Mr. Bell, (wllig) of Tennessee, has in troduced into congress the real knock-down argument, to sustain his opposition to the appropriation for tho suppression of Indian hostilities. On Friday, tho 1st inst. whilst this subject was under discussion in the House, Mr. II. G. Tukney, of Tennessee mado some remarks in reply to a spoccl of Bell, in which he handled him very so vcrely. Mr. Bell rose and replied with great violence, using language insulting to tiic dignity of the house. He said that 'Mr. Ttirhcy was the tool of tools, an in strument of instruments, a blow pipe conduit through which others emitted their gangrocno and rancor." Mr. Turncy turned upon Mr. Bell, and exclaimed, "sir, you arc a liar, it is false." Mr. Bell then struck Mr. Turncy, and sovcral blows pass- cd before thoy were separated. Both were required to apologise to tho house, and here the matter ended. ANOTHER OUTRAGE. A BRITISH STKAMBOAT HURST. By accounts from Sacket's Harbour, w learn that tho Sir Robert Peel, a British steamboat, stopped at Well's Island, about 3ix miles from Sacket's Harbour, bound to Kingston, U. C. for the purposo of taking in wood, when, about one o'clock at night sho was boarded by a band of 30 or 10 Canadian refugees tho passengers ordered on shoie, and the boat burnt, together wit tho passengers' baggage. About $00,000 in specie was on board, but no other freight Great excitement is created upon the lines in consequence of tho outrage, and fears were entertained that the Brliish would re taliato upon our shores. Sovcral companies of horse wero ordered out to protect tho inhabitants, and every effort was being mado by the proper authorities to bring tho culprits to justice.

I stated my ueuot mat mere could be no sale nor permanent resumption of specie payments by tho banks, until the policy ol the govern ment towards them-was chaiiKcd. Tho repeal of the Specie Circular by Congress makes that change. I seo now, what until now I havo not seen, the means of restoring tho currency. I rejoice very sincerely at tho termina tion of this unhappy controversy, and shall cordially co-operato with the government!))' promoting what tho banks arc, 1 am sure anxious to effect, an early resumption of specie payments throughout the Union. With great respect, yours, N. DIDDLE. Hon. J. Q. AdamS, Washington, D. O. Tho officers of the associated banks of the city also held a meeting, and appointed a committee for tho purpose of correspond ing with other banks, to effect an immcdi ato resumption of specie payments by all tho banks south and west. As thoy havo already expressed their ability and desiro to resume, wo presumo that in a very few weeks, we shall again bo blessed with spe cie paying banks, and no longer be scour ged with irredeemable bank notes and shin piasters. In connection with this subject, wo copy tho following remarks from tho Pciinsylva- nian of Saturday last.

Such being the true state of tho case, it is laugh able enough to sec the opposition party as suminjr tho attitude of triumph, and the President of the United btatcs Bank grave ly announced that the only obstacle being removed, he would now restore the curren cy! The outcry, however, answers one useful purpos bavins led the Singular ana inilal Jlcculcnt. A very extraordinary accident occurred in Port liopc, N. U. on Friday last, which lias plunged a highly respectable family of that town m tho deepest allliction. In the mor ning of that day Master James McSpaddcn (a youth about 14 years ot age) eldest son of Dr. McSpaddcn, left homo to fetch, as he said, something from the Presbyterian Church, winch stands nearly opposite his father's house.
