn be bed no
thing to do. If they are satisfactory to them,
they were astiefeetory to him. They have deolared
they are no longer Sternberg of the Senate, and
having EG declared, have withdrawn from th'
Senate, and earried.ont their purpose to remain
no longer. He regarded that as a resignation of
their EGOS. He had simply declared, in his Tema
!alien, that, havintmede the announcement, and
carried it into operption, the remit was, their
seats have become_vacant, no others having been
elected - to their places. The seats were cadent
and to be filled: - He differed from the Senator
from Pelaware that the seem were still at the
disposal of there henators, to be filled whenever
they thought proper to do so Be, therefore, held
to the original resolution, which expresses the fact
improper phraseology, and was opposed to Mr.
Bayard's subatitute, becalm It only proposed 10
oorreot the roll.
Mr. BATAI3D, in reply, agreed that a resignation
required no peculiar !bile of language, but looked
to the intent of the resignatiOn.
Mr Bayard'e substitute was rejeotad—yeas 12,
nays 26.
Mr LIATNEUI moved to strike Mr. Brown's name
from Mr. Feasenden's reeolution, the latter not
having made the declaration imputed to the others.
Mr. PESSENDEN did not know why tide should
be done.
Mr BAYARD Did Mr. Brown eay be bed with
drawn? He did not open hie lips.
Mr. rx58510).621. Be staled in advatee whet be
would do.
Mr. BAYARD. Be did not make any such de
claration.
Mr FESSENDIIN. I think he made a speech
stating what he was about to do.
Ur- BAYARD- I don't deny what Mr. Brown
said he would do. but ho did not do it. The de
claration or what a man intends to do does not
amount to an set done.
Mr. Wrz..sow, of Maassobusetta, said he would
not attempt to quote Mr. Brown's language, but
be did metro some declaration and left the Senate
Be thought the printed debates would show the
Precise words, After Mamalppi went out, Mr.
Davis was sick and had been for several days.
Mr. (frown Slated, from the 'mat now occupied
by lb. Senator from Delaware, tbat be could Wee
no further part in the prooaedinga. and that he bad
area hie colleague, who, agreed with him. A day
or two after this. Mr. Davie made his farewell
epeeists, and withdrew. It 'teemed that those Sena
tors held a consultation, at which Mr. Brown made
a declaration as to what be should do. and Mr."
Deals came in and made a brief farewell address.
Mr. jauntiest said ralosiebippl went out on the
9th and on the 10th Davis made a speech, and
withdrew from the Senate. lie did not think Mr.
Brown made the declaration .that his State had
withdrawn.
Mr COLLANER of Vermont, after further pro
ceeding', said the modification of the resolution
IP (faired time for retiootlon. Re moved to go into
exeoutive eeesion Carried.
Alter a short time spent therein, the doona were
reopened, and the eonstderation of the resolution
resumed.
Mr. CLARK of New Hampshire, offered a rubel
tote for the resolution of Mr. Peseenden, which the
latter accepted, namely:
Wleereas, The seats awarded br Messrs. Brown and
Owns oflfis.ltino..Mallor.P. of Florida. Clay. of Ma.

GREAT IKLTAIZ
In the House of Lords; on the 25th ult , Lord
Stratford do Rectoliffa rtic-ezd for the.erodnotion of
ths eerrespondonee itlative to the afraive of Bras.
Vliqddhouse said that Al 0913f07000? *7.C. , hate
sit fog at Paris, to' inquire into the affairs of Syria,
and under these eircumstanoes the Government
did not think it wouul wi cessistant with the pub
lio interests to produce the pnArt. The mot i on
w- , e negatived.
t ee Home of Commons on the same (iv - en:lag '
Captain Jervis asked whotheo- Government had
coonsidered the advisability of entering into nego
tiations with foreign maritime powers with a view
to a reciprocal recognition of claims for salvage of
life beyond the jariudiotion of the Court of Admi
vax7. '
Mr, Milner Gibson said that the Ifitittorlad been
under consideration, and Government felt that
it wita very &Affable to establish ouch a recogni
tion of salvage ohtim#, and they would take stops,
if possible, to adapt the diLlit , me law of England
to it.
In reply toe question by MI. Edwin 411trea,
Lord Jonn /Or ell Said that it had not been de
aided that the French ovitipation of Syria Mould
extend beyond the stipulated time. The Turkish
member of the Paris Conferenoe had expressed an
opinion that the presence of foreign troupe was no
longer neeeazary ; but edde 1, that be should refer
the matter to his Government, if the ?eremite
. tires of the Great Powers were oluctrueted to re.
commend a obeli and definite" extenstm of the
period originally fixed. Thiel reference had been
made, but no decision : , whatever, had yet been
arrived at on the question.
Sir Charles Wood stated " that the alleged cm
plitity of Mr. Laing, In the misappropriation of
tee te l ltale of tbe Great Western Hallway Com
pany of Canada would be fully investigated, and
in the meautisite he asked the House to suspend
its judgment until Mr. Lang could be heard in
defence
The bill appropriating the four seats in Perlis
moot vacant by the eisfranohieement of the bea
roughs of Sudbury and St. Albans, was paneled to
eecond reading.
In the,Beeee of Commons, on the 26th, Mr. Cave
moved the following resllntions
lot That the Meant !Athena employed by Eng
land for the suppression tif the Afrimin slave trade
have failed
2d. That this failure bae mainly arisen frets hay
ing endeavored almost exeluttively to prevent the
supply, instead of to check the demand.
3d. That the remedy is not to be friend In MEM•
tenancing immigration into tholes countries where
slavery exists, but in augmenting the working
population of those in which slavery has been
abolished.
4th That, thetefere, while repressive measures
should be stationed, and even rendered meta
effective; every possible eteourageMent and assist
ance should be given to the introductien of free
immigrants. and especially of settlers from China,
into the British West India colonies.
Lord Jett!' Rtiseell said that the Governritent had
done all in its power to arrest the slave trade, and
to El great Went its efrorte had been enticestful,
That it bed not been more so, was owing . to the
American Government, which denied the privilege
of search in time of peace.
Ha regretted that the American Government, for
the sake of the Republic, (which he hoped would
always continue so,) bad nut been induced to re
move this great blot upon its flag, which protecte t
nine , tenths of the clove trade He smite agreed
with the general übjeeta of the resolutions; but, as
be could not see their practical advantage, he
moved the previous question.
Mr. Buxton feared that the Southern slave States
would re-establish the slave trade. Re hoped that
the Government meld 110Yer recognize a Southern
Confederacy without an exprematipulation against
the revival of the slave trade. Re suggested that
the slave coasts should be taken under the protec
tion of England, which 'maid enable her cruisers
to arrest the slave dealers asprivateers.
After some further remarks from various gen
tlemen, Lord PaimeritiOn said the Rome Wes much
indebted to the member who had raised, this die-
cession, who must teal that if he objected to the
working of his resolutions there was no practical
difference between him and the Government; but
it was a calumny to the country to say that it en
eoursged the slave trade. after the great, and,
laced, successful efforts the-had so long made to
put a stop it. The noble Lords. in the most in.
dignant language, condemned the shameleaa and
profligate oonduot of Spain, and complained
strongly of the policy of the 'United States, who,
from a mistaken sense of national honor, allowed
the prostitution of Its flag to the purposes of the
slave trade lie hoped that Mr. Cave would be
tattle :ea with the result of the discussion, and not
prises b s resolutiona.
Mr. Cave agreed to withdraw the resolutions.
The woavers of Blackburn and the surrounding
ditstriet bad partially resumed work, but a large.
number still hold out for their original demands.

The Committee of the Senate had adopted the
project of address in reply, to the opening speech of
the Emperor. The address congratulates the Em
peror upon his decree of the 24th November,
and upon his foreign policy. It then continues
thus "In reference to the effaire of Italy, OM in
terests which the Emperor wished to reconcile
have clashed against each other. The liberty of
Daly is in conflict with the Court of Rome. Your
Majesty's Government has done everything to
arrest this conflict, and ell equitable means have
been opened!. You hsve only hesitated before the
employment of force." The address pronounces
Itself in favor anon -intervention, end says ; " Ita
ly should not sgitate Furope by the exercise of
her liberty, and should remember the Catholic
world has entrusted to her the Used of the Church,
the highest representative of moral forte. But our
moat steadfast hope is in your tutelary hand, end
in your filial affection for the holy cause. which
your Majesty-will not confound with the cause of
Intrigues willab assume its guise. The Senate dove
not hesitate to give its most entire adhesion to all
the sets of the GoVernment. As regurde the future,
